The Oldershaw Academy Resources For Pupils Working At Home Year 9

Summer Half Term 2 – Weeks 35 & 36 The Oldershaw Academy is committed to providing pupils with activities and resources which will continue to support their learning during this period of enforced closure. Whilst we recognise the challenges that working at home presents for young people and their parents and carers, it is vital that pupils continue with activities which support their learning but also their wellbeing. As the ‘lockdown’ continues, we understand that it presents many difficulties and we have designed this booklet to balance academic content with activities which support children’s emotional wellbeing. Pupils and parents / carers will be able to contact their class teachers via Academy email or Microsoft Teams to discuss the work set and ask questions. We hope that this period of enforced closure is as short as possible and we are looking forward to pupils returning to school. Core Subjects Your teachers have produced a recommended timetable to help you try and stick to a similar structure to school. We believe you should be spending at least 30 minutes working on English, Maths and Science each day.

Some students may want to complete more work and extend their learning. To do this, we would recommend using BBC Bitesize which provides daily lessons. You can watch them on television or through their website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize

You can post any work you complete on Teams for your teachers to view. We would also like you to rest and relax at the end of your work; you could talk to family or friends about what you have done and make sure you feel proud of yourself for completing your work to the best of your ability.

Menu of Activities We also understand that working at home is much harder than being in school in many ways. We know it can be difficult to ‘stick’ to your regular timetable sometimes, and also working without your teacher is difficult. Therefore, we have put together a range of activities for non-core subjects – you can choose when to do them and in what order to do them. Some of them are ‘thinking’ exercises about a topic or idea, others are trying a new activity, and some are practising something you’ve already learnt.

French Week 35 (15/06/20 – 19/06/20): With a focus on spelling and pronunciation, try and learn the following tongue twister, which focusses on the pronunciation of “oi” (pronounced wa): “Poisson sans boisson, c’est poison!” (translation: Fish without drink, it is poison!). Then create a poster or mind map with words of words you know containing “oi”. “Oi” can be anywhere, e.g. noir, poisson, oiseau, noix, etc. Week 36 (22/06/20 – 26/06/20): List as many infinitives as you can, e.g. regarder, aller, faire etc. Now, using the verb “aller” in its correct form + infinitive (future form), create as many sentences as you can! Some examples: Je vais aller au cinéma. Nous allons faire une pique-nique. Mon père va regarder “Match of the Day.” History Week 35 (15/06/20 – 19/06/20): The Jack the Ripper case has remained an unsolved mystery since 1888. This unidentified man is accused of killing anywhere from 5 to 90 women in the Whitechapel area of England. Using Source B (‘The Victims’) at the back of this booklet, explain what similarities the core Ripper murders have in common with each other (TOP TIP: Focus on the injuries column). Week 36 (22/06/20 – 26/06/20): Using Source C at the back of this booklet, produce a fact file for each of the victims described. Your fact file should be presented as a table with the same column headings used in Source B (from the previous week’s task). Music Week 35 (15/06/20 – 19/06/20): Choose an advert on TV (make sure it has music in it) and write a description of the music and how it fits the product being advertised. Week 36 (22/06/20 – 26/06/20): Watch a film or parts of a film and write a description of the music used and how it suits the genre of the film, the time the film is set and the storyline. Geography Week 35 (15/06/20 – 19/06/20): What are the different types of volcano? Use pages 42 – 43 of the textbook to answer the following questions: 1. Did you know there were different types of volcano? For both the Shield volcano and Composite cone volcano, complete the following activities: a) Draw and label an accurate diagram. b) Name and describe the type of lava c) Describe what the eruption is like d) Give an example and location 2. Explain how volcanoes are formed at hot spots. 3. What is a supervolcano? 4. What would an eruption of a supervolcano be like? Week 36 (22/06/20 – 26/06/20): Why do most earthquakes occur at convergent plate boundaries? Use pages 48 – 49 of the textbook to answer the following questions: 1. What do the following words mean? a) The focus of an earthquake b) The epicentre of an earthquake c) Shock waves (seismic waves) 2. Which factors can affect the impact of an earthquake? 3. How do we measure earthquakes? 4. What is a tsunami? How do they occur as a result of an earthquake? Computer Science/Creative Media Production Week 35 (15/06/20 – 19/06/20): Over the last 2 weeks, you have started to design a simulation game. Now we need more information about the ‘sprites’ in the game. A sprite is a graphical image that has a specific role or purpose in the game. A sprite can be a main character that is controlled by the player, or other objects that are controlled by the computer. However, a sprite doesn’t have to move – think of the banana skin in Mario Kart, which does not move but will make other sprites spin if they touch it. Your task is to list the sprites that are in your game and do the following: • Describe or draw their appearance • Describe how the sprite is controlled (e.g. by the player with directional keys, or automatically on the computer) • Describe how it interacts with other sprites (e.g. when the Mario touches a mushroom, his speed of movement (velocity) increases and the mushroom is removed from the screen)

Use the following heading in a table layout to help you present your work: Sprite name Sprite Appearance How sprite is controlled How sprite interacts with other sprites

Week 36 (22/06/20 – 26/06/20):

At the start of the game, some or all of the sprites will be on-screen. Use the graph shown here to plot the positions of your sprites.

For example, if I had a spaceship sprite and wanted it to start at the bottom centre of the screen, I would draw or label it at the co-ordinate where x=0 and y=-5. To locate this co-ordinate, simply go across the x-axis to the centre, which is where x=0. Then go down the y-axis and stop 1 square above -6, which is where y=-5.

It may be best to redraw the graph to the size that you require.

Food Technology Week 35 (15/06/20 – 19/06/20): • A big chain supermarket is designing a new fusion multicultural range. Fusion is were different types of multicultural foods are combined. Design 3 different fusion food products that include a type of bread. For example, an Indian and Italian Pizza fusion, naan bread pizza base with chicken tikka and onion bhaji toppings. Write down the name of each dish and use sensory words to describe what it would look like, taste like, smell like, and the texture of each element. As an extension you can draw a picture of the dishes too. • The UK is split into different regions. Each region has food product that originats from there. Try to think of a food product that stereotypically comes from each of the following regions and list them. Scotland, Ireland, Wales, North West England, North East England, South East England, South West England, The Midlands. Week 36 (22/06/20 – 26/06/20): • Street food markets are becoming extremely trendy and popular. Imagine you had your own food stall at a local street food market. What dishes would you sell and from what cuisine? Design 3 street food dishes that you would sell at your stall. Write down the name of each dish and use sensory words to describe what it would look like, taste like, smell like, and the texture of each element. As an extension you can draw a picture of the dishes too. • Food Provenance refers to where food comes from, where it is grown, where it is raised or reared. All food that is available in the UK has a chain that can be followed right to the source of its origin. Why do you think that this is important? Why do we need to know where our food comes from? Why do we need to know exactly each stage in the chain that our food has been, why would this be important? Write a paragraph about why you think food provenance is important. Art Week 35 (15/06/20 – 19/06/20): On your daily walk, collect natural objects you can find (e.g. twigs, stones, leaves, flowers, shells, etc.) and produce a collage on any surface in the style of Andy Goldsworthy. Look at the resource sheet towards the back of this booklet to help you. Week 36 (22/06/20 – 26/06/20): Produce rubbings from your environment using a pencil, crayon or chalk. Aim to create different textures (e.g. leaves, tree trunk, sole of a shoe, pineapple, etc.). The steps needed to make leaf rubbings are: 1. Collect leaves. Collect leaves of various shapes and sizes. ... 2. Position a leaf. Place a leaf with its bottom side facing up. 3. Place paper over the leaf. ... 4. Rub a crayon. ... 5. Rub over the entire leaf. ... 6. Remove the leaf. ... 7. Make more leaf rubbings. ... 8. Overlap the leaf rubbings to create a stunning picture! PE Week 35 (15/06/20 – 19/06/20): Your task is to create a mind map/poster about TRAINING. These are the different training methods you need to know/research: • Continuous training • Fartlek training • Weight/resistance training • Interval training • Plyometric training • Circuit training • Fitness classes – body pump/Aerobics/Pilates/Yoga/ Spinning For each method you should give: 1. A description of what the training involves 2. Some advantages and disadvantages of these methods 3. Which sportsmen/women might use this type of training and why?

Week 36 (22/06/20 – 26/06/20): Your task is to create separate FLASH CARDS for each type of Training from week 35 (7 in total). On your flash cards include descriptions, examples of sportspeople who would use them and 1 disadvantage and 1 advantage of this type of training.

Business Week 35 (15/06/20 – 19/06/20): Jay and Lawrence have been working as information technology technicians in a large organization for 10 years, since they left school. They enjoy their work and are both highly skilled they have attended many courses to make sure their skills are current and up to date. Unfortunately, they do not like working in an office environment and find it really boring. It does not pay too well either.

Both lads are always working on friends’ and families’ computers and are gaining a reputation in the area for being reliable and efficient. They believe they have found a gap in the market for repairing computers in people’s homes. The only problem is they have not completed any research. Jay is sure that they could earn good money through this type of work and both would like to control their own business.

Lawrence believes the only competition would be from a local computer shops that are seen as being expensive and inconvenient.

If Jay and Lawrence did start their own business, they would have to decide whether to set up as a partnership. They could set up as a private limited company and sell shares to raise money. They would need a small van as Lawrence already owns one, however, they have very little money saved up.

Both are wondering if they should delay setting up their business until they have done more planning and saved more money.

1. List 4 entrepreneurial skills would Jay and Lawrence have to possess in order for them to become successful business men? (1 mark) 2. Explain two reasons why Jay and Lawrence would want to start their own business. (4 marks) 3. Explain two ways in which Jay and Lawrence could reduce the risks of setting up their own business. (6 marks)

Week 36 (22/06/20 – 26/06/20): When designing and manufacturing a new product it might not be as easy as you think. Read the information below about James Dyson – founder of Dyson and the successful Dyson Hoover: • James Dyson designed and redesigned his prototype of his new vacuum cleaner over 5,000 times • He could not find the finance he needed in the UK • Started manufacturing in Japan first • Japanese designs liked bright funky colour • Made enough money in Japan to finance outright his UK operations

Your task is to design your own new product (it can be anything you want), explain the features that make your product standout or give it a unique selling point. What price would you charge and why? What potential problems might you encounter?

Andy Goldsworthy Natural Sculptures

Andy Goldsworthy is a British sculptor, photographer and environmentalist. He lives in Scotland. He uses natural materials to make sculptures in sites in and around the UK. He has made them in forests, farms, fields, cities, mountains and more.

Sometimes they last for a long time, other times they last only days. Can you make some natural sculptures like Andy Goldsworthy? You could use: leaves, bark, sticks, mud, flowers, stones, feathers, sand, light, reflections and shadows. He often makes spirals, circles, swirls and arches.

SOURCE C (for History students)

Emma Elizabeth Smith The first victim in the series of Whitechapel Murders was a prostitute by the name of Emma Elizabeth Smith. Smith was attacked on Osbourn Street in Whitechapel on April 3, 1888. Before she died the next day at a London hospital, Smith told authorities that two or three men, one of them a teenager, were responsible for her attack.

Martha Tabram The next victim in the series of Whitechapel Murders was Martha Tabram. Tabram, a prostitute in the East End, was brutally murdered on August 7, 1888. She had been stabbed 39 times, her body found at 3:30am on a landing above the first flight of stairs in the George Yard Buildings of Gunthorpe Streep in Whitechapel.

Some feel that Tabram was the Ripper’s first victim, due to the proximity of the murder in relation to the others, as well as the brutal nature of the crime. However, most experts agree that another individual was responsible for Tabram’s death, and not Jack the Ripper. Tabram’s wound patterns were distinctly different from the Canonical Five, in that she received multiple stab wounds as opposed to being slashed, which is believed to be the Modus Operandi of the Ripper.

Later Whitechapel Murders Following Kelly’s ghastly murder, there were four other women who were killed in the Whitechapel district during that same period, the first of which was Rose Mylett. Mylett was found strangled in Clarke’s Yard on High Street on December 20, 1888. Investigators assessed that her death may have been the result of a drunken stupor, as there were no visible signs of a struggle apparent anywhere on her body or clothing. Even though the inquest deemed it to be a murder, her death in no way resembled a Ripper killing.

The body of Alice McKenzie was found on July 17, 1889, in Castle Alley, Whitechapel. She had suffered a severed carotid artery, along with multiple small cuts and bruises across her body – evident of a struggle. One of the pathologists involved in the investigation dismissed this as a possible Ripper murder, as it did not match with the findings of the three previous Ripper victims he had examined. Writers have also disputed McKenzie as being a victim of Jack the Ripper, but rather of a murderer trying to copy his modus operandi in an attempt to deflect suspicion.

The tenth Whitechapel murder victim was “The Pinchin Street Torso”. The victim was named as such because she was found headless and legless under a railway arch on Pinchin Street, Whitechapel, on September 10, 1889.

Frances Coles was murdered on February 13, 1891. She was found at Swallow Gardens – a passageway beneath a railway arch between Chamber Street and Royal Mint Street, Whitechapel – with her throat slit. Visible wounds on the back of her head suggested that Coles was likely thrown to the ground after having suffered to knife wounds across her throat. Apart from the cuts to her throat, there were no mutilations to her body. A man named James Thomas Sadler, who authorities believed to be Jack the Ripper, was arrested and charged with her murder, but was later discharged due to lack of evidence.
