If you haven’t had a chance to log in yet we would love you to be able to use your logins and show us some of the work that you are doing at home. They are both easy platforms to access and use. We continue to miss seeing you in school but it’s great that we are now able to have some contact with you via Classdojo and Purple Mash. This timetable gives you a rough outline of how a day works at school. You could use this as a guide to when you use our resources to support you at home.

You will find the activity in your 2Dos list. Spelling skills This spelling activity will help you to practise some of the homophones from the above activity. You look at the word first before having a go at spelling the word yourself using the letters provided. You will find the activity in your 2Dos list. Take a photo of your work once it’s completed and share it with us on Classdojo. Your child could read this to themselves or they can have it read to them. They may need a little support with reading the questions as well which is encouraged. Share your answers from the reading with us on Classdojo by taking a photo of your work so we can see how you got on with it. We would now like you to do some more work on the Queen and her family. There is going to be some information about the different places were the Queen lives or spends time because she has more than one residence. Read the information with a family member and talk about the things that you have learnt. You will then find different activities relating to The Queen’s residences throughout the remainder of this pack. Windsor Castle • Windsor Castle is located in the county of Berkshire, England. It is one of the royal residences and it is the largest inhabited castle in the world. • The oldest parts of Windsor Castle were built by the Normans following the victory of William the Conqueror in the Battle of Hasting in 1066. The original castle was made of wood and built in the motte-and-bailey style. The location of the castle meant that it could watch over the River Thames and Windsor Forest (a royal hunting ground). • Henry I was the first monarch to use Windsor Castle as a home and it is during his reign that the wooden keep and walls were replaced with stone. • Windsor Castle is the headquarters of the Order of the Garter (a fellowship of knights founded by Henry III in 1348). • Queen Victoria and Prince Albert made Windsor Castle their main place of residence. Following Albert’s death, Queen Victoria was sometimes referred to as the ‘Widow of Windsor’. • During World War 2, the windows of Windsor Castle were blacked out, many of the most valuable works of art were moved away, and the royal bedrooms were strengthened in case the castle was bombed during The Blitz. The royal family slept in Windsor Castle during WW2, but this was a secret. The public believed that they were spending the nights in Buckingham Palace. • In 1992 a massive fire took place in Windsor Castle. Over 100 rooms were damaged by either fire or the water used to extinguish the fire. The cost of Windsor Castle’s restoration was nearly £40 million. Balmoral Castle Balmoral Castle is a royal residence in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It was purchased by Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband, in 1848. Victoria and Albert paid £30,000 for full ownership of the house in 1852. Queen Victoria laid the foundation stone in 1853, signed a parchment recording the date, and placed it in the hole prepared for the stone. Today, Balmoral is owned privately by the royal family, and is one of Queen Elizabeth II's favourite summer retreats. Sandringham House Sandringham is best known as the location of Sandringham House and its estate, a favoured holiday home of Queen Elizabeth II and several of her predecessors. Near to Sandringham house is the Royal Stud, a stud farm that houses many of the royal horses. The village was the birthplace of Diana, Princess of Wales. Writing Activity Now that you have read all the information on some of the different places where The Queen lives or spends time we would like you to use this information to create a poster or information leaflet. You may wish to focus on just one of her residences or you may want to write about all three. We would like you to try and share at least 3 facts with us about the place/places you choose to write about. You can present your information in different ways. • You could write up your information in your exercise book and then share your work with us on Classdojo. • You could create a fact sheet or poster about the residences on a blank piece of paper and then share your work with us on Classdojo. • Or you could create a fact sheet / poster on Purple Mash on the activity that we have set up for you in your 2Dos list. When you are completing this activity remember to write in clear sentences, using correct punctuation. Try to include interesting adjectives and adverbs. Try to use conjunctions to join your ideas together. When you have finished re-read your work to check that it all makes sense. Now that you have matched and ordered the numbers take a photo of your work and share it with us on Classdojo. Below are some questions linked to number and place value. Answer the questions on the sheets and then take a photo of your work and share it with us on Classdojo. As well as the above activities for you to work on there are some maths games and activities set up for you on Purple Mash in your 2Do’s list. You can only use each card once for each of the different totals. Now that you have tried hard to solve this problem share your work with us on Classdojo with a photo. Art/DT Activity We are now going to think back to the different places where The Queen lives and likes to spend time. We would like you to create one of these buildings. You can do this in several ways. • You could draw a picture of one of the buildings.

We've pulled together a two day itinerary to help you make the most of your 'stage and screen' trip to Aberdeenshire: Portsoy - Whisky Galore! (2016) Portsoy is a popular village thanks to its vibrant trademark boat festival and picturesque 17th century harbour, but that's not all. In 2016, Whisky Galore! was filmed on location in Portsoy. The film tells the true story of an incident that took place on the island of Eriskay when the SS Politician ran aground with a cargo including 28,000 cases of malt whisky starring James Cosmo and Eddie Izzard. Pennan - Whisky Galore! (2016) & Local Hero (1983) Whisky Galore! also filmed along the coastline in Pennan too and this wasn't the first time Pennan has shot to fame.

    NEWS RELEASE FOURTH STREET AT CONSTITUTION AVENUE NW WASHINGTON DC 20565 . 737-4215/842-6353 EXHBITION FACT SHEET Title; THE TREASURE HOUSES OF BRITAIN: FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OF PRIVATE PATRONAGE AND ART COLLECTING Patrons: Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales Dates; November 3, 1985 through March 16, 1986, exactly one week later than previously announced. (This exhibition will not travel. Loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late summer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits; This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration v\n.th the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.

  • Mrs Brown by Jeremy Brock Ext. the Grounds Of
    MRS BROWN BY JEREMY BROCK EXT. THE GROUNDS OF WINDSOR CASTLE, FOREST - NIGHT Begin on black. The sound of rain driving into trees. Something wipes frame and we are suddenly hurtling through a forest on the shoulders of a wild-eyed, kilted JOHN BROWN. Drenched hair streaming, head swivelling left and right, as he searches the lightening-dark. A crack to his left. He spins round, raises his pistol, smacks past saplings and plunges on. EXT. THE GROUNDS OF WINDSOR CASTLE, FOREST - NIGHT Close-up on BROWN as he bangs against a tree and heaves for air. A face in its fifties, mad-fierce eyes, handsome, bruised lips, liverish. He goes on searching the dark. Stops. Listens through the rain. A beat. Thinking he hears a faint thump in the distance, he swings round and races on. EXT. THE GROUNDS OF WINDSOR CASTLE, FOREST - NIGHT BROWN tears through the trees, pistol raised at full arm's length, breath coming harder and harder. But even now there's a ghost grace, a born hunter's grace. He leaps fallen branches, swerves through turns in the path, eyes forward, never stumbling once. EXT. THE GROUNDS OF WINDSOR CASTLE, FOREST - NIGHT BROWN bursts into a clearing, breaks to the centre and stops. With his pistol raised, he turns one full slow circle. His eyes take in every swerve and kick of the wildly swaying trees. There's a crack and a branch snaps behind him. He spins round, bellows deep from his heart: BROWN God save the Queen!! And fires. Nothing happens. The trees go on swaying, the storm goes on screaming and BROWN just stands there, staring into empty space.
