What do the Butler children learn in Israel?Write a half page summary of chapter 2.To complete today’s activity you need to read chapter two and extract (take out) the important informationModel for chapter one:Chapter 1: The BookArtemis and Butler are in Ho Chi Minh City (previously Saigon) in Vietnam to meet Nguyen. Butler is a bodyguard and is very well armed. Nguyen is leading them to a healer in the city. The healer is a very small woman who drinks rice wine. Living under a fire escape, she does not like the light. When Artemis speaks to her, she answers in English. He offers her half a bottle of whiskey. As she reaches out to grab it, he notices she has mottled green skin. She drinks the whole bottle and then offers to heal Artemis’s toothache. Unknown to the woman, he tells her he is healthy but wants her book. When she tells him to go to a library, he informs her that he is aware she is a fairy. Full of anger, she threatens to kill him with her magic, but he laughs at her, as she no longer has any power left. Artemis gives her options: he can leave without the book but she will be dead within a day (he has put holy water in the whiskey bottle and it will kill her) or the second option is to lend him the book for thirty minutes, and he will then return her magic. In his possession are two syringes with him. The first contains spring water from a fairy well beneath the Ring of Tara, which will neutralise the holy water the other is a man-made virus which regenerates her liver and removes all traces of alcohol from her system. She agrees to the second option. Artemis injects her with the spring water and she lends him a golden book the size of a matchbox. Butler photographs all the pages using a digital camera and emails it back to Fowl Manor in Dublin. Carefully, he administers the second dose.On the Heathrow connection from Bangkok, Artemis is translating the pages from the book. Butler wonders why Artemis did not leave the fairy to die. Artemis does not want the People to be suspicious. With confidence, he also tells Butler he put an amnesiac in the second injection and she would not remember anything. Butler thinks Artemis is the greatest genius in the world.Today is a day of planning for extended writing on Thursday and Friday.

We learn that Artemis tends to isolate himself completely from anyone wishing to be his friend. However, Artemis alo appears to have a strong bond and friendship with Butler, almost as if Butler is his best friend. He is cold towards people he encounters, appearing to lack sympathy and empathy.11:30-12:00Break Exercise Stretch Chat Snack12:00-12:30ReadingComplete at least 20 minutes of independent reading.Select an activity to complete every day: Select 2 characters from your book and compare them. Think about their personality, appearance and behaviour. Pick 2 characters you like, write a short letter from one to the other. Describe a setting from your book using 3 different senses.What genre is your book (comedy, thriller, action…)?

Design a different ending to the storyPick a paragraph and try to edit it using more ambitious vocabulary and year 5 writing techniques SPaGUploaded on Seesaw.Afternoons:During the afternoons you should complete a range of activities linked to other curriculum subjects. This week we have assigned: 1 x R.E. task1 x History task1 x Science task56766379522800R.E.: The BeatitudesThe Beatitudes are a set of teachings by Jesus. They are intended to guide your behaviour.Whenever He spoke, a large crowd usually gathered. More and more people began to listen to Jesus. One day, Jesus took His disciples to a quiet mountainside. He sat down and began to teach. Read the Gospel on the right that shares the teaching. There is a PowerPoint on Seesaw that explains each Beatitude in more detail.Task One:This week you are going to write your own modern version of the Beatitudes which show how they could be used to shape the attitudes and lives of Christians today. The Eight BeatitudesBlessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.ScienceHuman life cycle: lesson 2In mammals, we sometimes refer to the gestation period. This shows how long it takes before the unborn baby (the foetus) is ready to be born. It takes longer for some animals to fully grow. Most humans take around 9 months to give birth. Some quicker, but some slower. Of course, every birth is different, so we usually talk about the average length of time it takes. Find the gestation period (in days) of these animals and create a bar graph to show their length. Horse Tiger A domestic (house) dog Rhinoceros A domestic (house) cat Hippopotamus Find 1 more mammal Extension: As you’ll see, mammals all have different gestation periods. Why do you think they vary in length? What could be an advantage of a long or short gestation period? History - The Ancient Greeks: You may be familiar with a marathon: a long-distance race of 26 miles. But a marathon is all thanks to one Ancient Greek war between the mighty Athens, and the invading Persians. Watch the video or see the PowerPoint on seesaw: 1: Imagine you are Pheidippides (the man who ran between the city states, pronounced f-eye-dip-i-dees). What would you have said to the Spartans to get them to help you? How would you have made them look past their distrust of Athenians to fight along-side you? You can write or record your answer in any way you like. Task 2:There is a lot we don’t know about history, and historians have to make educated guesses using evidence. Look at the questions below and pick one. Using your own knowledge so far of Ancient Greeks and other civilisations, can you come up with a sensible guess? We learned that the Spartans and Athenians didn’t get along very well. Why would the Spartans ever agree to help the Athenians?Why would the Persians want to invade Ancient Greece? Why would Persia attack mighty Athens first? Look at the map and think about what would have happened if they had won. ................
