Friday

Writing -This is linked to last Friday’s work

Have another read of the story:

The Myth of Pandora’s Box

Are you nosy? Do you like secrets? Have you ever done something that you’ve been warned not to,

just to find out a secret? All through time there have been stories about people being told not to

open doors, cupboards, gates and all sorts of other things, and in many of the stories the people

just didn’t listen. One person who did not listen is Pandora. Her story is from Ancient Greece,

where her nosiness changed the world forever!

Not hundreds but thousands of years ago, in ancient Greece, there lived two brothers called

Epimetheus and Prometheus. Although they lived in a world where the gods were in charge, they

liked nothing more than to annoy the gods. One day, Zeus, a particularly powerful god decided to

teach them a lesson.

Zeus ordered the gods to create a beautiful woman. Her name was Pandora and she was to marry

Epimetheus. As a wedding present, Zeus gave Pandora a beautiful box but there was one special

condition; she was never to open it!

All day Pandora’s husband Epimetheus was out working. All day all she could think about was

what was in the box. Pandora could not understand why Zeus would give her a box that she could

not open. It made no sense to her. Pandora was bored and lonely and her curiosity became

unbearable.

One day, when she was sure that Epimetheus was out annoying the gods, Pandora searched for

the key to open the box.

“I know it’s here somewhere,” she muttered to herself as she opened cupboards and drawers. There

it was, high on a shelf in their bedroom! With shaking hands, Pandora slid the key into the lock

and turned it.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and slowly, with trembling hands, opened the lid of the

box, imagining what could be inside: rubies as red as the blazing sunset, jewel encrusted gowns,

piles of gold coins. But there were no coins or jewellery, no gowns or gems, for all at once every

evil and spite, every sadness and misery flew out. Like a swarm of insects, they fled the house and

infested the earth with heartache and sorrow.

Pandora slammed the lid shut and turned the key. “What have I done?” she sobbed, holding her

head in her hands. Sometime later, Pandora noticed a fluttering sound coming from the box, as if

something was trapped inside. Terrified, she pressed her ear to the box. “Let me out,” a small voice

pleaded gently, “I mean you no harm.”

Once again, with shaking hands, Pandora unlocked the box and opened the lid. A beautiful

butterfly of hope fluttered out of the box, for although Pandora had released pain and suffering

into the world, she had also allowed hope to follow them.

Topic: History – Dinosaurs

museum-map/dinosaurs.html) and see what facts you can find out about

what you know and what you can see.

1. What is happening in this photograph?

2. What time of year could it be?

3. Where do you think the boy might be?

4. How do you think the boy feels? Explain your answer.

Add around 6 table spoons in your water and Stir for 5 minutes 6. Now place another egg in a glass of salt water 7. Watch what happens to both eggs. 8. Now get a third glass and fill it half full with the salty water and half full of

tap water. 9. Put the egg from the salty glass into the new mixture. What happens? 10. Now record your findings below

Topic: PSHE

SpaceX founder, Elon Musk, has a dream of providing the whole world with high speed internet using satellites in the sky. Mr Musk recently announced on Twitter that the firm’s Starlink service will be available to certain locations in six months. The project aims to have the devices form a constellation around the planet from a distance of 200 miles to 700 miles above the surface and transmit data to stations and customers on the ground. Things to talk about at home… Did you see the Starlink satellites in the last week of April? Imagine you saw them but didn’t know what they were, what might you have thought they could be?

Do you think having satellites around the world to enable internet access everywhere is a good idea? Do you think that anyone should be allowed to send things like satellites into space? Talk about why.

Look at this week’s picture.
