Read the passage and then answer the questions.
Ice Skating HistoryIt is thought that ice skating has existed for over 3000 years, when people in the south of Finland strapped sharpened bone to the bottom of their feet, held in place with leather straps. True skating didn’t emerge until steel blades with sharpened edges were used.
Figure skating began in the 1850s, when skaters began investigating with different spins and jumps on ice. It was invented by an American called Jackson Haines. The first men’s World Figure Skating Championships took place on February 9, 1896, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Ice skating was the first winter sport included in the Olympics in 1908, where Ulrich Salchow gained a gold medal in the men’s singles.
SkatesThe blades themselves have a groove on the bottom, creating two edges – inside and outside. The forward part of the blade, the toe-rake, is saw-toothed, and is used for jumps and spins on the toes. The boots are tightly laced over the ankle to help the foot from rolling in the boot.
Outside edges Inside edges Flat edge

Tips for Learning How to SkateTo move forward on ice skates, you need to take small steps with your toes pointing outwards until you begin to glide. To stop, Push your feet apart while skating and stick one skate out sideways. Keep your knees bent and your weight forward, hold out your arms in front of you and open them wide to help you stay balanced.

Jumps in Figure SkatingThe Salchow is a figure skating jump, with a takeoff from a back, inside edge of one foot. The rotation in the air is made in the direction of the curve of the take-off edge. The landing is made on the back, outside edge of the foot opposite the one used for take-off. It was invented by a Swedish skater, Ulrich Salchow.
The Lutz is a figure skating jump, named after Alois Lutz, an Austrian skater who performed it in 1913. It is a toe pick-assisted jump with an entrance from a back outside edge and landing on the back outside edge of the opposite foot.
A Walley jump is a full rotation jump in figure skating where the skater jumps off the backward inside edge, makes one full rotation in the air, and then lands on the backward outside edge of the same foot. It was named after an American skater called Nate Walley.

An Audience with Sir Isaac Newton Play Script
An Audience with Sir Isaac Newton
Scene 1: Lights up. Narrator: The year is 1705, and Sir Isaac Newton is visiting a university to talk about one of his amazing discoveries, the Theory of Gravity. He is standing on a podium in front of an audience of students.
Professor: Welcome to our school, Mr Newton.
Sir Isaac Newton: (crossly) It’s Sir Isaac Newton, actually. I was recently knighted by the Queen.
Professor: (embarrassedly) I’m so sorry, Sir. Umm, I mean Sir Newton.
Sir Isaac Newton: (haughtily) Proceed with your questions.
Professor coughs slightly to clear his throat.
Professor: (admiringly) I have heard of your work on the law of motion and calculus, but could you tell us about your theory of gravity and how you discovered it?
Sir Isaac Newton: (slightly pompously) I was having a quiet moment, sitting beneath the apple tree in my mother’s garden, pondering the workings of the universe, when suddenly, an apple fell perpendicularly from the tree. Not only did it fall from the tree, but it fell on to my head; quite a shock it was too.
Professor: (underwhelmed) Really? You discovered that apples fall from trees? I think we already knew that.
Audience: (sniggering)
Sir Isaac Newton: (voice getting louder as he speaks) But why did the apple fall from the tree and land on the ground? Why did it not go upwards from the tree, or for that matter, why did it not go sideways?
Professor: (interestingly) Please enlighten us, Sir.

Name: Class:
Sir Isaac Newton: That’s when I formulated my hypothesis. The Earth must have a force in the centre that pulls it there: it pulls it straight down. So, the apple attracts the Earth and the Earth attracts the apple.
There is some movement from the back of the stage, and someone enters stage left.
Student: (shouting) What is this force you talk of?
Sir Isaac Newton: (dramatically) Gravity, my dear boy, gravity! Without gravity, people would float o� into space. Life would not be sustainable without gravity!
Narrator: Sir Isaac Newton moves away from the podium to the front of the stage to deliver his poem. He reads his poem with passion by using intonation and increases in volume as the poem proceeds.
Sir Isaac Newton:
An object in motion wants to stay in motion, An object in rest wants to stay in rest,The theory of gravity is my notion, With a brilliant mind I have been blessed. Gravity a�ects the currents of the ocean, Its tides that ebb and flow, From stars in the sky and the Moon’s motion, To the bouncing ball you throw.
If I have seen further, I’d say,It is by standing on the shoulders of giants, Previous scientists of their day, Kepler and Galileo, great Masters of Science.
I am only a child playing on the beach, Vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me, Limitless knowledge the world must teach, Of the law of motion and the force of gravity.
Lights down.

ART – AUTOMATIC DRAWING
What does automatic drawing mean?
Automatic drawing is one of the major contributions of the Surrealist movement to the Modern and Contemporary Art. ... Automatic drawing can be described as “expressing the subconscious.” It is implied that one should draw randomly across the paper, without any rational thinking. What was the goal of automatic drawing? In automatic drawing, the hand is allowed to move "randomly" across the paper. In applying chance and accident to mark-making, drawing is to a large extent freed of rational control. The work of Joan Miro- Automatic art

GEOGRAPHY- THE LAKE DISTRICT
Where is the Lake District?
The Lake District is a national park and World Heritage Site in North West England.
It is home to Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England, and Wastwater, the deepest lake.
It is popular with both day visitors and holidaymakers because of its beautiful mountains and lakes.
What is it like in the Lake District?
The landscapes of the Lake District have been created over millions and millions of years.
Rocks such as sandstone, limestone and granite gradually formed in layers.
Next, tectonic plates created volcanoes and also pushed the rock up to create high mountains.
Two million years ago, icy glaciers covered the mountains and as the glaciers slowly crept down the mountains, they picked up pieces of rock, which eroded the mountains and created valleys.
When the ice melted, these valleys filled up with the melted water and created deep lakes and small crevices made by the ice at the tops of mountains filled with water to create tarns.
The Lake District is home to lots of plants and animals and also people, who live in towns such as Keswick and Windermere.
Tourism is an important industry in the Lake District, with over 12 million visitors every year who come to walk, cycle, run, boat or just to look at the amazing scenery.
TASK
Write a short newspaper or magazine article.
It needs to:
give information about the Lake District persuade people to visit the area
HISTORY- WHO WERE THE VIKINGS?
Viking Food and Cooking
The Vikings were good at shaping
things from wood. Their crockery
and tools were made using a
machine called a ‘lathe’.
Viking bread was made from rye or barley flour. They used
milk mostly to make cheese and butter, then drank the
buttermilk left over.
Vikings ate meat from farm
animals, and from wild animals
that they hunted. They also
collected foods such as berries
and nuts from nearby
woodlands. They cooked meat in a big
stew-pot over the fire, or
roasted it on an iron spit. Fish
and meat were smoked or dried
to preserve it (to make it last
longer).
At a feast, guests drank ale and mead (a strong drink
made from honey). People drank out of wooden cups or
drinking horns (made from cow-horns). Feasts were held
to mark funerals and seasonal festivals, such as midwinter.
Some feasts lasted over a week!

ART EXCITING PAINTINGS
In the early 1960s, Andy Warhol began to experiment with his screen-printing in the style of advertisements.
He took mass-produced images from American popular culture, such as Campbell's soup tins and Coca Cola bottles, and began his own style of pop art.
In 1962, he created his series portraits of Marilyn Monroe, and other celebrities included Jackie Kennedy and Elvis Presley.
By using bright colours and repetition, Warhol gets you to look at the subject of his art in a new way.
Andy Warhol was born in Pennsylvania, USA.. As a child, Andy Warhol had a serious illness
While he was ill, Warhol drew, listened to the radio and collected pictures of movie stars.
He moved to New York City to begin a career in magazine illustration and advertising.
He began using silk screen printmaking to make images. This involves pushing ink through a
screen to create an image. It can be used to make lots of copies of the same image.
Warhol used this printmaking technique to make artworks that used a repeated image from
popular culture, often in different colours.
He made pictures of soup cans and coke bottles. He made paintings of American celebrities
such as Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley.
POP ART
TASK- DRAW IMMAGE USING POP ART TECHNIQUES
Draw an outline to simplify and separate the main areas of dark
and light in the image. It is best to keep the outline strong and
simple without too much detail.
Trace and transfer your outline drawing onto a fresh sheet of
paper. You can do this by using tracing paper.
Shade in the dark areas of your drawing to re-establish the
basic tones of the original portrait. This will help you when it
comes to selecting appropriate tones, colors, patterns and
textures for your image.
Finally, draw a square grid over the image. This will help you
transfer your drawing section by section to any scale that you
require. On completion you can erase the grid lines.
Your drawing is now ready to use as a template to produce a
range of Pop Art Portraits using color, tone, pattern and texture
as illustrated in our examples below.
