The Story of Macbeth

The clouds looked down at the petrifying castle. Moonlight shone through the enormous windows, casting horrifying shadows. Rain thudded onto the castle’s roof and a bitter draught crept through the holes in the brickworkInside the imposing castle walls, was Lady Macbethpacing around in the lonely room. The elegant young lady took a seat on the chair and began to tap her long pale fingers on the ice-cold stone wall, awaiting her husband’s return. There was then a blood-curdling shriek. Then there was an immense thud on the door…  

Macbeth came pounding into the bare roomtrembling with fear, whilst holding two daggers in his handswhich were covered in blood.   

“This is a sorry sight,” mumbled the king to be.  

“A foolish thought, to say a sorry sight.” hissed Lady Macbeth.  

Macbeths hands started to shake.   

“Why did you bring these daggers from the place?” complained Lady Macbeth.  

“Go! Carry them and smear the grooms with blood.”  

Macbeth looked up at her and told her, “I’ll go no more!” 

Lady Macbeth cried, “Infirm of purpose!” 

“There’s one did in ‘s sleep, and one cried murder!” stammered Macbeth. 

Wandering around the room, Lady Macbeth began to grip her husband’s shaking shoulders.  

“One cried God bless us! And Amen the other,” the murderer explained to his wife. Her long black hair swayed in the wind, which was coming from the window. 

Outside, the trees in the distance were bending in the horrific storm. Brushing past the dazzling candle, Lady Macbeth snatched the daggers from his hands.

This week , I would like you to look into French art. A bit of fun! It is called Impressionism, a very famous painter called Monet was part of that group of artists, the impressionists. Have a look at the website and try to create a piece of art. You might even be able to save it and share it with the rest of the class when you come back. If not, try to learn as much as you can about it and enjoy exploring the Tate gallery website for children.

Here is a website to start your research:

Bonjour!

Hope that you are all well and keeping your minds busy.

 

Last week you had to research “La Chandeleur”. I hope you were able to find all the answers to the questions. This week, I would like you to complete TWO different activities.

  1. Look at the Power Point (“Les crepes”) I have attached and use it to create 3 sentences telling me what you favourite pancakes are. You can use “et” (and) and “avec” (with) to make your sentences longer. Write them or type them.

Example: Sur mes crêpes j’aime le chocolat

Sur mes crêpes j’aime du citron et du sucre avec des fraises.

  1. Create a poster about “La Chandeleur” using the answers to your questions. You can write an explanation in English about the French tradition and illustrate your poster by adding picture, labels in French and colours. Use the recipe and the PPT I have added to help you with adding words in French. You can include one of your sentences on your poster.Les crepes PPT

Keep your poster to bring it in or post a picture of it so that we can have some on display in the classroom when we get back together.

I have also included a recipe in French for you to make pancakes at home if you can.

Bonne Chance (Good luck!) and enjoy the pancakes!

Keep safe and well.

Bonjour!

Hope that you are all well and keeping your minds busy.

 

This week I would like you to research a French tradition. (It is also a tradition in England but there might be a few differences and you can compare the two. )

This tradition is called “La Chandeleur”. So I would like you to answer the following questions about it in order for you to discover what it is…

  • What day and date is La Chandeleur celebrated?
  • Where does the word come from?
  • Why is it celebrated?
  • What do the French do on that day?
  • What do they eat on that day?
  • Is there another pancake day in France? What is it called? What is the date for that event?

When you have found the answers, watch the short animation about “La chandeleur” here and see how much you can understand. Make notes in English about what you understood.

https://www.all-languages.org.uk/resources/la-chandeleur/ https://www.1jour1actu.com/info-animee/pourquoi-mange-t-on-des-crepes-a-la-chandeleur/

Keep safe and well.

Enjoy researching!

Bonne Chance! (Good luck!)
