Warner Bros Studio Tour – Part 1 Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter is unlike any other attraction you have ever

visited. You are walking onto the actual set where three young actors became Harry, Ron and Hermione,

where Harry was placed into Gryffindor by the Sorting Hat and Ron received his howler from his mum.

Surrounded by costumes with tables heaving with prop food and with candles magically dangling in the air,

there is so much to see.

Housed at Warner Bros. Studios near London, a vast collection of props, models and sets fill this interactive

experience. It’s a treasure trove of all things to do with Harry Potter, and it shows the incredible work done

to bring the books of J.K. Rowling to the screen.

The Studio Tour is a three-hour adventure into the heart of the Harry Potter films, from his room under the stairs, to the cosy Gryffindor common room and the Potions classroom. I was blown away by the attention to detail here, including the colourful bottles of spell-inducing ingredients that filled the shelves and

blackened cauldrons magically stirring themselves.

TASK: Draw this table in your book and put down your ideas after reading this first text.

What do you think about the Harry Potter Studio Tour?

Give some reasons why you would like to go on a

Hogwarts studio tour.

List the things you would most like to see

What else would you like to find out?

WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ_FW0rQS0k

TASK: Go back to your table and add to your ideas after watching this persuasive advert.

EXTRA CHALLENGE: You could, if you want to explore the Studio Tour website and add even more notes to your table.

Connected Curriculum Menu Week 4

Focus: Geography – Mountains, Volcanoes and Earthquakes

To understand how mountains and volcanoes are formed.

To know why earthquakes happen.

To develop key vocabulary abouot earthquakes, volcanoes and Mountains.

Video Introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9ty-ta1wyI&safe=active

Challenge 1: Mountains

Read through the information on this

website to learn how mountains are

formed.

http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/mo

untains/types.htm

and watch this video about the formation

of mountains and mountain ranges.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r826YZV

r-fQ

Mount Everest is one of the natural wonders

of the world. It is the Earth’s highest

mountain and is located in the Himalayan

mountain range in Asia. Climbing Everest is

particularly dangerous because the climate

changes all the time.

Find out about Sir Edmund Hillary who first

conquered the mountain in 1953.

https://www.ducksters.com/biography/explo

rers/edmund_hillary.php

https://kids.britannica.com/kids/article/Edm

und-Hillary/353248

Now choose how you can show what you

know:

Make a poster explaining how

mountains are formed.

Craete your own video or animation

showing how mountains are formed.

Write a diary entry as Sir Edmund

Hillary on his expedition.

Write a fact file about Mount Everest.

Challenge 1: Earthquakes

Use the information sheets included in your

work pack to find out why Earthquakes

happen and where in the world they occur.

What was the world’s largest earthquake?

How can you survive an earthquake? What is

it like to experience an earthquake? How do

you measure an Earthquake?

Now watch this video to find out more:

Now you know all about Earthquakes,

choose how you want to show what you

know, you could:

Make an earthquake survival guide to

tell people what they should do in

the event of an Earthquake.

Make a poster about Britain’s

Earthquakes.

Create a presentation all about

Earthquakes – include facts,

information, pictures and videos.

Create a structure and test whether

or not it could withstand an

earthquake by shaking it – what is the

best material/construction method to

choose?

Draw a world map showing the

earth’s tectonic plates and mark the

location of the strongest

earthquakes.

Challenge 2: Volcanoes

Watch this video all about how volcanoes are

formed and why they erupt:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jxeh-

yAXek&safe=active

Look at this cross-section of a volcano:

about volcanoes and why they erupt, choose

how you want to show what you know, you

could:

Create a powerpoint all about the

world’s active volcanoes.

Write a diary entry about living

through ha volcano eruption.

Build a cross-section of a volcano to

show how it erupts.

Create a video news report about a

recent eruption, you could interview

your family and get them to pretend

they were there.

Create your own model volcano –

you could even use one of these

science activities to make it really

explode!

Aim

• Statement 1 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

• Statement 2 • Sub statement

Success Criteria

Aim • Describe and understand key aspects of physical geography in the

context of earthquakes.

• I can tell you where earthquakes happen.

• I can explain why earthquakes happen.

• I can tell you how to keep safe in an earthquake.

• I can compare the strength of earthquakes.

How Do Tectonic Plates Move? Use the two pieces of paper you have been given.

Can you remember the different ways you can move the plates around?

Rubbing together Towards each other Away from each other

This kind of movement causes earthquakes.

Why Do Earthquakes Happen?

Earthquakes can cause a lot of damage because they make the ground shake!

• Things can fall off shelves.

• Pictures can fall off walls.

• Furniture can move.

• Trees and telegraph poles might sway.

• Roads can be damaged.

• Cracks might appear in the ground.

• Buildings can be damaged or destroyed.

Where Do Earthquakes Occur? Look at this map of the world. Toggle the buttons to show tectonic plate

boundaries and earthquake hotspots.

What do you notice about

where earthquakes

happen?

Compare the earthquake map to the tectonic plates map. Are

there any similarities? show tectonic

plate boundaries hide tectonic

hotspots hide earthquake

What Should You Do?

Drop, Cover and Hold Duck under a strong table or desk. Cover your head and neck with your arms. Stay away from windows.

Stay Put Shelter in place. Whether you’re in a car, in bed, or in a public place. Do not try to run out of the building during strong shaking, wait until the shaking stops.

Stay Calm Keep calm. Make safe choices for yourself and those around you.

How Strong Is It? There are two main ways to measure the power of an earthquake.

Can you sort out the different strengths of the Mercalli scale into the right order?

Machines called seismographs measure the power of an earthquake at its epicentre on a scale called the Richter scale. Another measure is the Mercalli scale, and this is based on people’s observations during an earthquake.

Did You Remember What to Do?

Drop, Cover and Hold Duck under a strong table or desk. Cover your head and neck with your arms. Stay away from windows.

Stay Put Shelter in place. Whether you’re in a car, in bed, or in a public place. Do not try to run out of the building during strong shaking, wait until the shaking stops.

Stay Calm Keep calm. Make safe choices for yourself and those around you.

Did You Remember What to Do?

• How did you feel when you heard the noise?

• Would you feel the same if you were in a real earthquake?

• How long did our earthquake last?

Comparing Earthquakes

I Felt by no-one.

II Felt by very few people. Hanging objects may swing.

III Felt by many but they don’t realise it is an earthquake.

IV Felt indoors by most people. Vibrations similar to a lorry hitting a building.

V Felt by nearly everyone. Sleeping people may be woken. Trees and telegraph poles sway.

VI Felt by all. People run outside. Furniture moves. Slight damage to property.

VII Felt by all. People run outside. Moderate damage to buildings

VIII Specially designed buildings damaged, others collapse.

IX All buildings damaged. Cracks appear in ground.

X Many buildings destroyed. Ground is badly cracked.

XI Almost all buildings destroyed. Wide cracks in the ground. Water, gas and electric out of action.

XII Total destruction. Waves seen on the ground.
