Good Morning Year 5! 🙂

“Quote of the Day” – Handwriting

Martin Luther King Jr (1929 – 1968)

Martin Luther King was a Christian minister and one of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement in America that fought racism in the 1950s and 60s. He fought for justice for African-Americans and his work changed history and the lives of billions of people. He was a gifted orator, which means that he wrote amazing speeches and inspired people when he spoke. For this reason, it is very difficult to choose a quote because he wrote so much that was wise and profound.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

Today’s question: What are the four words that begin Martin Luther King Junior’s famous speech? It is perhaps the most famous speech in world history.

Floodland – The need for Change

Martin Luther King Jr. spoke a lot about justice and having the strength do the right thing. These are qualities we really need if we’re going to protect our planet and solve the problem of climate change.

Look at the key on the side of the map. What does it tell us? The ‘m’ stand for metres.

You are going to watch a video on climate change. Before you watch, write down these key words in your red book  leaving a line between each one to give you space to write. As you listen, have a go at writing what each word or phrase means. Don’t forget you can pause the video. The video ends with a question; have a go at answering it.

1. Climate
2. CO2
3. Atmosphere
4. The Carbon Cycle
5. The Greenhouse Effect
6. Fossil Fuels
7. Extreme weather
