NEW POST

From hip-hop to opera, I’m interested in all kinds of music. It’s so cool!!! But sometimes, I get tired of always listening to the same instruments, so this week I’ve been reading about (and listening to) some of the strangest musical inventions in the world. I hope you enjoy it!

Jim’s

Big Blog

The world’s strangest musical instruments!

The Great Stalacpipe Organ

Inside most caves there are stalactites – they’re the rocks that slowly grow down from the ceiling of caves. In one enormous cave in the U.S.A. there’s an instrument that plays these spectacular stalactites. It’s huge! It works by hitting the stalactites with soft hammers. It was invented by Leland W Sprinkle in 1956. Some people say that Leland had the idea when his son hit his head in the cave and it made a beautiful noise. I guess that his son wasn’t happy about that!

Pikasso Guitar

Some people say the Singing Ringing Tree is a musical instrument, others say that it’s a piece of art, and some people think that it’s a tree! It was designed by Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu, and when the wind blows through the tree, the pipes make a noise that can sound like someone singing. The tree is on a hill in Lancashire in the North of England. Jenny and I are excited about visiting it soon! Good for people who are keen on listening to music when they go hiking. Not good for birds that want a place to make their homes there!

As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p U Co

This strange instrument was made when a jazz musician called Pat Metheny asked for a guitar with as many strings as possible. The Pikasso guitar is very different from a normal guitar: it has 42 strings (instead of six) and it’s got four necks (instead of one)! The first Pikasso guitar was built in 1984 and was very difficult to make – in fact, it took around 1,000 hours. That’s about two years!!!

Language practice 1

Grammar look: adjectives with prepositions ‘The Pikasso guitar is very different from a normal guitar.’ ‘It’s perfect for people who are keen on listening to music when they go hiking!’ ‘It’s not good for birds that want a place to make their homes there!’

‘Good for people who are bored of playing normal guitars.’ ‘Jenny and I are excited about visiting it soon!’ ‘I’m interested in all kinds of music.’

1 Some adjectives are often followed by prepositions. The preposition is followed by a noun or an infinitive / a gerund. 2 Adjectives with similar meanings are often followed by the same / a different preposition (e.g. frightened of, scared of, afraid of, terrified of). 3 Some adjectives can be followed by one / more than one preposition, or no preposition (e.g. I’m annoyed with you. / I’m annoyed about the football result. / Yes, I am annoyed.).

The concert

Monday

What a great weekend! Ash stayed at my house on Saturday night. We spent ages lip synching to pop music videos on YouTube. Mum and Dad kept shouting at the bottom of the stairs, J ‘ ulie! Turn the music down!’ Ash said we should enter the lip-synching competition at the leisure centre on Saturday, but I don’t want to do it. I’ve never performed on stage before, I’d be far too nervous.

As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p U Co

Tuesday

At school Ash said that we needed a name for our band. I told her that we didn’t really have a band, but she wouldn’t stop talking about it. She thinks we should be Jasha because it uses both our names. I couldn’t think of a better name so I think we’re going to be Jasha.

Wednesday

AGHHHHHH! I am SO angry with Ash right now. She’s entered J ‘ asha’ into the lip-synching competition! I didn’t think she was serious about doing it! She was so keen on thinking of a name for the band because we need one to enter the competition! Well, I’m NOT going to do it.

Thursday

ss se

Ash apologised – she said she was very sorry that she entered the competition without telling me. She was trying to be charming, but I told her I was still feeling angry. I didn’t want to talk to her today, but she was so excited about the competition and talked about it all the way through lunch. There are ten bands and each band does three songs. But it gets worse. Much worse. The bands don’t lip synch their last song, they sing it.

Text type: a diary

1 Friday

I’ve told Ash I’ll do the concert. Was that the right thing to do? She hugged me and shouted, ‘We’re going to win!’ When I got home, I told Mum that I was going to do the concert after all.

I thought she would be pleased, but she wishes we were doing something different – Mozart or something. She said, ‘I just prefer classical music, darling, and so does your father. But good luck with the competition.’ Tomorrow’s the big day.

As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p U Co Sunday

Yesterday was the best day of my life! Ash came round in the morning for our final practice. We got to the leisure centre at three o’clock, but I was too nervous to go in. I said, ‘I can’t do it.’ Ash held my hands in hers, looked straight at me, and said, ‘You can do it, Julie. You can do it, I can do it, we can do it.’

ss se

And we went in and we did it! I don’t remember much about being on stage. It happened so quickly. The lights were bright. The music started. And we did our songs. Everyone from school was shouting, J ‘ asha! Jasha!’ When it was time for the last song – the one we had to sing – my mouth went dry, but I sang ... and we came third in the competition! Ash has texted me the same message twenty times today: Next time we’ll win. You know, I think she might be right.

2 Role play a conversation. Imagine you are Julie and Ash. Student A You are Ash. Tell Julie that you have entered the competition. You are very excited.

Student B You are Julie. You are angry. Tell Ash why you are upset and how you feel. Social and emotional skill: self-confidence

As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p U Co

udwig Van Beethoven was a classical pianist and composer in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany in December 1770. His father and grandfather were musicians and wanted him to be a famous child musician like Mozart. When Beethoven was only five years old, his father taught him to play the piano, violin and viola. He played his first public performance when he was only seven. Beethoven left school to study music when he was ten years old and composed his first piece of music two years later.

He moved to Vienna in Austria to continue studying and composing. People loved his music in Vienna but then Beethoven began to go deaf. He continued to compose music but he could no longer perform it. Although Beethoven could not hear his music, people say that he wrote his best compositions such as The Ninth Symphony when he was completely deaf.

3 Read the text again. Write B (Beethoven) or M (Mozart) or both. 1

He was born in Bonn, Germany.

He wrote his first symphony when he was eight years old.

He started to play music when he was very young.

He lived in Vienna.

He had no money when he died.

He had no children.

He left his own country to study music.

A This summer I went on a camel-riding trip with my family.

We went to Kenya, in Africa – and we rode the camels to a different campsite every day. We slept in tents and could hear all the animals around us calling through the night. I slept OK but my mum slept the least :(. People drink less water than camels. Camels can drink about 135 litres in 15 minutes (that’s about 600 glasses!). Then they can live for seven months without water. That’s amazing, isn’t it!? CoolCat11

Countries around the world celebrate different festivals every year. This month we are looking at three of those festivals.

Holi Festival, London by Emlyn Richardson

Text type: A magazine article

In London, The Colour Run celebrates the festival too. It’s an unforgettable day! You need a ticket to take part. Go online to find out how to get your ticket. You won’t regret it!

In India they celebrate it by throwing coloured powder and splashing water over each other. The streets explode with colour.

Runners have powder paint thrown over them as they pass by! Hindus believe that the coloured paint makes everyone look the same, so that people forget their differences.

his traditional Hindu festival celebrates the beginning of spring. It’s a festival of colour and it’s mainly celebrated in India and Nepal, but is also celebrated in many other places, like Europe and North America, where a lot of Hindu people live. That includes London, where five percent of the population is Hindu.

2 The Monkey Buffet by Daw Cunningham

hailand, which has a population of sixty-seven million, is one of the 49 countries which make up the continent of Asia. Thailand has more wild monkeys per square mile than nearly any country in the world. Monkeys are one of the greatest tourist attractions in Thailand – so much so that they have their own festival, and it’s called The Monkey Buffet. The local people believe that monkeys bring good luck, and they may be right, because The Monkey Buffet attracts thousands of tourists every year!

As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p U Co

On 25th November people come to the festival from all over the world. They dress up as monkeys, and they bring more than 4,000 kilos of food and drinks with them … for the monkeys! They lay the food out on large tables.

Then they wait for the monkeys to come! And they do … hundreds of them … to enjoy the fruit and desserts, while the visitors take photographs and do monkey dances to celebrate them! It's an extraodinary sight.

The Annual Kite Festival by Francisco Pérez García

very year in the small town of Sumpango in Guatemala, people celebrate the Kite Festival on 1st November. Thousands of people from all over Guatemala, as well as visitors from other countries, travel to Sumpango for the festival.

The kites are all made by people living in the area. They work all year to have their kites ready for the festival. The kites are very big (sometimes twenty metres in diameter) and very colourful.

What is happening in our oceans? or many years scientists have been worried about our oceans. Oceans do an excellent job of controlling the temperature on Earth, but climate change means that the oceans are taking in the extra heat from the planet. So as the planet gets warmer, so do the oceans. If the oceans get too warm, many plants and animals that live in them might die.

The oceans are getting warmer because the Earth is getting warmer.

Coral reefs produce carbon dioxide.

Algae feed the reef and animals that live there.

Algae die when it’s colder than 29°C.

Coral is usually white.

An example of this is the coral reefs. Coral reef ecosystems are important for lots of reasons. They remove and recycle carbon dioxide and they also protect the land from bad weather. Lots of animals like sea turtles, sharks and many kinds of ﬁsh live on the reef and without it, many of these plants and animals would die. orals get their amazing colours from tiny algae that live in them. The most important thing that algae do is make food for the coral and also for many animals living in the coral reef. But, when the water gets too warm (more than 29°C) the algae stop making food and die. This means that the coral loses its colour and turns white. This is called ‘bleaching’. So, we need to look after our coral reefs.

The ocean helps control the Earth’s temperature.

MY BLOG

NEW POST

Jenny and I have been shopping online! We saw some awesome stuff and some awful stuff. The problem is that we couldn’t agree what was stupid and what was great! Here are a few of the things we argued about the most.

1 The ice-cream cone that turns your ice cream

for you!

Jim: This looks great! I can imagine showing it to all my friends – I know they’d all think it was really cool. It’s also awesome because it keeps your hands clean when you’re eating an ice cream. And it’s less than £10, which I think is a bargain. AWESOME!

Jim: Babies are already cute, right? And they look even cuter when they’re wearing these floor-cleaning clothes! It’s also great because the baby will learn to help at home from a young age. AWESOME! Jenny: Babies don’t need to learn to work hard; they need to sleep and play! I don’t think you could use those baby clothes to clean your car either! AWFUL!

As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p U Co

Jenny: I’ve always thought ice-cream cones are the most delicious part. And how lazy do you have to be to not want to turn your own ice cream? Jim says that £10 isn’t too expensive, but normal ice-cream cones only cost a few pence! Worst of all, when you’ve finished eating the ice cream, you need to wash your cone! AWFUL!

3 A baby floor-cleaner

2 The bike that you walk to ride

Jenny: The shop assistant said that people who are scared of riding normal bikes should buy this bike. It’s electric too, so even if you walk quite slowly you can get to the school or to the shops easily. It’s brilliant! AWESOME!

Jim: If you want to walk to the shops, you don’t need a £2,000 bicycle, you just need shoes! I think this bike’s silly because it’s a very complicated solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. Do I fancy buying one? Not at all! AWFUL!

1 Look at Jim and

Jenny: It often rains where I live and I hate it when I get wet feet! My socks take hours to dry and my feet start smelling too. I’d love a pair of shoe umbrellas that help to keep my feet dry! AWESOME! Jim: These honestly make no sense! Firstly, you could use a normal umbrella to cover your shoes. Secondly, they fail to cover all of your shoes – they only cover half of each one. Finally, they look really, really awful! AWFUL!

1 What do you think happens to your money after you spend it? Where does it go? Who gets it next?

Where’s Wanda?

1.30

One day Dad walked into my bedroom very excited. ‘Look at this, Tom,’ he said. ‘The new five-pound note!’ He put the new, clean note into my hand. ‘It might be valuable one day. Look at the serial number: 30111874.’ I looked at it carefully. There was a picture of the Queen and of Churchill.

As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p U Co

‘I don’t understand why it’s so special?’ I said. He pointed to the serial number. ‘Look! Churchill’s birthdate is the same as the serial number. Collecting banknotes was my hobby when I was your age! Anyway, I thought you’d like to keep it,’ he said, smiling. I put the banknote into my backpack and forgot about it. Many months later Dad said, ‘Tom, they’re buying and selling five-pound notes with special serial numbers online. Do you want to sell yours?’

ss se

Oh no! I thought. How was I going to tell him I didn’t have it any more? And that I spent it on a second-hand video game. I knew I had to tell him, so I took a deep breath and told him very quickly. ‘Don’t worry, we can find it!’ he said calmly. ‘What?’ I asked. He explained that nowadays with special software we could probably find its location. ‘How?’ I asked. He explained that he wrote the question: Where’s Wanda? on the banknote and anyone who knew the website might log in and write the serial number on it. This meant we could locate it. ‘Great! Let’s try to find it!’ I said.

Text type: a story

After opening the site, I typed in our address and the serial number. Immediately little flags of banknotes appeared all over a map of the UK. There was also a flag in Paris, France. ‘What next, Dad?’ I asked excitedly. ‘We’ll read the comments people posted and then we can follow its journey,’ he said.

We discovered that after spending a few days in the second-hand game shop it appeared a few miles from here. Then the note disappeared for a couple of weeks and showed up in Paris. Now it was back in London and just a few miles from here. ‘That’s awesome, Dad!’ I said. ‘Yes, just imagine how far a banknote travels in its lifetime!’ he replied.

As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p U Co

I felt bad. I had to get the banknote back. I looked again at the name of the new owner. Could this be the same Mr Evans at our local shop? I decided to find out the next day.

‘Hello, Mr Evans. Do you have a five-pound banknote on the Where’s Wanda site?’ ‘Yes, why?’ he asked. ‘It’s kind of special to me,’ I replied. ‘If it’s so special, why did you spend it?’ he asked. I explained what happened.

‘OK, but what can you give me for it?’ he asked. I offered my new video game. ‘But I can get more money for it if I sell it online,’ he said. ‘How about doing a paper round for me all this month and I’ll give it to you?’ ‘Done!’ I said.

2 In pairs, talk about the questions. Why was Tom’s dad excited about the five-pound note?

How do you think Tom felt when his dad asked about the banknote? Why?

Was the response from Tom’s dad good or bad? Why?

Why did Tom want the banknote again?

Why do you think Tom started to collect banknotes?

ss se

A month later, when I got the banknote I ran home and told my dad. He was very happy. And I was too. Five years later I still have the same banknote. I don’t think I’ll ever spend or sell it because it was the first in my very big collection of special banknotes.

To solve this problem, people in China started using shells to buy things instead of bartering. Meanwhile, in the west people started to use something that was strong and wouldn’t break easily. They decided to use gold, but gold was heavy and difficult to carry. In 200 AD, coins were made. Coins were small and they were weighed and stamped so everybody knew how much they were worth. Carrying all that gold around was worrying, so people left it with a goldsmith who kept it safe. The goldsmith gave the owner a receipt for the gold and these receipts were the first banknotes.

Money continued to change. In the 1950s credit cards were invented. This meant we didn’t need to carry coins or notes to pay. Now, lots of people don’t carry cash at all and they pay with their cards or even their phone! Most of the money in the world today is invisible. Who knows what will happen in the future?

After security, there are usually duty-free shops. You can also change money, but check the exchange rates because it can be expensive.

You can travel to the airport by train, bus or car. Most airports have an arrivals area (for people flying into the airport) and a departures area (for people flying out of the airport).

Next, you’ll need to check in. At the check-in desk, someone will take your big bags to put on the plane and give you your boarding pass.
