Hi Girls, I hope you are all well and that you got through last week’s work without too much difficulty. As I mentioned last week, we will have a theme for each week until the end of the school year. This week’s theme is Art, Music and Drama. Have a go at the suggested activities below and enjoy yourselves. Hopefully you will discover a talent that you did not know you had:) Art Activity 1 This week we are going to draw/paint/colour our own interpretation of the Northern Lights. There are links below to help you but you can also just use your imagination:) What are Northern Lights? The official name for the Northern Lights is Aurora Borealis. They light up the sky in the Northern Hemisphere above the magnetic North Pole. The Northern Lights are a natural light display in the sky that is created by the Solar Wind as it is passing Earth. Viewing lights near North Pole People living close enough to the magnetic North Pole have watch the Northern Lights for thousands of years. The Ancient Chinese and Greek people wrote about the Northern Lights. The Eskimo's and Scandinavian people have told oral stories about the Northern Lights for hundreds of years. Location of Northern lights The Northern Lights are located from 80 km to 640 km (50 to 400 miles) above the Earth. They can last for several hours filling the sky with glowing and dancing curtains of green, pink, yellow and orange lights. Green is the most common aurora color and red is the rarest. Most of the time the Auroras last about 30 minutes. Activity 2 |
