'Finding Spring' and 'Beach Adventure' by Janis Mackay.

Angela Darcy reads 'Finding Spring', about a girl and her mum on a hunt to look for signs that spring has arrived, from snowdrops and birds building nests, to happy cyclists with their sleeves rolled up!

The second story, 'Beach Adventure', is about a trip to the seaside, the fun of building with sand and shells ... and the power of the imagination. Read by Donald Pirie.

An abridgement of Michael Morpurgo’s much-loved novel 'War Horse'. Joey is a young horse who is initially looked after by Albert on his father's farm and is later sold to the army at the outbreak of WW1. Joey is trained as a cavalry horse, then sent to the Western Front where he experiences the horrors of the War. He is captured by the Germans and put to work hauling ambulance wagons and gun carriages, until finally he is wounded and becomes stranded in no-man’s-land between the enemy lines. But Albert has also joined the army...and is hoping to find Joey.

6. Roman gods and goddesses

Primary Music KS2: Romans - BBC Teachaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudiodocument

Exploring the pantheon of Roman gods and goddesses.

(Chorus:)
Roman gods and goddesses, 
Dancing round in space, 
Moving round, like planets, 
Each one in their place, 
Worship them in temples, 
Plenty (just in case!) 
Roman gods and goddesses, 
Meet them, face to face!

Here comes mighty Jupiter, 
Thundering along,
Keep a watch for Mars
As he sings his war-like song. 
On the hunt, Diana, 
Goddess of the Moon, 
Spreading love is Venus, 
Bringing Springtime soon.

(Chorus:)
Roman gods and goddesses... (etc)

Neptune, God of Water, 
Deep in ocean blue, 
God of Sport, Apollo, 
Music-maker too.
Ceres bringing fruitfulness 
And lots of food to eat,
Then Mercury, the Messenger, 
With wings upon his feet.

(Chorus:)
Roman Gods and Goddesses... (etc)

Janus looks out both ways - 
Brings the New Year in, 
Minerva inspires poetry, 
Art and medicine.
Roman gods and goddesses, 
It’s hard to keep a score, 
With Saturn, Cupid, Juno... 
Yes and plenty more!

(Chorus:)
Roman Gods and Goddesses... (etc)
