'Saying Goodbye to Grandpa's Garden' and 'How to Build an Igloo' by Lari Don.

Sarah Higgins reads 'Saying Goodbye to Grandpa's Garden'. Four cousins spend one last day playing their favourite games together in their grandfather's garden before he moves house. They can't take the garden with them, but they realise there's a way to take some of the memories of the day with them.

'How to Build an Igloo', is read by Alastair G Bruce. After a huge snowfall, three children create a cosy snowy house in the garden. As darkness falls, they're called in for their tea and have to stop what they're doing ... And the next morning, they discover a surprise inside the igloo.

7. Into the arena

Primary Music KS2: Romans - BBC Teachaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudioaudiodocument

The song explores Roman entertainments...including the gladiators.

Into the arena,
Mask and mime and drama, 
Audience all round there, 
Waiting for the show. 
Tragedy and comedy
And poetry performed there, 
Into the arena, go!

Into the arena,
Chariots and horses,
Teams of different colours 
Red, white, blue and green. 
Round the Circus Maximus 
They race around in danger, 
Who's the fastest to be seen?

Into the arena,
Cruelty and horror, 
Animals displayed there 
Hunted till they die, 
Antelope and elephant 
And lion, bear and leopard, 
Into the arena, why?

Into the arena,
Gladiators fighting,
Locked in mortal combat 
Fighting to the death.
Wrestling with weaponry
And nets and shields and armour, 
Struggling for their final breath.

Into the arena,
Mask and mime and drama,
Audience all round there, 
Waiting for the show. 
Tragedy and comedy
And poetry performed there, 
Into the arena, go!

Into the arena, go..! 
Into the arena, go..!. 
Into the arena, go..! 
Into the arena, go..!
