Learn how to draw Baby Yoda with this easy step by step tutorial, and then place him in on a super cool planet, surrounded by lots of stars.

OK, so you're not imagining things, this is the second Baby Yoda tutorial I have created, but here are the reasons why:

* My first Baby Yoda focuses more on just a simple body. It fills a horizontal page and allows for easy drawing, but some older students might want to add more details. Like a robe that drapes and hands with three fingers.

* This new portrait layout leaves much more vertical space that can be filled with an interesting background.

* The other Yoda is also drawn with markers, and I'd like to show everyone what is also possible with just plain old crayons. No fancy supplies, just good old-fashioned coloring.

Who were the Normans?

The Normans were the next group of people to rule England after the Anglo-Saxons. They built some of our most well-known castles, such as Windsor Castle and the Tower of London.

The Normans came from northern France, and invaded England in 1066 after King Edward the Confessor died without leaving an heir to the throne. They eventually defeated the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings, when King Harold II was killed. The Normans ruled England for about 300 years.

Top 10 facts

The Normans came from northern France, in a region called Normandy.

The Normans invaded England in 1066 because they wanted to have Norman king in England after the Anglo-Saxon king died.

The first Norman king was William the Conqueror, who won the Battle of Hastings in 1066 against the Anglo-Saxons.

While the Normans planned their invasion, the Vikings were also interested in taking over England - they were led by Viking King Harald Hardrada.

William the Conqueror published the Domesday Book, which tells us a lot about the people who lived in England in the 11th century.

The Bayeux Tapestry tells a story in pictures about the Norman invasion of Britain and the Battle of Hastings.

The Bayeux Tapestry also tells us things about Norman life, such as what clothes, armour and even boats looked like.

The Normans built wooden houses covered in a mixture of mud, dung and straw, which kept them warm in the winter.

The Normans also built stone castles - some of these are still standing today!

England in Norman times was ruled by the feudal system.

Timeline

Edward the Confessor died, and Harold II became king.

The Battle of Stamford Bridge took place near York, between the Anglo-Saxons and Viking invaders led by Harald Hardrada

King Harold was killed in the Battle of Hastings, making William the Conqueror the new Norman king

William the Conqueror was crowned at Westminster Abbey, making him King William I.

Henry Bolingbroke took over the throne and became the first king from the house of Lancaster (Henry IV), ending the rule of Norman kings

Did you know?

The first Norman King was William I, but most people know him by the name 'William the Conqueror' because he defeated the Anglo-Saxons in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

After the Normans invaded England and won the Battle of Hastings against the Anglo Saxons, they made a special project to mark the events - the Bayeux Tapestry. It's actually not a tapestry, but a very large embroidery made up of small stitches outlining different pictures on a piece of fabric. The pictures show what happened during the Norman invasion and the Battle of Hastings.

The Normans lived a very similar sort of lifestyle to the Anglo-Saxons, but their houses were a little different. They made them with a wood frame that was covered in 'wattle and daub', which was mud and dung (animal poo!) mixed with straw.

The Normans built some of the first stone castles in England, including Windsor Castle and the Tower of London. They wanted to make sure that they could defend England from any more invaders, and being inside a strong stone castle was a good way to do that.

About

The Normans invaded England because they thought William the Conqueror, who was also the Duke of Normandy, should be king instead of Harold. When King Edward the Confessor died there wasn't anyone else in line to take the throne, so this meant that a few different people thought they should be king. It also meant that 1066, when Edward died, was not a peaceful year.

Besides the Normans, another group of people who wanted to try to take the English throne were the Vikings. The Viking king of Norway, Harald Hardrada, thought he'd have a chance at being king of England because he was related to King Canute the Great. Harald conquered York, but when King Harold II heard this he sent an army up to take York back. The Anglo-Saxons won, but then had to rush back south to fight against William and the Normans! On 14 October 1066 the battle of Hastings was fought and the Anglo-Saxons lost.

The Bayeux Tapestry is an important artefact from the Norman period, and it's currently displayed in Normandy in France. It has 72 pictures of different events during the Norman invasion, and it was made in eight strips that were joined together. This makes it about 70 metres long - almost as long as a football pitch! Some of the last panel is missing so we don't know how long it would have been when it was made in the 11th century. It begins with scenes about Anglo-Saxon King Edward the Confessor, and ends with the death of King Harold in the Battle of Hastings.

When William the Conqueror became king, he established the feudal system. It put everyone into a sort of queue depending on what their place in society was, and explained who they needed to pay money or tribute to in order to have a house, grow food, etc.

The king was at the front of the queue and owned all the land in England. He then gave land to the barons, who could give the king knights and money if he needed it.

The barons were allowed to rent out the land that the king gave them to the knights, who protected and provided for the baron, and went into battle if the barons told them to.

The knights could rent out the land they were given to serfs (also called villeins), who were at the end of the queue. They could never leave their master's manor, and they worked for the knights without getting paid. Serfs pretty much had to do whatever the knight asked - they even had to ask permission if they wanted to get married.

The Domesday Book is an important contribution to history from the Normans. When he first became king, William the Conqueror made a record of how many people lived in England, and what they owned, and had it published as the Domesday Book. He figured out how much tax people owed him from this, which became part of the feudal system of government that people in Norman times lived by. Today, we use the Domesday Book to learn more about the people who lived in Norman times.

Men in Norman times usually wore baggy shirts and trousers with a tunic and cloak over them. Wealthier people would have more decorations and designs on their clothes. Women also dressed differently depending on their rank in society - serfs wore loose-fitting dresses and wimples (a type of hood that fastened under the chin), while wealthier women who didn't work as much wore more fitted dresses with long, flowing sleeves.

Names to know (Norman kings and when they ruled, listed in order):

William I, the Conqueror (king from 1066-1087)
William II, Rufus (king from 1087-1100) - William II was called Rufus (which means 'reddish') because he had a red face, and not because he had red hair
Henry I, Beauclerc (king from 1100-1135) - Henry I was called Beauclerc because he was very well educated - it means 'fine scholar'
Stephen (king from 1135-1154, though Empress Matilda ruled England for a few months in 1141)

Almost 350 years after the Vikings first invaded Wicklow, the Normans arrived in 1169. Dermot MacMurrough, the Irish King of Leinster, invited the first Normans to Ireland.

He had just been driven out of his kingship by a rival Irish king. But Dermot did not have enough soldiers left to win it back. He decided to look for help from King Henry II of England.

Henry agreed to help Dermot. He told Dermot to ask one of his lords, Richard de Clare, to go to Leinster and fight with Dermot. In return for helping him win back his kingdom, Dermot offered Richard de Clare lands in Ireland, his daugther Aoife in marriage and the Lordship of Leinster on Dermot's death.

Richard de Clare accepted these terms. When he first came to Ireland to help Dermot regain his power, he brought an army of Welsh archers to help with the fighting. This is why he became known as Strongbow.

The area on the east coast of Ireland from south Dublin to Wicklow was known as the territory of Ui Briuin Cualann. When MacMurrough died in 1171, Strongbow became the new King of Leinster and took control of this territory. This made him the first of the Norman rulers in Ireland.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
You will need

A jar large enough to fit a chicken bone
A chicken bone - a leg or "drumstick" bone works best
Vinegar

What to do

1. Have a nice chicken dinner and save a bone. Leg bones work best.

2. Rinse off the bone in running water to remove any meat from the bone.
3. Notice how hard the bone is - gently try bending it. Like our bones, chicken bones have a mineral called calcium in them to make them hard.

4.Put the bone into the jar and cover the bone with vinegar. It might be a good idea to put the lid on the jar or cover it - let it sit for 3 days

5. After 3 days remove the bone. It should feel different. Now can rinse it off and try bending it again. Is it really a rubber bone?

How does it work?

So what happened? What is so special about vinegar that it can make a hard bone squishy? Vinegar is considered a mild acid, but it is strong enough to dissolve away the calcium in the bone. Once the calcium is dissolved, there is nothing to keep the bone hard - all that is left is the soft bone tissue. Now you know why your mom is always trying to get you to drink milk - the calcium in milk goes to our bones to make our bones stronger. With some effort and you can really get the bone to bend.

MAKE IT AN EXPERIMENT

The project above is a DEMONSTRATION. To make it a true experiment, you can try to answer these questions:

1. Does the length of time the bone is in vinegar affect how much the bone bends?

2. Do smaller size bones become "bendy" sooner?

3. Do different types of vinegar affect how bendy bones become ?

Practice your multiplication tables

Here you can find additional information about practicing multiplication tables at primary school. The 1 times table, 2 times table, 3 times table, 4 times table, 5 times table and 10 times table are the first times tables to be learned. The 6 times table, 7 times table, 8 times table, 9 times table, 11 times table, 12 times table and of course all the tables in random order are the next step.

Not every child finds it easy to learn all the tables, so it is a good idea to keep on practicing them regularly after you learned them. There are a few tricks which make it easier to learn the tables and continue to master them, such as putting the smallest number first, which makes it easier for many children to answer correctly. For example 4 x 9 is easier to work out than 9 x 4. Switching the multiplication sum around makes it easier to answer. What also often helps is to use the tables you know well for answering the sums in the more difficult tables. One example of this is 6 x 7, which is often said to be tricky. If you do 5 x 7 first and then add 1 x 7 it is suddenly easier to answer. You can do this the other way round too. For instance with 4 x 7 you can do 5 x 7 first then subtract 1 x 7.

Why do we put so much effort into learning tables? Well, the multiplication tables keep on coming up in the next primary school years and even when you're at secondary school. You don't see them as tables, but as part of bigger mathematical problems. And it isn't only at school, but in your everyday life it is useful to know your times tables well so you can quickly work things out, for instance when you are buying or selling vegetables on the market.

The 5-step plan

Learn the times tables with the 5-step plan. We developed an innovative five step plan to help pupils learn the times tables in an effective and efficient way. This method has been tested at several schools and is recommended by teachers.
The steps are:

Step 1a: View, read aloud and repeat. To get familiar with the table.

Step 1b: Fill in your times tables answers in sequence and check if you got them all right.

Step 2: Drag the correct answers to the questions.

Step 3: Fill in your answers for the mixed questions and check if you got them all right.

Step 4: Multiple choice questions will help you to improve by looking at the questions in a different way.

Step 5: Proof your knowledge and get the diploma.

When you finished the 5 steps you can play the memory game or exercise with the worksheet. Other way to train more are with the tempo test, the 1 minute test or to play the times tables games.

We advise to exercise daily for 15 minutes for maximum result.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I learn my times tables fast?
Learn them in chunks. Start with the easy times tables like 10, 2, and 5. Use methods like skip counting, adding and exercising daily for 15 minutes for a maximum long-term result.

What is the hardest times table in the world?
The 7 times table is the hardest to learn because 7 is a prime number, and so the last digit does not repeat itself until 10 times 7. The hardest times table question is 6 times 8.

Which times table is the easiest?
The 10 times table is one of the easiest to learn. For a start, numbers in the 10 times table always end in a 0. And then the 5 and the 2 multiplication tables are also one of the easiest.

Spread your nature finds in the space between the two containers. Individual berries will float so it's best to add sprigs of berries or wedge them in between other foliage. Once you've finished, slowly pour water into the space left between the containers until the water is about 1-2cm below the top of the larger container. Water expands as it freezes, so if you fill it too full the water will overflow as it turns to ice. If your small container is lightweight you may need to place a stone or pebble inside it so it doesn't float up and free the leaves at the bottom. You can also use some sticky tape to hold the smaller container in place. If any of your nature finds are now sticking out above the water, try to squash them down a bit.

You can then leave your container outside overnight in weather that is freezing or below freezing. However, if the weather is mild, you can put it in your freezer.

When your lantern has frozen and you are ready to use it, tip it upside down and tap it until comes out. If it is hard to get out, pour some warm water on the outside of your large container to release the ice. Then turn your lantern over and pull out the small container. Pouring a small amount of warm water in your small container can also help get it free.

When it gets dark, put a small tea light inside your ice lantern, light it, and enjoy the glow of your ice lantern! The light from the candle should make beautiful colours through your nature finds.

SINGAPORE - Three months after the World Health Organisation declared Covid-19 a pandemic on March 11, humanitarian aid organisation Save The Children has launched a new initiative, getting 15 children from 15 different countries to write a poem on their experiences of life under lockdown.

According to the United Nations Children's Fund, an estimated 1.6 billion children were forced out of school at the height of the pandemic. These poems express the children's feelings of fear and loneliness but also optimism and solidarity.

Eun Jun Kang, 11, South Korea

When there wasn't coronavirus, I could have hang out with friends,

go to school and crowded places.

Now it is upside down.

I don't go outside anymore as confirmed cases rise.

That makes me stay at home alone without meeting or playing with friends.

We may not have summer vacation with the school's opening delayed.

I wish to go back in the days once the crisis ends

Zharick, 15, Columbia

When we are so close, from being so far away from those we love

When love becomes a priority and only until yesterday, it was part of a further delay

When giving you a kiss is what I want most, but I can't. I mustn't.

When I embrace you my soul cries out and only yesterday I had no time.

When going out for a walk in the park was the super plan and always an excuse.

And today, when I have no more time and no more excuses I can only say goodbye.

So, please, I'm asking you to stay home.

Gael Alberto, 17, Mexico

Let's talk about this pandemic - very serious news that came into the world.

What was our life like before all this?

You have wondered how drastically our thinking changed after the first rumour; for many, it is just one rumour more, for others, it is the fall of something grave.

The things we did, the places we went, without asking ourselves what will happen tomorrow.

Sometimes there is no explanation for why things happen. We know why, but under such circumstances, the human being is not programmed to obey 100%.

It's the law of life, and it's here we break the chain. Above all, I see sadness, nostalgia, madness everywhere; but nevertheless I see a united Mexico because there are more people who do good than those who do evil, more people who do their part for society.

What worries me most is not going out anymore, not seeing my loved ones, and taking hold of the life I used to have - even though sometimes I didn't value it as I should have.

Despite the circumstances, I'm still standing. I do what I like from home, whether it is the same experience or not.

Even though I miss going out to have fun, I know that the day will come when they will tell us the news that we will all be free,

the day when we will all carry with us a great lesson:

That time is now, today. Let's take action, let's save one more life, even if we don't know them. We will join forces so that all this comes to pass, we will come out of this problem, and we will rise up to be better, because we are people with aspirations, goals, dreams, all together for the world"

Aisha, 16, Nigeria

Over their parents' corpses in caskets

I am not going to judge you - confirmed cases and death this information is not easily digested by a child at all

The whole world you shacked and scattered and shattered

and we were moved and touched and locked down

I will not judge you corona as I still don't understand your purpose

Please go, go away corona, so I can hear the bells in the schools again

So I can give my friends a bone crushing hug again, so I can have my life back again.

Mary, 17, South Sudan

Coronavirus, coronavirus.

Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, look around the world.

Many people have died because of coronavirus.

It is a really dangerous disease.

It has no mercy.

It can kill a person in a minute.

Be really serious. Always wash your hands with clean water and soap.

Avoid shaking hands.

Avoid being in gathering places.

Stop kissing and hugging.

Oh people,

Our life has become meaningless.

It has made people hopeless.

It has made people lifeless.

It has brought heartache among the people.

What a dangerous disease you are.

Dear South Sudanese

Let us gather our hands together

to fight coronavirus.

Mariam, 14, Gaza

It is a virus that made the world like the city of the dead

After we were playing with friends, the streets became empty.

We used go to a school to gain knowledge with my classmates.

But now we are sitting in our homes on our own

It is a virus that has deprived us from work and from the family's livelihood

A virus that if it infects a person, it weakens his strength

He would be deprived of seeing his family, loved ones and friends

His immunity fades if he cannot fight it

Ramadan came and we could not go to the mosques

Ramadan that's full of generosity comes without us being able to go to the mosques

We hope this pandemic will end and return to our lives

We return to our school, mosque, and work and see our loved ones

Eid will come and we will pray the Eid prayer in the mosque and see our loved ones.

Fouad, 17, Yemen

It came to my mind... A saying that's full of wonder... About what happened to time because of coronavirus.

For me, I swear, since an axe went in, it wandered and moved around; it gave the world a bunch of heart-wrenching lessons.

Worries increased for grown-ups and children, the pandemic increased and the worries made me bitter.

A fatal pandemic, has no mercy on its way it cuts bonds, blocks people's closeness, not to go to them, so are they.

Maya, 14, Jordan

Stay at home, please. Today the whole world is in distress.

Everyone advises in horror and fear. Wash your hands, sanitise yourself, don't infect us.

No guests, no visitors. We are alone at home

Corona stole our life.

Keep your distance, keep your distance and we did.

We became a few memories. Whenever they pass our imagination we smile.

Where's the school? Where are the classes? And my friends, and the teacher asking us about our homework.

Empty and sad streets. And the play grounds are as if they're asking about us.

Corona, tomorrow you will see. Our dreams, our awareness and our will bring us victory over you.

Lincoln, 11, United Kingdom

Life was always fast-paced, we never slowed down,

Until everything stopped when Corona came to town

Now all is quiet and there's peace all around,

We've looked in our hearts and kindness we've found.

We learn now with mum, this is a new feature,

But we can't wait to get back to our teacher.

I miss Sea Cadets, school, my friends and my dad,

I miss sharing the fun times and that makes me sad.

We've had social distancing picnics, social distancing walks,

Social distancing hugs and social distancing talks.

I'm looking forward to getting away,

The beach, the hotel and a perfect holiday.

When it is? I'll throw my arms open wide,

And shout to the world, WE CAN ALL GO OUTSIDE!

Don't give up hope, the end is in sight,

If we all stick together, we'll all win this fight.

Lavannya, 17, United States

Five letters

Two Numbers

And one deadly microbe

Brought the whole world to a standstill

and locked us in our home.

I didn't know I'd miss school

or the endless work

But this self-isolation

really is cruel.

They say history books will record this

as the time everyone stayed home

As if we'll need something

to help us remember this.

I miss being with my best friend

and I miss her hugs.

I hope 'Stay at Home' doesn't extend.

I dream of a day

where masks aren't needed.

A world without fear of infection.

I wish this virus

will soon be defeated.

Safiyya, 9, Canada

Governments tell us, "Stay Home, Stay Safe" because of this virus.

I try to do my part but staying at home 24/7 is not that easy. It is safe, but not easy at all.

Oh, how I miss my friends, our silliness, our long conversations.

I even miss our dramatic fights.

Oh, how I miss my freedom. The freedom to be a child, to just run and play...

Oh, how I miss going out to the malls, the parks, meeting friends, visiting my family.

But then I think of the people who have no choice but to go out to work:

Doctors, nurses, cashiers, soldiers, and many others...

They risk their lives so we all can stay safe and get the resources we need.

I thank them from the bottom of my heart!

I think about the people suffering, so many dying...

People who are gone forever from their loved ones.

They cry and weep but there is no use...

Those who were loved are never coming back.

I think about the homeless and the hungry.

They already suffer every day, yet, now they are hit harder than us.

Why are they hit hard? I don't know...

All I know is that we need to change this.

Then I say to myself, I can do this! I can do my part! I can stay home to stop the spread!

I can raise money for those who need it the most!

I can do this to stop the spread and you can too!

Leonardo, 14, Italy

This quarantine makes me think,

while I just want to drown in those thoughts

that today more than yesterday, remind me of its purity

its euphoria

I seem to be on the other side, dreaming of my freedom.

Sisters Furugh, 10, and Aysha, 11, Bosnia and Herzegovina

All you need to do is wash your hands and sanitise everything wherever you go.

People weren't wearing masks, so they started to die and that was when the quarantine began.

Until this day we are still in quarantine.

Thanks to doctors we are still safe and sound.

Estefany, 15, Peru

A virus that must unite us

Before: outings, friends, the movies, parties, dreams and goals.

Today: frustration, confinement, helplessness.

One day, you go out and enjoy what the streets can offer.

On the next, they ask you to stay home "for your own sake".

The reason: a virus no one can see, but that has definitely made us feel so many things.

The days pass.

They pass like the news, each time sadder and more worrying.

Some say: "look at the bright side: time to reflect, time to share with your family; time for everything'.

Some of us find that difficult to understand.

We say "my goals, my dreams, school, graduation..."

here we have to put our resilience to the test.

I dream that we will get out of this

I dream that you will stop your indifference.

Without a doubt, social poverty is what invades us

and intellectual poverty what sinks us.

Oh, what helplessness I feel

This helplessness, this crisis, this pandemic, is strong

But we will be even stronger if we unite.

We have thousands of infected

Thousands, like the will to keep fighting on.

Thousands, like the hope of getting out of this

Brother, join me, give me your hand and let's face this

Because together we are stronger.

Gradi, 14, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Once, we used to live well.

Meeting with my loved ones,

our families and my friends.

Today, we are forced to remain confined to our home.

No schools, no churches, no meetings.

Everyone is obliged to wear a mask and respect the prevention tips in order to fight against this disease which is called coronavirus.
