Topic – Royal competition
The Duchess Of Cambridge and the National Portrait Gallery have launched a project to find a photographic portrait, taken during these extraordinary times, which responds to one of the following themes:
- Helpers and Heroes
- Your New Normal
- Acts of Kindness
One hundred shortlisted portraits will feature in a virtual exhibition on the Gallery’s website and a selection of images will also be shown across the UK later in the year.
The project is completely free and open to all ages and abilities. Images must involve people, and can be captured on phones or cameras. Each image will be assessed on the emotion and experience it conveys rather than its photographic quality or technical expertise. The closing date for submissions is the 18 June 2020.

Topic
We had started singing this song in our singing lessons before school closed. The words are below. Read along and sing the song. It made us feel powerful, strong and confident when we sang it. We hope it makes you feel that way too.
Fight Song by Rachel Platten
Like a small boat, on the ocean
Sending big waves, into motion
Like how a single word, can make a heart open
I might only have one chance but I can make an explosionAnd all those things I didn’t say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?This is my fight song, take back my life song
Prove I’m alright song, my power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong, I’ll play my fight song
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes, ‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in meLosing friends and I’m chasing sleep
Everybody’s worried about me
In too deep
Say I’m in too deep (in too deep)
And it’s been two years I miss my home
But there’s a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believeAnd all those things I didn’t say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?This is my fight song, take back my life song
Prove I’m alright song, my power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong, I’ll play my fight song
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes, ‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in meA lot of fight left in me
Like a small boat
On the ocean
I might only have one chance
But I can make an explosionThis is my fight song, take back my life song
Prove I’m alright song, my power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong, I’ll play my fight song
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes, ‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in meKnow I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
