Health and Wellbeing Grid 2 Task

16 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a FAB Easter break 🙂

Today I thought I would focus my blog post on a nice easy relaxing choice from our new grid since it launches today and you might just be getting to familiarise yourself with it.

I chose  the Health and Wellbeing task, this term we were going to be working cooperatively with Rev Will Stalder and the Methlick community to celebrate VE Day by creating artistic pieces of words related to VE Day. We decided as a staff to choose this as one of our home learning activities.

The Primary 7 word is Resolution luckily I randomly had a bucket of toy soldiers and thought I could display my words using that HOWEVER half way through I realised I wouldn’t have enough toy soldiers 🤔

Then I used some problem solving skills I made the first five letters of the word took a picture of it and then made the second 5 letters took a picture and merged them together using a Picture collage app.

I can’t wait to see what you all do for your class word.

Please share your ideas below and send any completed ones to your teacher.

Don’t Say ‘Said’!

14 Comments

Good morning, everyone!

Welcome back to the Blog.  It seems very strange not to be taking in the lines as usual on the first day of term.  I also miss hearing your holiday news, but you can leave a message here or on Seesaw to let me know what you’ve been up to (or write it in your journal).

Anyway, I hope you had a lovely break enjoying the sunshine over the holidays and are all ready for some more learning activities in Term 4.

To kick-start the term, I have a Literacy challenge for you.  You may already have seen that one of the reading tasks in this week’s Spicy Literacy Grid involves finding different words in your reading book that the author uses instead of ‘said’.

Click on my Sway to find out more …

P.S.   House points will be awarded to the pupil with the highest total (I will have to verify this once we’re back at school)!

P.P.S. Maybe some of the teachers/parents would like to have a go at this as well?

Buenos días Methlick School!

I will give you the answer at the end of the week. Let’s see who gets closer to the answer!

Today Martes 21 we will be learning some colours in Spanish. You will be able to choose from Mild -Spicy -Hot activities.

Easter Word Challenge

28 Comments

Here’s another Easter Literacy challenge for everyone.  How many words you can make from ‘HAPPY EASTER’?

Read the instructions in the Sway below, and challenge other family members to take part.  I’d recommend doing this over a number of days so that you can keep adding to your total.

Don’t forget to write the list of words in your Learning Journals, and leave a comment for me here, to let me know how many you have managed to find.   I’m going to give it a go and I challenge all the teachers and Mrs Fraser to take part as well!

There are different rules for Mild, Spicy and Hot, so click on the Sway to find out more.

Mr Reid’s Music Journey – Happy Easter

Hello everyone,

Thank you for joining me on my Music Journey over the last two weeks and all the best for the Easter Holidays.

Reflection

What has been your highlight from the last two weeks? For me, it has definitely been interacting with so many of you on a daily basis. I know that all of the teachers have thoroughly enjoyed seeing what you have all been up to.

I have uploaded one final song that is from my favourite movie. Hope you enjoy and have a great Easter break!

Take care,

Mr Reid

Feel-Good Friday

2 Comments

Good morning everyone.  Are you all looking forward to the Easter holidays?  Hopefully the weather will stay good so that you can get into the garden for some outdoor learning.

I’ve changed the name of my Friday challenge, as I thought ‘Feel-Good Friday’ sounded better than ‘Crafty Friday’, so that’s what it will be called from now on.

Mrs Flockton’s ‘Design a Garden’ challenge made me think about an activity that I used to enjoy doing as a child, and I thought you might like to try it too.

Click on the Sway to find out more …

I hope you enjoy the activity.  Remember to take a photo of your creation and either email it to me or stick it in your Learning Journal.

Have a lovely break and I’ll be back with more fun challenges for you to try after the holidays.

Happy Easter!
