MILD: Literacy & HWB: Sky High… Ready for Lift Off!

Time for the final addition to our Photography or Drawing activity.

So far we have looked at our ambitions and our own personal qualities and skills. Much like our Health Heroes, they didn’t reach their ambition on their own they needed support.

That is our focus today…

Follow the Sway below to learn about our final addition to the project.

When you are ready you can follow the writing task, there are sentence starters provided if you would like.

Remember to share with your teachers on Seesaw, Email or comment on the blog.

Health and Wellbeing – Yoga

Hello everyone,

Yoga is great for the body and mind. Physically, it can improve our flexibility, strength and coordination. In addition, our concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation can improve.

More than one million children do yoga, mindfulness and relaxation with Cosmic Kids – https://www.cosmickids.com/about/

Why not try some activities and let us know in the comments how you get on! Here is a direct link to all the activities provided by Cosmic Kids – https://www.cosmickids.com/category/watch/

Play Sumdog with Mr Reid and Miss Deans – Spicy/Hot – Numeracy – Term 4 – Week 6

Good morning everyone

If your child has a Sumdog account, they will be able to play with Mr Reid and Miss Deans between 12pm – 1pm today.

Mr Reid will be playing – High Rise

Miss Deans will be playing – Pier Walk 

Each game will start on a 5 minute interval, meaning that the first game will start at 12pm, then 12.05pm, 12.10pm etc.

When selecting ‘Who do you want to play against?’ – Select ‘Class’.

We have added every teacher to each class, so we should all be able to play together!

We look forward to playing Sumdog with you all.

Sports Day Wednesday: Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid #6

THEY ARE BACK!

Ready to take on Sports Day!

Both teachers returned to their competitive views on each other after Friday’s Big Night In.

Because it was Health Fortnight, they decided to use the Sport Day Grid you will be using at home, and adapt the tasks so that it could relate to a timed event.

Enjoy this week’s episode of Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid.

This week’s challenge:

Sports Day Stations

Both teachers must complete 4 stations in the shortest amount of time. We set up our stations all within a 5 metre shuttle run with the equipment waiting at the side.

We have….

The Shuttle Run, Star Jumps, Tattie and Spoon and the Shoe Throw.

We hope you have fun and remember to comment, email or seesaw your results to get on the leader board.

Make a Healthy (Home) Packed Lunch

Hopefully you have all been helping out at home making food to eat during lockdown and you have realised that it’s important to eat well to keep you healthy. We know shopping for food has been more challenging during this time and understand that you may not have access to foods you would normally have so for the final task be as creative as possible and imagine what you would love to have.

Task 1 – Learn more about the Eatwell plate.

Although we all like a sweet treat or two at times we know this is not what we should eat every day. Have a look at the NHS information found here which shows what we should eat. You do not need to achieve this balance with every meal, but try to get the balance right over a day or even a week.

The Eatwell Guide

Task 1 – Read the information on the website above and answer the questions in the Sway.

Task 2 – Using the information from above can you design a HEALTHY packed lunch and include a portion of food from each food group? I have made one in this Sway. Have I managed to include food from each food group?

Task 3 – Can you design an imaginary sandwich? This could be your favourite sandwich or a totally made up one. For example Marshmallows and chocolate spread. (Healthy or unhealthy? Do you think your sandwich is healthy or unhealthy? Would you eat it?)

 

 

 

Health Heroes- Special Guest No5 Click Me #Formula1sFinest

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your week so far out in the lovely sunshine and enjoying our Health and Wellbeing learning opportunities.

It’s Wednesday so that means another Health Hero is here to enlighten you into their world of sportsmanship, please click the sway below to find out who our Special Guest is today.

 

 

As David said in his video, he started off his interest in motor sports from a very young age in a small town in the South West of Scotland. From many years of hard work and perseverance he went on to  compete in 15 seasons of Formula One between 1994 and 2008, taking 13 Grand Prix victories and 62 podium finishes,.

I would like to personally thank David Coulthard for replying and  taking the time to create this truly inspirational video for our very own Methlick School pupils and community.

 

The 24-Hour Clock – Spicy/Hot

Good morning, everyone.  I hope you are well and enjoying the second ‘Health and Wellbeing’ week.

As our Numeracy focus is still ‘Time’, I have made the following Sway on the subject of the 24-hour clock.  I hope you find it useful.

There is also an activity to convert analogue times into 24-hour digital times, and some links to websites featuring a variety of follow-up activities to practise your time-telling ability.
