MILD: Literacy & HWB : Sky High

Leave a comment

This week’s sky journal is going to focus on ambition. Thinking about our dreams and big goals and where we want to go. We can take great inspiration from our health heroes thinking about what they have achieved after leaving Methlick.

You could do the same!

The sky seems to always be quite far away, something people will rarely be able to touch. We are all under the same sky and we all have big hopes and dreams.

I want you to think about what is one of your big dreams what would you like to do or be when you are older. It could be a small goal or a big dream.

Over this week we are going to be doing a photography task looking at how we can… REACH FOR THE SKY… and aim …SKY HIGH…

Our first post has focused on talking about our big dreams, so I want you to take a picture of the sky. On whatever device you are taking it I would like you to edit it. As we are going to add some writing, you can type or use the brush and I would like you to put somewhere high in sky that big or small ambition you are thinking about. I have put up a few examples, one which I have now and one from when I was little.

You could also complete this task doing a hand drawn picture of the sky writing in your goal at the top, or cut out letter from a magazine or newspaper and stick them to the top.

Although this is a simple task today you can have a great discussion with family talking about what your big dreams are and how you can …REACH FOR THE SKY…

Here is my sway on my Sky journal writing.

Next time we will add the next part, thinking about how we get there. Because, in the words of my favourite Disney princess ‘Tiana’ “The only way to get what you want in this world is through Hard Work” and we will talk more about hard work next time.

Methlick’s BIG NIGHT IN: The Results

52 Comments

What an Amazing Evening and Weekend we hope you all had, if you joined us for the Big Night In.

 

It felt amazing on Friday Evening to watch the countdown and think about everyone that was tuning in. We had at most 66 families watching the premiere event live and throughout the evening we had over a 100 views. Then it over the weekend we had many more views, we are now sitting at 363 views. This is absolutely amazing to look at. We know so many of you shared the show with others and we have had viewers from around the world with family members who can’t get home.

This was a really big project for the Methlick Community and we are really glad you enjoyed it, we can tell from the messages we have received and also the long list of Facebook comments. We really do hope that the BNI has brought some joy and laughter, brought your family together and created a happy memory for during this time.

So why are you all still reading?

Ah the results you want to see the answers…

Feel-Good Friday – Things To Look Forward To

11 Comments

Good morning, everyone.  Time for another Feel-Good Friday activity.

During lockdown many people may be feeling upset, bored or frustrated because they are unable to do all the things they usually enjoy.  At times like this, it helps to remind ourselves of all the things we have to look forward to, once the lockdown is over.

Click on my Sway to find out how to make your own jar of ‘Things to Look Forward To’.

Unfortunately I left all my craft items in school so my jar doesn’t look as pretty or as nicely decorated as I’d have liked.  I’m sure yours will look much better!

I’d love to see all your decorated jars, so please share with me via my Glow email.    I will then collate them and make a Sway so that everyone can see your designs.

Have fun, and have a good weekend.  🙂

Health and Wellbeing – First Aid

3 Comments

British Red Cross have provided the following resource – Life. Live it. First Aid education for children

Click on the following link – https://lifeliveit.redcross.org.uk

British Red Cross believe that first aid is a crucial life skill that everyone can and should learn. They aim for all 5 – 11 year olds in the UK to have the opportunity to learn the skills and gain the confidence to save lives.

This resource is split into four sections:

  • What is First Aid?
  • Stay Safe
  • Help Save Lives
  • Emergency Action

Each section provides a range of activities such as ‘How to’ videos, interactive games and quizzes. Take some time to look through the website and let us know in the comments what you have learned. We would recommend that an adult is present when you are using this website.

At the moment being at home with everyone all the time can be a little stressful, but remember to be nice, as we are all in this together.
Hope you enjoy the link to “BE NICE” and dance🕺🏻💃🏻 along.  We are going to give the moves a go, we might even post a video!  If we get enough likes💯
Personally, we all love colouring and find it very calming.  Enjoy the pictures 🌈we have chosen for you to colour🖍 in.  Maybe think about the quotes 📝in them too.
We would love to see your finished pictures.

HWB – Under the same sky

2 Comments

 

I shared this book with you on Monday.

I have added some more information to the book about the group of people, who live under the same sky as you, who were very happy to take a photo of the sky to share with you.

I think that was very kind. 

The photographs were taken by my friends  between 10am and 12noon at the weekend (16th/17th May)

  1. America, New York
  2. Canada, Alberta
  3. France, Toulouse
  4. Holland, 
  5. Russia, Moscow
  6. Russia, Svetlogorsk
  7. Scotland, Dundee
  8. Scotland, Oldmeldrum
  9. Scotland, The Isle of Lewis

I wonder if you can work out where each photo has been taken.

I have put some of the originals back in because I cropped them as it would have been too obvious. I wonder if you can find out the time difference between Scotland and there?

Maybe you could ask someone you are missing to send you a photograph of the sky and you could send one to them and you could talk about what you both see.
