Book Club – Reading – Hot – The Ickabog – Chapter 2 + 3
Good morning everyone and welcome back to Methlick’s Book Club!
I hope that you have enjoyed your second week of Expressive Arts fortnight. This week, I have read chapter 2 and 3 of J.K. Rowling’s new book , ‘The Ickabog’. Have you managed to read both chapters?
Our activities this week:
Chapter 2 – Design and draw your version of what you think the Ickabog might look like. Click on the Sway below to see the illustrations that were sent in.
In Chapter 3, we learned that Fred’s seamstress sadly passes away. Fred appeared to feel guilty for overworking his servant, however his friends, Spittleworth and Flapoon reassured him that he couldn’t be a nicer king. The chapter ended with Fred getting into bed.
In the comments, let’s discuss how Fred might be feeling about the tragic event as he lies in his bed.
Mr Reid’s Music Journey – Term 4
Hello all!
Today’s post is very different and will not focus on my music journey. Instead, we are going to be highlighting the music journey of a family in Methlick School – Harry and Emily.
They both really enjoy their music and even have their own band called The Bubble Rats.
You can listen to two of their songs by clicking on the following link – https://thebubblerats.bandcamp.com/
Emily wrote and sang all the lyrics herself to the song “Me to you” – Harry sings the backing vocals on “The Bubble Rat Shuffle”. All the voices you will hear are theirs and their dad plays all the instruments.
If you have been playing any music during your Home Learning, we would love to hear about it! Let us know in the comments.

Health and Wellbeing – Methlick’s Virtual Gallery – Week 2 – Hot
Good morning everyone!
Last week we took a virtual tour of Aberdeen Art Gallery – https://bit.ly/2AR37X5
Let’s create Methlick’s Art Gallery!
Now it is time for you to create your own piece of art. We would like for you to be as creative as possible. Use any medium you wish – it could be a sculpture, painting, drawing or anything else you can think of. Once your masterpiece is finished, complete a short biography for it. This should include information about the artist (you), what you have used to create your piece and the meaning behind your work. Don’t forget to give it a title too!
Click on the Sway below to see everything you will need to complete this activity. An example has also been provided. Good luck and remember to share your work with your class teacher.

Book Club – Reading – Hot – The Ickabog – Chapter 1
Good morning everyone and welcome back to Methlick’s Book Club!
I hope that you have enjoyed your first week of Expressive Arts fortnight. This week, I have read chapter 1 of J.K. Rowling’s new book , ‘The Ickabog’. Have you managed to read the first chapter too?
Your questions to answer this week:
- What is your opinion of the story so far? Share what you like or dislike.
- Making predictions – Now that you have read Chapter 1, what do you think will happen next? Is there going to be a main character and who might they be?
You will find my responses in the comments.
Please share your responses in the comments and let’s all talk about The Ickabog!

Book Club – Reading – Hot – The Ickabog
Good morning everyone and welcome back to Methlick’s Book Club!
Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has recently released a new story titled ‘The Ickabog’? It is free and will be published online throughout the coming months.
Instead of us all reading different books, I thought it would be lovely if we read this new story together. Each week, we will read a new chapter, discuss the story so far and complete activities. Activities will be posted on a Monday and we will discuss our responses on a Friday.
J.K. Rowling has also challenged children to create illustrations for the book that will be published later in the year. More information on this competition can be found at – https://bit.ly/2zzey5x
