Mr Reid’s Music Journey – Term 4

13 Comments

Hello all!

Music can have such a positive impact on our mental health. Today, I challenge you to think about your favourite song or piece of music and let us know in the comments. Tell us how the song makes you feel when you are listening to it. Perhaps we could even make a playlist of all our favourite songs – Methlick’s Music!

In the Sway below, you will find a video of me playing my guitar to one of my favourite songs – ‘Let it  Be’ by the Beatles. For me, this song is full of positivity and joy – it reminds me to be thankful for everything that I have.

Leave a comment

Hello everyone,

Last Tuesday, Miss Deans posted a lesson on how to write a persuasive speech. Hopefully many of you have completed this activity and are now ready to complete this follow-up task. If you have not completed the writing activity set by Miss Deans, follow the link below to do so –https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/as/methlickspring/2020/05/05/literacy-hot-persuasive-writing-interactive-lesson-with-a-sweet-treat-twist/

Today’s task will explain how to deliver a powerful and impactful speech. We will look at some famous speeches and think about what makes a presentation memorable. Our very own Mrs Webster took part in last week’s writing lesson and has already recorded her speech. Mrs Webster’s speech, along with everything else you will require to complete this activity, can be found in the Sway below.

Methlick’s Big Night In – Community Challenge – Poster Design

3 Comments

Good morning everyone!

If you have watched Mrs Fraser’s assembly this morning, then you will be aware of the upcoming event – Methlick’s Big Night In!

On the 22nd of May, the staff at Methlick School will be putting on a quiz night for everyone in the community to participate in – all from the comfort of your own home. It will be filmed as a video and accessed through the ‘Methlick Primary’ YouTube channel. We will post up links to the video on both the blog and SeeSaw.

To publicise the event, we need your help! Mrs Fraser has created a poster but we need the talented pupils of Methlick School to design a new and improved version.

All the information for the event can be found on Mrs Fraser’s poster. We would be thrilled if you could help us and design your own.

Here are some helpful tips:

  • Include all the information
  • Make sure it is neatly presented
  • Use an eye-catching design and layout
  • Lots of bold and bright colours
  • Include pictures or drawings that are related to a quiz night

If you create a poster, please email a picture of it to your class teacher. This will help us to publicise the event so that everyone in the Methlick community knows about it! Please can all posters be completed by Friday (15th).

Thank you for your help and remember to set your calendars for May 22nd – Methlick’s Big Night In!
