Your Final Well-Being Wednesday: Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid – The Grand Final!

For the final time this year… 

Mr.Mutch and Mr.Reid are ready to go sign off in style, in their biggest challenge yet…

or is it challenges. They even got T-shirts made!

We’ve got the whole show team involved (in front and behind the camera) as we do our own ‘Minute to Win it’ Gameshow. 

There is no leader board for this week but you can watch the games and adapt them to suit the materials in your home. Come together and enjoy lots of endless laughter, just like we did.

We can’t thank you enough for the great response each episode. 

We set out to have a bit of fun and share a community feeling together. Focusing on the mental well being, to have a routine of seeing us each week as we present the next challenge and also viewing the entries of all the other families who took part, the same as you. Plus the physical well being of us all, with the activities we would set.  We hope that during some down time throughout Home Learning this has given a smile and made you laugh.

Enjoy the Final Episode of ‘Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid’ below, 

Have a G.R.E.A.T Summer and we will see you after the break!

Well-Being Wednesday: Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid #9 Scavenger Race

The gents are back… back to school!

Yes, teachers have been able to go back into school to prepare for when we all return. Mr.Mutch and Mr.Reid actually saw each other, without the Green Screen.

When they took a break they realised they didn’t have much to do. As most places were closed or that we had been told to avoid. So after a short discussion the teachers had an idea.

Tune in and enjoy this weeks episode of…

Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid

Who is ready for a Scavenger Race?

Your challenge this week is to go on a race following clues around Methlick. You start when you find the location of your first clue. Start the timer when you set off to find clue two.

Remember to take a selfie with the card at the final destination and send it in to your teacher. We will create a video of everyone taking part and send it out next week.

Where will you place on the Leader board?

MILD: Literacy – My Favourite Spot

This fortnight is all about celebrating Scotland and our Local Area.

We all love Methlick and there are many places to love Methlick. But each of us will have that one special spot. Somewhere that could have a great view or it could be somewhere that you visit regularly or somewhere that brings back memories.

In our writing we want to make a Mild guide of places to visit in Methlick, as described by you.

Follow the Sway below to learn more…

There is a PDF attached underneath which you can print or refer to in your writing. One side is for taking notes and planning and the other is for the your final writing piece…

MILD: Literacy – How much Scots do we know already?

Scots is a language that was commonly spoken all over, however, today we now commonly use English. The funny thing is, is that certain words creep back into what we say, those words are often from the Scots Language.

Watch the following videos to learn more, do you recognise some of the words?

One of our favourites stories is the Gruffalo, listen to it in Scots.

Complete the sheet below, you do not have to print it out, you can refer to it and have a discussion with family members or phone a relative to sound out the words and learn what they mean.

Scots Words Activity 

Share your responses with your teachers through seesaw or email.
