Good Morning- Let’s get those minds working to start off the week.
Here’s a wee puzzle for you and your family to do.
This is a MILD challenge to start with with there is a SPICY and HOT challenge there too.
Don’t give up- have a go !
Leave a comment and let me know how you get on – Mrs Fraser 🙂
Good morning everyone!
I hope that you all had a lovely weekend with your families.
Here is a question to get you reflecting on your first week of Home Learning:
For me, it has been getting to grips with the new school blog. It has been challenging to keep up to date with comments and creating new posts to go up throughout the week. As the first week progressed, I became more comfortable with this new way of learning.
In my downtime, I have continued to practise the piano. Click on the Sway to see my progress over the last week! Do you know what song I am playing? If you’re not sure, ask someone in your family!

Hopeful for some spring sunshine and warmth we thought you might like to explore the challenges on Outdoor Learning Grid 1 to learn about worms, create a nest and investigate the rainbow spectrum of colours.
Capture your learning in your journal or sway and leave a COMMENT to let us know what you have been learning to do. Help everyone to feel connected and that we are learning together.

Mild challengers might like to sit and listen to ‘Superworm’ by Julia Donaldson. Worms are superheroes in our gardens. Can you find out why?
Spicy challengers might like to sit and listen to ‘Yucky Worms’ by Vivian French. You could turn the sound off and read the book independently by pausing the clip at the right time for you. List the facts you learn from the story in your journal or sway.
Hot challengers, older children might like to watch the Springwatch documentary about earthworms which includes information about their importance, varieties. predators, how they reproduce and how to investigate them. Creating a mindmap would help you to summarise the main points in your learning journal or sway.
Today I thought I’d attempt a HOT challenge from the Literacy grid, as I know a few of you have done this already.
With poetry, remember that ‘less is more’, so choose your words carefully and remember to paint a picture in the reader’s mind.
Drifting slowly down
Like pink confetti falling –
Cherry blossom tree.
Trees scrape the night sky,
Bare branches clutching at stars.
The storm is coming.
And now a silly one –
Stretching and yawning,
The world’s laziest cat wakes –
“Time for my tea, Mum!”
Hope you’ll have a go too! 🙂
I have taken time to reflect upon and write about my experiences this week.
I used Book Creator on the iPad.
I do feel much better for doing this.
To put the Book Creator journal in my Sway I exported it as a video.
When I played it in Sway it was fine but possibly a bit sombre so I added a soundtrack to the video journal in movie maker before I inserted it into Sway.
You have the option to download a PDF of your book in Book Creator as well as exporting as a video.
This is a PDF of the journal – it takes quite a while to load with our internet connection at home.
These resources might be helpful.

Hi everyone – it’s nearly the weekend! Have a look at my Sway to find out what this week’s Crafty Friday activity involves.
Hello everyone, I hope you all enjoyed the story of Tangrams. If you haven’t already watched it you can follow the link of the grid.
Follow my sway to create your own Tangram set. You don’t need to print off a cut out sheet as you can easily fold an A4 page correctly and get all the shapes you need.
Enjoy. Mr.Mutch
