Feel-Good Friday – Ms Rees

28 Comments

Good morning, everyone.

I hope you have enjoyed taking part in the challenges and activities that we suggested for you this week.  I thought we could round off the week with a different kind of Feel-Good Friday challenge.

Click on my Sway to find out more.  You can probably guess what it is from the picture!  Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

IMPORTANT :  Please don’t take part in this challenge without an adult’s permission and supervision.

I find cooking very therapeutic – especially making bread, even though I’m not very good at it!

Have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you all again next week.  😊

Whoosh & Kaboom! Science-Stem Activity

5 Comments

Good Morning Boys and Girls,

For today’s topic I am going to ask you to relate the title of this post and a picture of one of my favourite Disney films. Can you guess what we will build today? Can you name the film?

Well done! Today we will build a Catapult, in order to do that I am going to show you some materials you can use and a possible way to do it. You can choose the level of difficulty you want:

Spicy: You can follow the steps from below.

Hot: You will build your own using your own way to do it.

With this activity you will be developing your Scientific skills, such as critical thinking, planning, problem-solving,  persevering, following steps.

Some of you might need help or supervision when using the materials. If you realize you don’t have the exact materials you can always find other things  to help you, that would be a fantastic problem-solving!

Score Card and Planner: Click the green link to find a handout that will track your design, play and questioning skills.

Whoosh & Kaboom!

 

Materials

 

Steps 1 

Collect all the materials you will need and set them on your table, ready to begin.

Step 2-3

As it is shown in the picture, pile up 7 popsicles  and make a safe knot at the end of each.  The 2 popsicles left, pill them up too and make a knot just at one end.

Steps 4-5

Like a big tweezer open the two popsicles and place them on top and under the other big pile. Make sure the one in the bottom passes between the last two popsicles of the pile. See picture below.

Step 6-7

Make sure everything is well tight and stable. At the end glue the lid at the tip of the popsicle, make sure it’s well glued before using it.

While you wait for it to dry you can start preparing your targets, here are two ideas.

Let’s begin the battle! You can comment on the post about your work and thoughts. Also, you can send me a photo of your design to amanda.maturana@aberdeenshire.gov.uk

This is mine, it was so fun trying it! There were a few things I didn’t have so I replaced them and it worked 🙂

Well done for trying!

Spicy – Literacy – Writing no.3

I selected ‘The Six-Legged Spider’ as my focus.  It contained a conflict between the main character, the spider, and a long list of employers.

This was the front cover I redesigned.  This was my second attempt.  On my first try I included some of the challenges she faced in the story, but then I thought it might give to much of the plot away, so I had another go.

I looked at some other blurbs before writing mine. I came across some that didn’t give too much away, but made you want to look inside to find out more.  I tried to keep mine similar to this, as well as short and sweet!

I can’t wait to see what you come up with Spicy writers! You can show yours to your teachers over on your Sway Journals or on Seesaw. 📝

Just wanted to say a BIG Thank You to all those that have tried out our Health and Wellbeing task. They are looking FAB!

Don’t worry if you haven’t had a chance to do one yet you still have another week to go.

Please send on your creative pieces of your work to your teacher so we can collect them all to create a Sway for you all to see .

Thanks

Feel-Good Friday

The weather was so lovely during the holidays that I went out for lots of long walks.  On the way, I spotted many different kinds of wild flowers.

Click on the Sway below to find out more about this week’s Feel-Good Friday challenge …

Remember – write your answers in your Home Learning Journal.  Don’t post them on the Blog, as everyone will be able to see them.  Just leave a message to let me know how you got on.  Good luck!
