Time to write the ‘Tail’ end of your story.
How will the problem be solved?
What type of ending will you choose?

What type of ending have I chosen?
Did you expect that?
The mermaid and the tiger danced till dawn!
Let’s dance to celebrate your fabulous Tiger Tales!!
Mild – Reading – DCA Shorts ‘Tiger’
Every week, since schools have closed, Dundee Contemporary Arts, DCA have been sharing short films from the children’s collection for their annual Film Festivals.
I was delighted when the DCA team shared the film ‘Tiger’ last week. Perfect timing!
(Short films and animations are a type of text that we share and talk about with your children, in a similar way to picture books.)
After watching ‘Tiger’ talk about the questions below.
There are many surprises and problems; funny sound effects and a great ending to discuss. Talking about this might help you when writing your ‘Tiger Tale’
The DCA have also shared the activities they designed for schools.
Take a look! Tiger Activity Pack
I wonder what designs you have on your plates at home?
What might happen if they came to life?
MILD: Numeracy – Shadow Puppets with Shapes
The pictures of your drawings that some of you have sent in look amazing.
It is really interesting how a collection of simple shapes can look like an animal.
Today we are going to do the same with our shapes.
By grouping shapes together in a certain way you get an outline of a line that goes all the way around. When you have these grouped shapes all together in one colour it has a special name…Do you know what it is?
They are called Silhouettes.
Today we are going to create some simple silhouettes and cast their shadow out in the grass to imagine they are in our jungle. You can also set up a torch indoors and play with your shadow puppets.
Follow the Sway below to learn more…
Remember to send in pictures of your work to your teacher through email or seesaw.
MILD: HWB & Art – Symmetry in Nature
Did you all enjoy your symmetry walks last week?
The pictures you sent in were great some went exploring on their walks and some hunted around their bedrooms.
Today we are going to look at symmetry in nature and complete a painting activity.
You may have to make your own paint, which I found really fun, as I had to be curious and try and make my own colours.

Mild – Literacy – Tiger Tale Middle
I loved reading the beginning of your ‘Tiger Tales’
Let’s think about the middle of your story.
- Who might appear?
- What might they look like?
- What problem might they have?
- How do they feel because of this problem?

I had a go!
Mild – Art and Design – Sculpture
Last week we tried to create a collage inspired by Henri Rousseau and the educator at the National Gallery.
Then later in the week we had a go at building a a 3D collage, a structure that stood up. This can be called sculpture.
Learn more about sculpture from the gang at Sesame Street!
I had a go at making some tiger sculptures.
I wonder what you might use to make a sculpture
Mild – Reading – Augustus and his Smile
I hope you enjoy listening to our new ‘Tiger Tale’!
Keep smiling!
MILD: Numeracy – Building Animals using Shapes
Last week we reviewed and extended our knowledge of Shapes. This week we are going to using our knowledge to apply it to an art task.
Some of you have already sent in your drawing following the video on the grid, Well Done!
Today we are going to look at identifying the shapes we need ourselves to create a simple shape drawing.
The sway below gives you ideas on how to identify the shapes you need to create an animal.
Most of the examples only use, Squares, Triangles, Rectangles and Circles. By used differently every time we can create and fish and a snake with just a few changes.
Discuss with family why you are using a certain shape as a neck, or arm or elbow rather than another shape. What qualities does that shape have that makes it the best shape to use?
Have great fun and on Wednesday we will extend this further and create some shadow puppets in the grass.
