MILD: Literacy – My Favourite Spot

Leave a comment

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 – Numeracy – Coins

Leave a comment

Some more money activities for you to try

Twinkl – Order the coins

Twinkl – Make each amount using coins

White Rose Maths – Money 

Making coins

Watch this film to learn about how the Royal Mint make coins.

This film was made before the new £1 coin was introduced.

 

The new £1 coin

Can you count how many sides the £1 coin has?

What do the pictures on the back of the coin represent?

Why did the £1 coin have to be redesigned?

Time for a story.

‘It’s a No-Money Day’ by Kate Milner

In the second film the author of ‘It’s a No Money Day’, Kate Milner, reads her book and spends time discussing her choice and style of illustrations.  She makes some very interesting points about the illustrations to help the reader empathise with the main characters.

If you would like your child to practise reading aloud I  think it might be helpful to turn down the volume and scroll through the video from page to page.

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

4 Comments

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.

Mild – Reading – DCA Shorts ‘Tiger’

2 Comments

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

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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
