This week they’re back but the competition is off. 

They have a different task for you this week. 

Watch this week’s episode to find out more

Are you up for some dancing?

Here is the link to the song on Youtube. You can also find it on other platforms such as Spotify.

Listen to the song first

There are different sections to the song and you could probably think of lots of actions.

Such as dancing around, saxophone, actually walking on sunshine and big dance gestures.

Get the whole family involved, you could send in more than once clip.

Remember to send in your video by next Wednesday 10th June.

So that we can put it all together! There will be no episode on Wednesday as we will be posting on Friday instead for the end of the Expressive Arts Grids 

MILD: Expressive Art – A Splash of Watercolour.

I have always found watercolour painting beautiful. I enjoy watching the paint spread across the water that is put down first.

It can take some time to learn how to use watercolours correctly, until I learned a little trick that can give the same effect very easily.

Follow the instructions in the sway below.

Once you have completed the activity you can use it as a back ground to stick drawings or pictures on top of. Or you could write your name, quote or phrase on top too.

Remember to share your results with your teacher through seesaw or email. Have a great time with some felt tips and water.

Mild – Art and Design – Surprise!!

If you have listened to our book of the fortnight you will know that Nora has an  incredible journey in her Grandma’s garden.

Can you go for a walk and find a garden or wild space to explore?

Look at the shapes, lines and patterns on the leaves.

Nora had a lot of surprises in her Grandma’s garden.

Did anything surprise you?

Henri Rousseau surprised a lot of people when he painted a tiger in this now famous painting.

Find out more about the painting, artist, art elements and techniques to create a collage inspired by Rousseau.

Update – 2nd June @ 14:10

I have been outdoors and have made a collection of leaf patterns. I am about to start drawing the shapes and lines.

I got a surprise when 5 goldfinches landed beside me, just beautiful!!!

How are you getting on?

Mild – Literacy – Reading – There’s a Tiger in the Garden!

Can you find a tiger in your garden?

We will be learning together to write a ‘Tiger Tale’ over the next couple of weeks.

Great writers go out and explore.

They use their senses to take in information to use for story ideas.

When you are out and about can you get your brain to capture what you

  • see,
  • smell,
  • hear,
  • touch
  • and maybe even taste

to help you write an incredible ‘Tiger Tale’? 

This is a paper copy of the reading comprehension questions in the sway.

First Aid with Mrs Webster- Health and Wellbeing

Hello Everyone, Happy Thursday.

We would love to hear if any of you have been practising your FIrst Aid skills from looking at Mr Reid’s post last week or if you have done  this independently.

I thought , who better to tell us about First Aid than one of our PSA’s; Mrs Webster.

Please have a look at her poster information below that she has created to help you remember about first aid and their role in the playground.

 

MILD: Literacy: Book Bear Club – Story Mapping

How is everyone’s Book Bears

I know they are all excellent listeners.

Thanks for sharing your book nooks they all look so lovely to sit in and read.

Something that P2 enjoy creating and are also quite skilful in reading is story maps.

Story maps are a great tool to help us remember tales and identify the most important parts of the story.

Here is a few examples from P2. You can use pictures and key words to help you remember the story.

You can chose to do your own book that you have been reading to your bear or chose one of the featured tales, The Angry Ladybird or What’s the Time.

Remember to share your story maps with your teacher on seesaw or email.

Health Heroes Final Guests No6 Finale #LetsGetClapping

Hello Everyone,

Over the last two weeks, we have seen a range of Health Heroes that I am sure we have all taken something away from. I am so glad you have enjoyed tuning in each day to find out who we have had.

I’d like to round up our Health Heroes campaign with I am sure you will all agree Heroes that in my eyes are Heroes every minute of our day and lives: the NHS.

Please find below a video from Mrs Anne-Marie McGrath ( Ruairidh and Eilidh’s mum) who throughout her night shift at Aberdeen Hospital was able to record this for us.  I would like to personally thank her for taking the time to record this video for us on behalf of herself, Aberdeen Hospital and the wider community of NHS staff.

WIthin in our school and wider community we have a range of key workers and NHS workers who we would like to dedicate this post to for all their hard work during this time.

When we clap tonight as we do every Thursday, we clap for a wide range of NHS and key workers, as Anne-Marie says in her video boys and girls give yourself a clap too!

We also have another set of Health Heroes, Alex and Adam McDonald participated in a World  Sepsis Awareness video at Aberdeen Hospital that they would like to share with you. Well Done Boys.

That is our focus today…

When you are ready you can follow the writing task, there are sentence starters provided if you would like.
