Literacy: Pobble: Hot

I love creative writing, especially when I have to think of a story with very little to go off of. It could be a picture, a video, a song that could be the inspiration for a story and from there you can build the world of your story to be anything.

I was really intrigued to give the Pobble HOT challenge a go, it was going to be my first HOT Challenge and I was really excited to try it. I felt much more confident after following Miss Deans Sway the other day on how to help build my story. She gave me tips and different things that I could consider to help make my piece of writing better.

On the website link there were lots of things to do relating to the picture so I decided to give them all a go and hopefully they would help me to create my story.

Here is a PDF link to my finished story, it can also be found at the end of my sway.

Pobble About to Hatch Story Starter

This is a great little project that can be completed over a longer period of time and it has all been created from one picture! How have you all got on with your Pobbles?

Egg Box Volume – Numeracy – Hot

Hello everyone,

Have you had a go at the ‘Hot’ Numeracy Challenge – Egg Box Volume?

The task was to  create a net for an easter egg that is 20 cm high and 8cm wide. The net must have a window shape cut into the front to view the egg through.

Here are some simple and straight forward instructions to help you with this task.

1. Create a net for a 3D Cuboid – If you do not have paper big enough to match the dimensions, feel free to alter the measurements. Use a search engine to help with the drawing of your net.

2. Decorate the net of your Cuboid using Easter images – for example, eggs, Easter Bunny or chicks.

3. Carefully cut out an egg shaped-hole in one of the rectangles.

4. Cut out the Cuboid Net and assemble your Easter box!

If you managed to complete this activity, please share your finished product with your class teacher – through Seesaw or email.

 

Literacy Pobble Story Starter Support with Miss Deans

Hello Everyone 🙂

Hope you all had a nice weekend and are ready for another week of learning.

My blog post today is on our Story Starter task, again I am aware many of you may have already done this but I would encourage you to go through this powerpoint, you could maybe self assess your piece of writing or edit and redraft as this is also a very important skill within your writing that will create depth and progression 🙂

Remember you can send your stories to your individual teacher through their email/ send the link of sway via private message on seesaw.

Mr Reid’s Music Journey – Week 2

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:

  • What has been the most challenging part of your Home Learning journey so far?

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!

Health and Wellbeing : Grid 1. Hot Challenge. Mrs Fraser has a go !

I liked the look of the mindfulness colouring challenge so I decided to be brave and have a go.

I’ve never done a sway before but it was really easy to do. I played around with it and I had fun choosing my font and background.

Click on the box arrows  to view my sway. Leave me a comment for feedback and have a go yourself. You can share your design in a sway or draw it in your journal.

I can’t wait to see what you create.

Mrs Fraser
