Good morning everyone and welcome back to Methlick’s Book Club!
I hope that you have enjoyed your second week of Health fortnight. Hopefully, you have all been reading for enjoyment, just like me!
I have been reading ‘The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse’ by Charlie Mackesy.
What have you been reading? Let us know in the comments!
Your questions to answer this week:
Select one or two main characters from your book. If you could ask them three questions to learn more about them, what would they be? Write down your questions and try to answer them as if you were that character.
You will find my responses in the comments.
Please share your responses in the comments and let’s all talk about what we have been reading!
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.
As it’s the last week of our Health Fortnight, I thought I would choose something healthy for my Literacy challenge. All the answers to today’s anagrams are names of fruits and vegetables.
If you haven’t tried working out an anagram before – it’s easy! Just unscramble the letters in each question to form the name of a fruit or vegetable. I find the easiest way to do this is to write down all the letters in random order on a piece of paper. You can also cut them up and rearrange them that way, moving them around until you work it out.
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.
Hello Everyone, our Sports Day is almost here whether you have started your grid or not our house captains would like you to hear their speeches to motivate you to do your best this week and earn some much needed house points 🙂
Yoga is great for the body and mind. Physically, it can improve our flexibility, strength and coordination. In addition, our concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation can improve.
Why not try some activities and let us know in the comments how you get on! Here is a direct link to all the activities provided by Cosmic Kids – https://www.cosmickids.com/category/watch/
Both teachers returned to their competitive views on each other after Friday’s Big Night In.
Because it was Health Fortnight, they decided to use the Sport Day Grid you will be using at home, and adapt the tasks so that it could relate to a timed event.
Enjoy this week’s episode of Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid.
This week’s challenge:
Sports Day Stations
Both teachers must complete 4 stations in the shortest amount of time. We set up our stations all within a 5 metre shuttle run with the equipment waiting at the side.
We have….
The Shuttle Run, Star Jumps, Tattie and Spoon and the Shoe Throw.
We hope you have fun and remember to comment, email or seesaw your results to get on the leader board.
I hope you are enjoying your week so far out in the lovely sunshine and enjoying our Health and Wellbeing learning opportunities.
It’s Wednesday so that means another Health Hero is here to enlighten you into their world of sportsmanship, please click the sway below to find out who our Special Guest is today.
As David said in his video, he started off his interest in motor sports from a very young age in a small town in the South West of Scotland. From many years of hard work and perseverance he went on to compete in 15 seasons of Formula One between 1994 and 2008, taking 13 Grand Prix victories and 62 podium finishes,.
I would like to personally thank David Coulthard for replying and taking the time to create this truly inspirational video for our very own Methlick School pupils and community.
