Good morning, everyone. I hope you are well and enjoying the second ‘Health and Wellbeing’ week.
As our Numeracy focus is still ‘Time’, I have made the following Sway on the subject of the 24-hour clock. I hope you find it useful.
There is also an activity to convert analogue times into 24-hour digital times, and some links to websites featuring a variety of follow-up activities to practise your time-telling ability.
Don’t forget to save any work to your Seesaw class journal, or write the answers in your jotters.
I hope you have settled in to our Health and Wellbeing Fortnight Activities, this week our focus is on Physical Health due to this week being our usual Sports Day week.
With this in mind take a look at our Health Hero today:
Niall McGinn currently plays for Aberdeen F C and Northern Ireland during international football season, Niall has played with a range of teams including Dungannon Swifts, Derry City, Celtic, Brentford and South Korean club Gwangju.
I would like to personally thank him for creating an inspiring video to help our Health Heroes campaign as always we would LOVE for you to leave some comments, as with all our Heroes they are able to see your messages 🙂
Today we have launched our Sports Day grid, in preparation for whenever you decide to tackle our grid it is important to warm up and cool down when taking part any exercise.
Please see Mrs Lusher sway below on Bilateral Lifts
Music can have such a positive impact on our mental health. Today, I challenge you to find a piece of instrumental music.
First of all, what does it means for a piece of music to be ‘instrumental’? Let us know in the comments if you find out!
Second, how does your piece of instrumental music make you feel?
In the Sway below, you will find a video of me playing my guitar to one of my favourite pieces of instrumental music – ‘Ocean’ by John Butler. I am playing my 12-string guitar and I’m a bit rusty, but this is a song that always makes me happy and relaxed when I play it.
What an Amazing Evening and Weekend we hope you all had, if you joined us for the Big Night In.
It felt amazing on Friday Evening to watch the countdown and think about everyone that was tuning in. We had at most 66 families watching the premiere event live and throughout the evening we had over a 100 views. Then it over the weekend we had many more views, we are now sitting at 363 views. This is absolutely amazing to look at. We know so many of you shared the show with others and we have had viewers from around the world with family members who can’t get home.
This was a really big project for the Methlick Community and we are really glad you enjoyed it, we can tell from the messages we have received and also the long list of Facebook comments. We really do hope that the BNI has brought some joy and laughter, brought your family together and created a happy memory for during this time.
Once you have totalled up your score please leave us a comment with your team name and score and below and tell us what was your favourite part of taking part in the BIG NIGHT IN.
Reminder if you are taking part in the Mutch v Reid Challenges remember to get your scores in by Tomorrow!
Good morning everyone and welcome to Methlick’s Book Club!
I hope that you have enjoyed your first 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:
Share the plot of your book – what has been happening? Remember to not give away any major information as to spoil the story for those who have not read your book
Discuss the main characters – who are they? What is your first impression of them? Describe their appearance and personality.
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!
British Red Cross believe that first aid is a crucial life skill that everyone can and should learn. They aim for all 5 – 11 year olds in the UK to have the opportunity to learn the skills and gain the confidence to save lives.
This resource is split into four sections:
What is First Aid?
Stay Safe
Help Save Lives
Emergency Action
Each section provides a range of activities such as ‘How to’ videos, interactive games and quizzes. Take some time to look through the website and let us know in the comments what you have learned. We would recommend that an adult is present when you are using this website.
We are all so excited to share with you the hard work the community of Methlick have put into creating the Big Night In. We hope it will be a memorable evening for you all.
So, you are asking yourself, how does it work?
The video has already been uploaded to Youtube and is there waiting. On Youtube we have set it to go live at 7pm as a Premiere Party. That means that you can have the video open waiting but the show will not start until 7pm. So, if you join us at 7pm, everyone will be watching at the same time.
While the show is on you can pause and go back if you want, please do not feel you can’t press pause.
Where can I watch it?
Most devices have Youtube as an app or a program. You can view the show from a games console, smart tv, phone, laptop or tablet. The video is on our Youtube account. You can search ‘Methlick Primary’ to find us.
We would suggest being ready for the show to start, so have the link open on whatever screen you are watching from about 6:45. There will be a countdown telling you how long until it starts to play.
The evening can be anything you want it to be, make a night of it and get dressed up or get comfy and dress down. The only thing you need is a pen and paper to write down your answers.
Take a photo with your family during the event and share it with your teachers.
Now remember, if you want to listen to the question again, you can pause and rewind. Each question will have a 10 second timer and if that isn’t long enough you can pause.
Want to read the questions as well?
We have you covered, download our question sheet below which you can print off and use during the show.
Welcome to our last Health Hero for this week, our key focus has been looking at our Mental, Physical and Social Wellbeing.
Dame Evelyn Glennie began to lose her hearing aged 8 and became profoundly deaf aged 12 however this did not stop her in becoming one of the most famous percussionists on an international level.
I’d like to finish this week off with another local hero who embraces all aspects of Music and has achieved so much by showing some determination and having a growth mindset!
We’ll be back Next Tuesday for some sport themed Health Heroes.
As always please leave some comments for Dame Evelyn Glennie to see!
