Today I thought I would focus my blog post on a nice easy relaxing choice from our new grid since it launches today and you might just be getting to familiarise yourself with it.

I chose the Health and Wellbeing task, this term we were going to be working cooperatively with Rev Will Stalder and the Methlick community to celebrate VE Day by creating artistic pieces of words related to VE Day. We decided as a staff to choose this as one of our home learning activities.

The Primary 7 word is Resolution luckily I randomly had a bucket of toy soldiers and thought I could display my words using that HOWEVER half way through I realised I wouldn’t have enough toy soldiers 🤔

Then I used some problem solving skills I made the first five letters of the word took a picture of it and then made the second 5 letters took a picture and merged them together using a Picture collage app.

I can’t wait to see what you all do for your class word.

Please share your ideas below and send any completed ones to your teacher.

Literacy: Pobble: Hot

April 2, 2020 Mr Mutch Leave a comment

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

March 31, 2020 Mr Reid 2 Comments

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.

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.
