That was a bit of fun but not a reliable way to tell the time so let’s continue to learn to tell the time on an analogue clock, a clock with a face.

Methlick’s BIG NIGHT IN – Tonight’s the Night!
It is finally here…
Methlick’s BIG NIGHT IN is this evening.
Can you believe it!?
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.
Click me to take you to the Youtube Web Page of the Show
Or you can view it on the blog, below.
How can you be ready?
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.
Who can play?
Everyone!
Try to let the youngest of the team answer first, then work your way up to the eldest as there are specific questions for certain ages.
Have an amazing evening everyone!
My Safe Place – Health Week- Science Stem Activity
Good Morning Everyone,
This week is Health week, you have been doing different nice activities and I thought we could link some of them with our activity for today. As you can read from the title and see in the photo you will build a safe place inside your house, a place where you can go when you feel sad, mad, scared or happy.
You can use this place to do things that will help to take those feelings that are sometimes not very nice and transform them into happiness. Some things you can do here can be: read your book for the Book Club, have a healthy snack, sing songs, listen to good music, tell a story, play with your toys, use the paper phones you made last week and all others you might be thinking just now.
I am going to be using 6 designs that IKEA posted as part of a quarantine campaign encouraging people to stay home. All of them have different materials that you will have at home from blankets to books, if you don’t you can always replace them for something else. Instructions are simple, consisting only of images. Choose 1 and with your family build your perfect safe place.
Make sure you have an adult supervision and the structure is safe to be inside.
Let’s see!
Design 1: You’ll just need a table, 2 sheets, a few books, and laundry pins.
Design 2: You will need a clothes rack, sheets, LED lighting chain (battery), books, pins and a hanging drier.
Design 3: You will need your sofa, a sheet, LED lighting chain (battery), books, and cushions.
Design 4: You will need a hanger, sheets, LED lighting chain (battery), books, clips and cushions.
Design 5: You will need your sofa, sheets, a blanket, pins and cushions.
Design 6: You will need a hanger, 4 chairs, sheets, a blanket/rug, LED lighting chain (battery), pins and cushions.
Don’t forget to post your comments and send a photo of your tents!

Health Heroes- Special Guest No3 Click Me #ThereisNothingLikeAMethlickDame
Hi Everyone,
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!

Mild Literacy – Book Bear Club #2
Thank you to everyone who has joined the Book Bear Club.
Dot would like to share another of her favourite books with you.
‘The Cloudspotter’ by Tom McLaughlin
We read the story together at our thoughtful spot just when the sun was lower in the sky, it was very peaceful.
Have you spotted anything in the clouds?
This is what Dot and I have spotted.
By the way ,on Tuesday Dot shared the story ‘The Bad Tempered Ladybird’
I have always wondered if a ladybird could be bad tempered as I am rather fond of them.
This link takes you to the Countryside Classroom where they investigate this question. (a lot of text )
On page 3 they answer some questions
On page 5 they tell you how to make ladybirds happy.
Numeracy – Lego Time!
We are all learning about time. Being challenged to do something within a certain amount of time can be great fun!
Warm up with some yoga poses. Can you do at least 5 minutes of yoga each day?
Here are some Superhero Poses.
Many of you are Lego experts! Lego is something you go back to again and again! It is something you love to do!
On our timetable this week there was a column left blank for you to focus on what you LOVE learning to do.
Can you create a Lego challenge for others to complete within a certain amount of time?
Send your drawings, photos, animations, video tutorials to your class teacher and we will feature them on the blog!
This is mine – 30 second challenge – very basic! I’m not an experienced lego builder! I’m sure you can help us all to improve!
Mindfulness with Mrs Still
Hello Everyone,
In line with our theme of Health Fortnight, please find below Mrs Still Mindfulness activities.
We’d love you to give some of them a go! As always let us know how you get on!
Mild Literacy and HWB – Sky journal
I hope you have enjoyed being outdoors and observing the sky.
Did you SEE, THINK and WONDER?
I was left wondering what some of the clouds shapes were called.
Some people choose to observe the sky as a job, they are called Meteorologists.
Mrs Still ,as well as being one of our wonderful PSAs, is a Meteorologist Observer.
She has kindly written this guide to the clouds for us, isn’t that fantastic!
I have had a go at writing a sky journal.
I’m not finished, now that I have Mrs Still’s book I am going to have a go at writing about different cloud formations, I will share on Friday.
Take a blanket and lie down and look at the sky, I find it very calming! ENJOY!
