Today, rather than posting a Sway, I’m going to share some art activities from the National Galleries of Scotland.
Each week, throughout the lockdown, they have been posting ideas for creative projects for children, including mud painting, spiral finding, map drawing, and bangle making.

Have fun!
I hope that you have enjoyed your first week of Social Studies fortnight. This week, I have read chapter 4, 5 and 6 of J.K. Rowling’s new book , ‘The Ickabog’. Have you managed to read all three chapters?
This week we focused on answering a set of Comprehension questions. You were asked to complete the questions in your Home Learning Journal and share your answers with your class teacher.
In the comments, can you share one of your answers to the questions that were provided?

Hello Boys and Girls!
Today we are going to learn about a breed of birds that gather every spring and summer in the coasts of Scotland, Puffins. They nest in cliffs at scattered locations around the coast of Scotland, northern England, south-west England and Wales. They are a very special type of birds that live in the sea most of their lives and only go to land for breeding. Here in Scotland are several viewpoints to see them, one of them is at the RSPB Scotland Fowlsheugh Nature Reserve. Last year I decided to go and see them, it was an amazing experience! It took me a while to spot them because they were not the only birds there and they are very small.
Let’s learn more about them.
Read the questions below and look at the Puffin picture.

Yes, teachers have been able to go back into school to prepare for when we all return. Mr.Mutch and Mr.Reid actually saw each other, without the Green Screen.
When they took a break they realised they didn’t have much to do. As most places were closed or that we had been told to avoid. So after a short discussion the teachers had an idea.
Your challenge this week is to go on a race following clues around Methlick. You start when you find the location of your first clue. Start the timer when you set off to find clue two.
Remember to take a selfie with the card at the final destination and send it in to your teacher. We will create a video of everyone taking part and send it out next week.

We all love Methlick and there are many places to love Methlick. But each of us will have that one special spot. Somewhere that could have a great view or it could be somewhere that you visit regularly or somewhere that brings back memories.
In our writing we want to make a Mild guide of places to visit in Methlick, as described by you.
