Mild – Literacy – Tiger Tale Beginning
I have loved seeing your pictures of you out on the prowl searching for tigers, feeling leaves, looking at shapes, describing sounds.
I think we are ready to write the beginning of our Tiger Tale!
This is a paper version of the tail sheet.
This is the spelling sheet Mr Mutch and I shared with you for writing with.
Mild – Reading – Tiger Facts
MILD: Numeracy – Getting in Line, with Symmetry
It is time to go on a walk, a symmetry walk.
Start out your walk indoors then head outdoors and remember to take a camera with you!
Then when you get home learn to play the line game with someone. You can use any objects as long as you both have the same.
Follow the sway to learn more.
Remember to share your learning with your teacher
Book Club – Reading – Hot – The Ickabog
Good morning everyone and welcome back to Methlick’s Book Club!
Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has recently released a new story titled ‘The Ickabog’? It is free and will be published online throughout the coming months.
Instead of us all reading different books, I thought it would be lovely if we read this new story together. Each week, we will read a new chapter, discuss the story so far and complete activities. Activities will be posted on a Monday and we will discuss our responses on a Friday.
J.K. Rowling has also challenged children to create illustrations for the book that will be published later in the year. More information on this competition can be found at – https://bit.ly/2zzey5x

Are you up for some dancing?
Here is the link to the song on Youtube. You can also find it on other platforms such as Spotify.
Listen to the song first
There are different sections to the song and you could probably think of lots of actions.
Such as dancing around, saxophone, actually walking on sunshine and big dance gestures.
Get the whole family involved, you could send in more than once clip.
Remember to send in your video by next Wednesday 10th June.
So that we can put it all together! There will be no episode on Wednesday as we will be posting on Friday instead for the end of the Expressive Arts Grids
MILD: Expressive Art – A Splash of Watercolour.
I have always found watercolour painting beautiful. I enjoy watching the paint spread across the water that is put down first.
It can take some time to learn how to use watercolours correctly, until I learned a little trick that can give the same effect very easily.
Follow the instructions in the sway below.
Once you have completed the activity you can use it as a back ground to stick drawings or pictures on top of. Or you could write your name, quote or phrase on top too.
Remember to share your results with your teacher through seesaw or email. Have a great time with some felt tips and water.

Biography of an Artist – Spicy/Hot
Today you are going to be learning about some of the features of a biography before planning and writing your own.
I have suggested that you base your biography on an artist but, as our theme this fortnight is Expressive Arts, please feel free to choose an artist, sculptor, architect, musician, dancer or actor as your subject.
The Sway below contains all the information required for you to create your biography.
Don’t forget to set your work out neatly, taking a new paragraph every time there is a change of subject. Please share your completed biography with your teacher, and don’t forget to come back on the Blog to let me know how you got on. 😊
