A huge ‘THANK YOU’ to everyone who sent in photographs of the wonderful food you’ve been making for my Feel-Good Friday challenge.
You’ve really inspired me to challenge myself and make some new things. At the weekend I made butteries for the first time. They weren’t easy, but I got there in the end!
Click on the Sway to see all your amazing creations in the kitchen.
KEEP ON COOKING!
This is when a group of people get together to sew and make. They share ideas, help , encourage and have a laugh!

HUGE THANKS TO MRS STILL AND MRS WEBSTER FOR BEING SUCH BUSY SEWING BEES!!

On BBC 1 there is a programme called ‘The Sewing Bee’ – there are 3 parts
The Pattern Challenge
The Makeover Challenge
The Made to Measure Challenge – let’s rethink this challenge!
To follow the pattern to succeed
Each week on the television programme contestants are given an everyday item to makeover into a new item in a very short amount of time. Last week each contestant had a sleeping bag and they had to make a children’s costume. The results were amazing!
No fabric then why not try this cardboard sewing challenge instead!
I hope you enjoy taking part in one of these challenges or inventing your own!

My daughter was bored on Saturday. It was snowing! She was grumbling! Eventually she agreed to have a go at making a bee and she surprised herself! She made her own pattern and sewed from lunchtime until late evening until she finished! Sewing is a very important skill for her future career as she is studying to become a vet so this was good practise as well.
Making, sewing, building, tinkering away at a project in your imagination can be very absorbing. You can forget about everything around you for a while!
Hello everyone,
Today’s Health and Wellbeing activity is to complete the ‘Stay at Home’ challenge set by Eco-Schools Scotland.
Answer the questions provided and create a presentation of your choosing – Sway, PowerPoint, poster or video. Mrs Webster has provided answers to the questions and her responses are there to offer support/guidance. If you are unsure of a specific question, read Mrs Webster’s response to get some ideas.
Everything you need to complete this activity can be found in the Sway below. Remember to share your work with your class teacher via Seesaw or Glow email.
As part of Methlick Eco Fortnight I was challenged to make one meat free meal. I made the recipe shown below. The black beans were a delicious substitution for the chicken I would usually use. Inspired by the grid, I then made the recipe into a little card to print off and add to my recipe book.
Do you have a recipe book where you keep all of your favourite recipes? Maybe you could share some of your favourite recipes with your teacher this week. Let us know if you make a meat free meal this week and add your recipe to your Seesaw journal if you can.
Practise recognising those long vowel ‘ee’ sounds and the alternative versions – are you getting better?
Did you notice that there is no illustration for the last page of the story?
Many of us will be celebrating V.E. Day. You might be having a tea party. Would that give you any ideas?
Please send a photograph of your idea to Ms Rossvoll or Mr Mutch and they will be added to the book!
Hello Methlick Primary
Our challenge for today is related to this picture and the title of the activity, can you guess what it might be?

Good try! We might be spending more time on phones or computers these days so let’s find a fun way to communicate. We will be making a paper cup phone that you can use with anyone at home 🙂 Do you think this will be even possible? If you have tried before and already know the answer, make sure you don’t give it away! Let’s begin.
P.S: This is one of my favourite experiments when I was young, I did it with my brother and we couldn’t stop laughing, we had lots of fun. Hope you do too!
With this activity you will be developing your Scientific skills, such as critical thinking, planning, problem-solving, persevering, following steps.
Questions:
Materials
-Two paper or plastic cups (even yogurt ones will do)
-Pencil/ colouring markers
-String (Make sure it is at least 2 mts)
-You and someone else
Steps
3. If your cups are white like in the photo you can use the markers to decorate them. If you have a yogurt one or something with a design already you can always find a way to cover that and decorate it.
Your cup telephone is now ready! Well done!
Now, choose somebody at home to try this with. Make sure you are distant enough so you can’t hear the voices clearly.
Questions
Did you know?
Old landline phones were created using the same principle as a string telephone. The sound waves are turned into an electrical signal that can travel much farther than a simple string.
Science Behind
Sounds are a vibration in the air, we can’t see it but we can hear it. What happened in this experiment is that your voice vibrated inside the cup allowing that vibration to travel through the string into the other person’s cup. If the string is not tight enough the vibration will go all around making it difficult to get properly to the other side, so you might not hear well.
Let me know how you did by commenting below, if you want to share a photo with me you can always email me: amanda.maturana@aberdeenshire.gov.uk
They spoke about the different types and variety of bees.
The Friends of the Earth website has a useful bee identification guide.
To find out more about pollination visit The Eden Project website.
Hopefully you have read the Spicy task on the grid about tracking animals. I know my children have been more vigilant during our walks and spotted nature changing around. We have also been lucky to spot lots of wild animals so I know some of you will be interested to identify what we see. Choose 1 or more tasks below for your home learning.
Sometimes the animals are well hidden or run away at the sign of any humans so we have to look closely for evidence. Here is some evidence we have found in our local woodlands.
Task 1 – Can you guess what we spotted?
Here are some hints –

Task 2 – Find some prints
Sometimes the animals leave tracks behind and this resource from the RSPB is very interesting, it shows the actual size of animal prints you might find.
Look closely on your next walk for animal tracks and take a photo or draw an image of what the print looks like, estimate the size so you can compare it with others. Has anyone been lucky and spotted any footprints?
If you have been like us and not spotted any tracks this resource might might help you spot some other animals that like to hide away.
Draw a picture or write a short report on your animal findings, can you accurately identify the animal? How did you do this?
Task 3 – Make an animal tracker
If you want to take this activity further you could try making an animal tracker to see if anything visits your garden. See the link below.
Good luck detectives, remember to share any photos or work with your teacher or leave me a comment below with your guesses for Task 1.
In keeping with our Eco theme, I have thought of some maths-related outdoor activities which I hope you’ll enjoy. The first is on the topic of Area, while the second is on Measuring.
Explanations for both activities can be found in the Sway below.
Remember – there are links on the Spicy grid which provide help with calculating area and measurements. Check them out if you’re unsure about anything.
Don’t forget to record your findings in your Home Learning Journal or Sway. You can also send them to myself or your teacher in an email to let us see your results.
Good luck!
