Mr Reid’s Music Journey – Week 2

47 Comments

Good morning everyone!

I hope that you all had a lovely weekend with your families.

Here is a question to get you reflecting on your first week of Home Learning:

  • What has been the most challenging part of your Home Learning journey so far?

For me, it has been getting to grips with the new school blog. It has been challenging to keep up to date with comments and creating new posts to go up throughout the week. As the first week progressed, I became more comfortable with this new way of learning.

In my downtime, I have continued to practise the piano. Click on the Sway to see my progress over the last week! Do you know what song I am playing? If you’re not sure, ask someone in your family!

Hopeful for some spring sunshine and warmth we thought you might like to explore the challenges on Outdoor Learning Grid 1 to learn about worms, create a nest and investigate the rainbow spectrum of colours.

Capture your learning in your journal or sway and leave a COMMENT to let us know what you have been learning to do. Help everyone to feel connected and that we are learning together.

Mild challenge

Rainbow Scavenger Hunt – Rainbow_Nature_hunt

Nest resource – giant-nest-building-sheet

Spicy challenge

Nest resource – pdf_build_a_bird_nest

Hot challenge

Worm resource – Opal Lab Worm Identification Chart

Rainbow resource – making-rainbows

When you come back indoors:

Mild challengers might like to sit and listen to ‘Superworm’ by Julia Donaldson. Worms are superheroes in our gardens. Can you find out why?

Spicy challengers might like to sit and listen to ‘Yucky Worms’ by Vivian French. You could turn the sound off and read the book independently by pausing the clip at the right time for you. List the facts you learn from the story in your journal or sway.

Hot challengers, older children might like to watch the Springwatch documentary about earthworms which includes information about their importance, varieties. predators, how they reproduce and how to investigate them.  Creating a mindmap would help you to summarise the main points in your learning journal or sway.

Health and Wellbeing Grid 1 – Hot Challenge – Reflective Journal

Leave a comment

I have taken time to reflect upon and write about my experiences this week.

I used Book Creator on the iPad.

I do feel much better for doing this.

To put the Book Creator journal in my Sway I exported it as a video.

When I played it in Sway it was fine but possibly a bit sombre so I added a soundtrack to the video journal in movie maker before I inserted it into Sway.

You have the option to download a PDF of your book in Book Creator as well as exporting as a video.

This is a PDF of the journal – it takes quite a while to load with our internet connection at home.

Well-Being Wednesday w/ Mr Mutch #1

Mr.Mutch’s Learning Journal

My P2s know that Wednesdays are special, they even have a special name. We call them Well-Being Wednesdays, at school we try to cover our Health and Well-Being topics on that day. So, I was thinking how do I do that for the blog.

Taking inspiration from all the lovely colouring I’ve seen,  I’ve had some time to myself and coloured in my own Johanna Basford colouring page. It was very detailed and my pencils were not small enough, although it was difficult it was really relaxing.

Because this is all quite new to us all, I want to record what I am doing in many ways just like you are doing in your journals and on sway.

I’ve decided to cover my journal with a blank sheet of paper and for each day I’m going to put a small doodle or picture to mark something that happened that day. I can’t wait to see how it looks in a few weeks time. It could be my own personal where’s wally.

My first few drawings are; 1 – Day one it all started 2 – My Thumper story and 3 – Today I made some yoghurt bark.

If you want to join in, it would be great to see pictures of them in the coming weeks and if you start now you can easily catch up, its only been three days.

Happy Doodling on this Well-Being Wednesday.

I liked the look of the mindfulness colouring challenge so I decided to be brave and have a go.

I’ve never done a sway before but it was really easy to do. I played around with it and I had fun choosing my font and background.

Click on the box arrows  to view my sway. Leave me a comment for feedback and have a go yourself. You can share your design in a sway or draw it in your journal.

I can’t wait to see what you create.
