Well-Being Wednesday: Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid #9 Scavenger Race

7 Comments

The gents are back… back to school!

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.

Tune in and enjoy this weeks episode of…

Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid

Who is ready for a Scavenger Race?

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.

Where will you place on the Leader board?

Feel-Good Friday – Pebble Art

3 Comments

For this Friday’s creative challenge I was inspired by Mrs Fraser’s assembly on different types of art, also by a comment that Hayden made on the blog.

Today we are going to be creating pictures using small stones and pebbles.   The subject of your picture is entirely your choice – it could be your family, your cat or dog,  birds, flowers – anything!

Click on the Sway to find out more …

Don’t forget to take photos of your artwork and send them to your teacher or to me, so that I can make a gallery on Sway to show your creations to everyone.  Have fun, and have a great weekend.

Graffiti: A Form of Art ?

Leave a comment

Hi Everyone,

I thought I would cover an area of art that creates mystery, excitement but also plays a role in our culture and society in positive ways but also unfortunately sometimes in negative ways.

This Sway will go through the history of Graffiti and some tasks along the way including some Critical Questioning and Thinking and a chance to create your own graffiti style art piece.

Mild – Reading – DCA Shorts ‘Tiger’

2 Comments

Every week, since schools have closed, Dundee Contemporary Arts, DCA have been sharing short films from the children’s collection for their annual Film Festivals.

I was delighted when the DCA team shared the film ‘Tiger’ last week. Perfect timing!

(Short films and animations are a type of text that we share and talk about with your children, in a similar way to picture books.)

After watching ‘Tiger’ talk about the questions below.

There are many surprises and problems; funny sound effects and a great ending to discuss. Talking about this might help you when writing your ‘Tiger Tale’

The DCA have also shared the activities they designed for schools.

Take a look! Tiger Activity Pack

I wonder what designs you have on your plates at home?

What might happen if they came to life?
