3,2,1… Go! Let’s get ready for Sports Day!

These extra activities are on the Sports Day grid.

These are my ideas!

Please share your snack recipes with your class teacher and we will create a ‘Sports Day Cookbook’.

One of the activities on the Sports Day grid is to make ‘Sports Day Medals’. We are surrounded by people who help us, love us and want us to succeed. I think some of these individuals deserve a medal! 

Here are some ideas!

What are your ideas?

And finally…

Mrs Lusher’s Exercise Preparation for Sports Day

Mr Reid’s Music Journey – Term 4

Hello all!

Music can have such a positive impact on our mental health. Today, I challenge you to find a piece of instrumental music.

First of all, what does it means for a piece of music to be ‘instrumental’? Let us know in the comments if you find out!

Second, how does your piece of instrumental music make you feel?

In the Sway below, you will find a video of me playing my guitar to one of my favourite pieces of instrumental music – ‘Ocean’ by John Butler.  I am playing my 12-string guitar and I’m a bit rusty, but this is a song that always makes me happy and relaxed when I play it.

MILD: Literacy & HWB : Sky High

This week’s sky journal is going to focus on ambition. Thinking about our dreams and big goals and where we want to go. We can take great inspiration from our health heroes thinking about what they have achieved after leaving Methlick.

You could do the same!

The sky seems to always be quite far away, something people will rarely be able to touch. We are all under the same sky and we all have big hopes and dreams.

I want you to think about what is one of your big dreams what would you like to do or be when you are older. It could be a small goal or a big dream.


Over this week we are going to be doing a photography task looking at how we can… REACH FOR THE SKY… and aim …SKY HIGH…

Our first post has focused on talking about our big dreams, so I want you to take a picture of the sky. On whatever device you are taking it I would like you to edit it. As we are going to add some writing, you can type or use the brush and I would like you to put somewhere high in sky that big or small ambition you are thinking about. I have put up a few examples, one which I have now and one from when I was little.

You could also complete this task doing a hand drawn picture of the sky writing in your goal at the top, or cut out letter from a magazine or newspaper and stick them to the top.

Although this is a simple task today you can have a great discussion with family talking about what your big dreams are and how you can …REACH FOR THE SKY…

Here is my sway on my Sky journal writing.

Next time we will add the next part, thinking about how we get there. Because, in the words of my favourite Disney princess ‘Tiana’ “The only way to get what you want in this world is through Hard Work” and we will talk more about hard work next time.

 

Feel-Good Friday – Things To Look Forward To

Good morning, everyone.  Time for another Feel-Good Friday activity.

During lockdown many people may be feeling upset, bored or frustrated because they are unable to do all the things they usually enjoy.  At times like this, it helps to remind ourselves of all the things we have to look forward to, once the lockdown is over.

Click on my Sway to find out how to make your own jar of ‘Things to Look Forward To’.

Unfortunately I left all my craft items in school so my jar doesn’t look as pretty or as nicely decorated as I’d have liked.  I’m sure yours will look much better!

I’d love to see all your decorated jars, so please share with me via my Glow email.    I will then collate them and make a Sway so that everyone can see your designs.

Have fun, and have a good weekend.  🙂
