Your Final Well-Being Wednesday: Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid – The Grand Final!

July 1, 2020 Mr Mutch 23 Comments

For the final time this year…

Mr.Mutch and Mr.Reid are ready to go sign off in style, in their biggest challenge yet…

or is it challenges. They even got T-shirts made!

We’ve got the whole show team involved (in front and behind the camera) as we do our own ‘Minute to Win it’ Gameshow.

There is no leader board for this week but you can watch the games and adapt them to suit the materials in your home. Come together and enjoy lots of endless laughter, just like we did.

We can’t thank you enough for the great response each episode.

We set out to have a bit of fun and share a community feeling together. Focusing on the mental well being, to have a routine of seeing us each week as we present the next challenge and also viewing the entries of all the other families who took part, the same as you. Plus the physical well being of us all, with the activities we would set. We hope that during some down time throughout Home Learning this has given a smile and made you laugh.

Enjoy the Final Episode of ‘Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid’ below,

Have a G.R.E.A.T Summer and we will see you after the break!

This week we won’t be having a Numeracy/Literacy and HWB grid. Instead, as the school year draws to a close, take some time to reflect upon all that you have experienced over the course of the year. We would love to hear about the skills you’ve gained, things you’ve felt proud of and memories you’ve shared. Fill in the boxes and send it to your teacher over on Seesaw. (The PDF Links are much more printer friendly)

Here’s a black and white version if you don’t have a colour printer:

Feel-Good Friday – Sculpture

June 26, 2020 Ms Rees Leave a comment

This Friday we will be once again visiting the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh for our inspiration.

One of my favourite sculptures in the Gallery of Modern Art is ‘Vulcan’. He is an enormous figure constructed from steel, measuring 730 cm in height. He was created by the Scottish artist, Eduardo Paolozzi
