Mr Reid’s Music Journey – Term 4

4 Comments

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.

Feel-Good Friday – Things To Look Forward To

11 Comments

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.  🙂

Health and Wellbeing – First Aid

3 Comments

British Red Cross have provided the following resource – Life. Live it. First Aid education for children

Click on the following link – https://lifeliveit.redcross.org.uk

British Red Cross believe that first aid is a crucial life skill that everyone can and should learn. They aim for all 5 – 11 year olds in the UK to have the opportunity to learn the skills and gain the confidence to save lives.

This resource is split into four sections:

  • What is First Aid?
  • Stay Safe
  • Help Save Lives
  • Emergency Action

Each section provides a range of activities such as ‘How to’ videos, interactive games and quizzes. Take some time to look through the website and let us know in the comments what you have learned. We would recommend that an adult is present when you are using this website.

At the moment being at home with everyone all the time can be a little stressful, but remember to be nice, as we are all in this together.
Hope you enjoy the link to “BE NICE” and dance🕺🏻💃🏻 along.  We are going to give the moves a go, we might even post a video!  If we get enough likes💯
Personally, we all love colouring and find it very calming.  Enjoy the pictures 🌈we have chosen for you to colour🖍 in.  Maybe think about the quotes 📝in them too.
We would love to see your finished pictures.

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to our last Health Hero for this week, our key focus has been looking at our Mental, Physical and Social Wellbeing.

Dame Evelyn Glennie began to lose her hearing aged 8 and became profoundly deaf aged 12 however this did not stop her in becoming one of the most famous percussionists on an international level.

I’d like to finish this week off with another local hero who embraces all aspects of Music and has achieved so much by showing some determination and having a growth mindset!

We’ll be back Next Tuesday for some sport themed Health Heroes.

As always please leave some comments for Dame Evelyn Glennie to see!
