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
Click on the Sway to find out more about your Feel-Good Friday activity! I hope you have fun creating it.
I hope that you have enjoyed your second week of Social Studies fortnight. This week, I have read chapter 7, 8 and 9 of J.K. Rowling’s new book , ‘The Ickabog’. Have you managed to read all three chapters?
Chapter 7 – Create a character profile for one of the characters that we have met.
Chapter 8 – Imagine that you live in Cornucopia – What issue would you bring to the king on the Day of Petition?
Chapter 9 – In no more than a paragraph, can you summarise the events of chapter 9?

Today, rather than posting a Sway, I’m going to share some art activities from the National Galleries of Scotland.
Each week, throughout the lockdown, they have been posting ideas for creative projects for children, including mud painting, spiral finding, map drawing, and bangle making.

Have fun!
I hope that you have enjoyed your first week of Social Studies fortnight. This week, I have read chapter 4, 5 and 6 of J.K. Rowling’s new book , ‘The Ickabog’. Have you managed to read all three chapters?
This week we focused on answering a set of Comprehension questions. You were asked to complete the questions in your Home Learning Journal and share your answers with your class teacher.
In the comments, can you share one of your answers to the questions that were provided?
In keeping with our ‘Scotland’ theme, here are some more anagrams for you to unscramble.
This time, the answers are all names of cities, towns and villages around Scotland. The majority are located in the North-East, though there are a couple from farther away.
Let me know how you get on!
Are you all organised? Have you got the following:
Most importantly, are you excited!?
Part 2 will focus on our visit to the zoo. So what are you waiting for? Click on the Sway below and let’s get going!
Today’s maths challenge is related to our ‘Money’ theme. You will be given a shopping list and challenged to find the best value online supermarket.
A minimum of 2 supermarkets should be selected, however if you wish a slightly HOTTER challenge you can, of course, choose more.
Instructions and a shopping list are contained in the Sway.
Ensure that you stick to the guidelines, and keep an eye open at all times for any special offers, such as ‘3 for 2’ or ‘Buy-One-Get-One-Free’ as these offer good value for money.
Remember to post your results on Seesaw or write them in your jotter, and come back to the Blog to tell us how you got on!
