MILD: HWB & Art – Symmetry in Nature

Did you all enjoy your symmetry walks last week?

The pictures you sent in were great some went exploring on their walks and some hunted around their bedrooms.

Today we are going to look at symmetry in nature and complete a painting activity.

You may have to make your own paint, which I found really fun, as I had to be curious and try and make my own colours.

Follow the Sway below to learn more…

MILD: Numeracy – Building Animals using Shapes

Last week we reviewed and extended our knowledge of Shapes. This week we are going to using our knowledge to apply it to an art task.

Some of you have already sent in your drawing following the video on the grid, Well Done!

Today we are going to look at identifying the shapes we need ourselves to create a simple shape drawing.

The sway below gives you ideas on how to identify the shapes you need to create an animal.

Most of the examples only use, Squares, Triangles, Rectangles and Circles. By used differently every time we can create and fish and a snake with just a few changes.

Discuss with family why you are using a certain shape as a neck, or arm or elbow rather than another shape. What qualities does that shape have that makes it the best shape to use?

Have great fun and on Wednesday we will extend this further and create some shadow puppets in the grass.

MILD: Numeracy – Who wants to win at Shape Top Trumps

Have you ever played Top Trumps before?

Ever wanted to make your own?

Today we will using our 2D and 3D shape knowledge.

But first lets enjoy some of our favourite shape songs, some you know, some you don’t. I know you will have a favourite. I’ve had one stuck in my head all week!

After enjoying some of the videos, follow the next sway to investigate the shapes more and learn how to create your trump cards.

Remember if you have older brothers and sisters they could add in shapes that they know to build a bigger deck and you can learn more shape facts together!

Enjoy some friendly competition with the family and review your shape fact knowledge.

MILD: Expressive Art – A Splash of Watercolour.

I have always found watercolour painting beautiful. I enjoy watching the paint spread across the water that is put down first.

It can take some time to learn how to use watercolours correctly, until I learned a little trick that can give the same effect very easily.

Follow the instructions in the sway below.

Once you have completed the activity you can use it as a back ground to stick drawings or pictures on top of. Or you could write your name, quote or phrase on top too.

Remember to share your results with your teacher through seesaw or email. Have a great time with some felt tips and water.

MILD: Literacy: Book Bear Club – Story Mapping

How is everyone’s Book Bears

I know they are all excellent listeners.

Thanks for sharing your book nooks they all look so lovely to sit in and read.

Something that P2 enjoy creating and are also quite skilful in reading is story maps.

Story maps are a great tool to help us remember tales and identify the most important parts of the story.

Here is a few examples from P2. You can use pictures and key words to help you remember the story.

You can chose to do your own book that you have been reading to your bear or chose one of the featured tales, The Angry Ladybird or What’s the Time.

Remember to share your story maps with your teacher on seesaw or email.

Sports Day Wednesday: Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid #6

THEY ARE BACK!

Ready to take on Sports Day!

Both teachers returned to their competitive views on each other after Friday’s Big Night In.

Because it was Health Fortnight, they decided to use the Sport Day Grid you will be using at home, and adapt the tasks so that it could relate to a timed event.

Enjoy this week’s episode of Mr.Mutch vs Mr.Reid.

This week’s challenge:

Sports Day Stations

Both teachers must complete 4 stations in the shortest amount of time. We set up our stations all within a 5 metre shuttle run with the equipment waiting at the side.

We have….

The Shuttle Run, Star Jumps, Tattie and Spoon and the Shoe Throw.

We hope you have fun and remember to comment, email or seesaw your results to get on the leader board.
