Compare the Supermarkets – Spicy/Hot

10 Comments

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!

Book Club – Reading – Hot – The Ickabog – Chapter 2 + 3

9 Comments

Good morning everyone and welcome back to Methlick’s Book Club!

I hope that you have enjoyed your second week of Expressive Arts fortnight. This week, I have read chapter 2 and 3 of J.K. Rowling’s new book , ‘The Ickabog’. Have you managed to read both chapters?

Our activities this week:

Chapter 2 – Design and draw your version of what you think the Ickabog might look like. Click on the Sway below to see  the illustrations that were sent in.

In Chapter 3, we learned that Fred’s seamstress sadly passes away. Fred appeared to feel guilty for overworking his servant, however his friends, Spittleworth and Flapoon reassured him that he couldn’t be a nicer king. The chapter ended with Fred getting into bed.

In the comments, let’s discuss how Fred might be feeling about the tragic event as he lies in his bed.

Art Appreciation Discussion – Spicy/Hot

6 Comments

Following on from last week’s ‘Become an Art Critic’ post, I thought we could meet up here to have a discussion regarding the paintings.  You can have another look at them here before adding your comments below:

My personal favourite from the ones I posted is number 5 – ‘Starry Night’ by Vincent van Gogh.  It depicts a moonlit scene with a large cypress tree in the foreground and a small town in the background.  The most noticeable thing is, however, the sky.  The artist has used bold, swirling brushstrokes to create a sense of movement.  This makes me think that he may have been upset or agitated when he was painting this.  The cypress tree in the foreground is buffeted by the wind, perhaps reflecting van Gogh’s own inner turmoil.  It is not a calming painting, but I love the colours and the wildness of the  swirling starry sky.

Let’s hear your thoughts!

Health and Wellbeing – Methlick’s Virtual Gallery – Week 2 – Hot

2 Comments

Good morning everyone!

Last week we took a virtual tour of Aberdeen Art Gallery – https://bit.ly/2AR37X5

Let’s create Methlick’s Art Gallery!

Now it is time for you to create your own piece of art. We would like for you to be as creative as possible. Use any medium you wish – it could be a sculpture, painting, drawing or anything else you can think of. Once your masterpiece is finished, complete a short biography for it. This should include information about the artist (you), what you have used to create your piece and the meaning behind your work. Don’t forget to give it a title too!

Click on the Sway below to see everything you will need to complete this activity. An example has also been provided. Good luck and remember to share your work with your class teacher.
