Literacy: MILD: Bee Fact Files with Special Guests!

17 Comments

It’s time to get writing!

I have enlisted the help of some amazing bee keepers to help us with this grid task. From just a small request they have produced an amazing amount of videos filled with lots of facts for us to listen to!

To help with writing the factfile there is also the youtube link on the grid. In the sway at the beginning you will see a checklist you can use when watching the videos. When we are listening out for facts it is always a good idea to know what you are listening out for.

Please enjoy the interview with our special guest! 

Bee Keepers Go LIVE!

Are you ready to start writing? 

In your journal you will need a blank page.

You can save the top of the page for when we do our picture and labelling next week.

You can choose how many sentences filled with facts you would like to write.

If you are describing the bee…. your sentence may start with.

It has… 

The bee has… 

If you are telling us about where it lives… your sentence may start with.

It lives in… 

The bee stays in… 

You can find bees in… 

 

If you are telling us about what the bee does… your sentence may start with.

The bee will… 

The bee must… 

Bees can… 

If you are telling us some interesting facts… I’m going to leave that to you as you might find a fact our bee keepers or myself have never heard of.

Enjoy writing your factfiles with the help of our Amazing Bee Keepers!

HWB: MILD – Emotional Crayons

1 Comment
Morning Everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying our mini project on conflict with our featured story ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’.

After reading or listening to the story a few times we notice that the crayons are expressing their feelings to Duncan as to why they have quit and left Duncan.

Use the questions below and discuss the family members, everyone might have different answers as it is their opinion.

Can you describe what each crayon is feeling?

What words can you find in each letter that tell you their emotion?

Which crayon do they feel most sorry for, and why?

Which crayon seems happiest and why do they say this?

Which crayon would they most like to cheer up?

What could they do to make one of the crayons feel happier?

Which crayon is the angriest one and why?

What could Duncan do to calm this crayon down?

Use the sway below to go through some examples.

Flower of power Resource 

#EveryCrayonCounts

The Crayons all come from the same box, they are all apart of a larger team. Just like you and your family we can all have different emotions but we should all still come together.

Follow the link below to make your own every crayon counts sign to share with family.

Your answers are in!

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey.

When you gather in information it can be called ‘raw data’ like raw chicken you can’t do much with it, so you have to do something in order for it to be used. For instance, cooking the chicken or presenting the data in a way that is readable.

Below is a list of the data that has been collated. Your task is to use the data given and present it in a readable manner. This could be in the form of a pictogram, bar graph or pie chart.  Look through the sway below on suggestions and reminders when presenting the information.

The raw data.

Do you have a pet?  Yes (17) No (7)
How many pets do you have?   One (9)  two-three (2)  four-six (3)  more than seven (3)

Outdoor Learning Grid 1: Mild Challenge: Rainbow Scavenger Hunt

Leave a comment

Rainbow Scavenger Hunt

Which rainbow colours are outdoors at this time of year?

Print off the sheet in the mild links and add double sided sticky tape

or

use an egg box to collect items in 

or

make your own collection sheet to hunt for items to match the colours of the rainbow.

If you collect leaves and petals you could have a go at pounding them with a hammer or rubbing them onto a piece of thick paper to collect rainbow colours.

Take care, ask an adult for a safe tool to use.

“Yesterday morning when the sun was shining and it was dry I went outside and searched for rainbow colours and…”

Look through the sway below to find out more about what I did.
