Biography of an Artist – Spicy/Hot

2 Comments

Today you are going to be learning about some of the features of a biography before planning and writing your own.

I have suggested that you base your biography on an artist but, as our theme this fortnight is Expressive Arts, please feel free to choose an artist, sculptor, architect, musician, dancer or actor as your subject.

The Sway below contains all the information required for you to create your biography.

Don’t forget to set your work out neatly, taking a new paragraph every time there is a change of subject.  Please share your completed biography with your teacher, and don’t forget to come back on the Blog to let me know how you got on.   😊

Feel-Good Friday – Fun with Fruit and Veg

5 Comments

For the final day of our Health Fortnight, I thought we could have a bit of fun.  You know how adults always tell you, “Don’t play with your food”?  Well, now’s your chance!

Today’s Feel-Good activity combines creativity with imagination AND healthy food.  Have you guessed what it is yet?

Your challenge is to make a fabulous creature using only fruit and vegetables.

Have a look!

Do remember to ask for an adult’s permission before taking any food to do this activity,  and make sure that you are being supervised if you are using any sharp kitchen utensils.

If you would like to email me photos, I can make a Sway to show everyone what you have created.  Have fun!

Anagrams – Fruits and Vegetables

15 Comments

Good morning, everyone.

As it’s the last week of our Health Fortnight, I thought I would choose something healthy for my Literacy challenge.  All the answers to today’s anagrams are names of fruits and vegetables.

If you haven’t tried working out an anagram before – it’s easy!  Just unscramble the letters in each question to form the name of a fruit or vegetable.  I find the easiest way to do this is to write down all the letters in random order on a piece of paper.  You can also cut them up and rearrange them that way, moving them around until you work it out.

Click on the Sway to take part.  Good luck!

Play Sumdog with Mr Reid and Miss Deans – Spicy/Hot – Numeracy – Term 4 – Week 6

Leave a comment

Good morning everyone

If your child has a Sumdog account, they will be able to play with Mr Reid and Miss Deans between 12pm – 1pm today.

Mr Reid will be playing – High Rise

Miss Deans will be playing – Pier Walk 

Each game will start on a 5 minute interval, meaning that the first game will start at 12pm, then 12.05pm, 12.10pm etc.

When selecting ‘Who do you want to play against?’ – Select ‘Class’.

We have added every teacher to each class, so we should all be able to play together!

We look forward to playing Sumdog with you all.

Make a Healthy (Home) Packed Lunch

3 Comments

Hopefully you have all been helping out at home making food to eat during lockdown and you have realised that it’s important to eat well to keep you healthy. We know shopping for food has been more challenging during this time and understand that you may not have access to foods you would normally have so for the final task be as creative as possible and imagine what you would love to have.

Task 1 – Learn more about the Eatwell plate.

Although we all like a sweet treat or two at times we know this is not what we should eat every day. Have a look at the NHS information found here which shows what we should eat. You do not need to achieve this balance with every meal, but try to get the balance right over a day or even a week.

The Eatwell Guide

Task 1 – Read the information on the website above and answer the questions in the Sway.

Task 2 – Using the information from above can you design a HEALTHY packed lunch and include a portion of food from each food group? I have made one in this Sway. Have I managed to include food from each food group?

Task 3 – Can you design an imaginary sandwich? This could be your favourite sandwich or a totally made up one. For example Marshmallows and chocolate spread. (Healthy or unhealthy? Do you think your sandwich is healthy or unhealthy? Would you eat it?)

The 24-Hour Clock – Spicy/Hot

5 Comments

Good morning, everyone.  I hope you are well and enjoying the second ‘Health and Wellbeing’ week.

As our Numeracy focus is still ‘Time’, I have made the following Sway on the subject of the 24-hour clock.  I hope you find it useful.

There is also an activity to convert analogue times into 24-hour digital times, and some links to websites featuring a variety of follow-up activities to practise your time-telling ability.

Don’t forget to save any work to your Seesaw class journal, or write the answers in your jotters.

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.
