Good morning P4. I hope you all had a super weekend in the lovely sunshine. We spent all our weekend playing in the garden, Eva in her paddling pool and having a BBQ.  I would love to hear what you have all been up to.

This morning your assignments will go live at 9am and I will be on here between 11-12pm and 2-3pm to answer any questions you have regarding work or if you just need a chat. They do not need to be completed until Wednesday giving you a few days to complete. Tuesday and Wednesday’s assignments will go live at 9am tomorrow.

This week is Virtual Sports Week where Mr Smith will be providing sports activities on the blog. There will be two activities each day which you will score. At the end of the week you have to email your scores to either your House Captain or Mr Smith and all the scores will be added together to find the overall Sports Week House Champions. Remember to check the school blog each day.

Kindness Path- rock painting

In my hometown there is a group called Annick Rocks!  Boys and girls paint rocks and hide them around the town for others to find.  When you find one you take it and hide it somewhere new for someone else to find.  Unfortunately due to what is happening just now it is not safe for boys and girls to pick up stones, so instead they have been painting their stones and creating a kindness path in the park leading to a fairy garden.  I thought it would be a lovely idea if you all painted your own and started your own kindness path at home for your own garden.  When we return to school, and it is safe to do so, we can bring our rocks in and make a kindness path in the school garden.  Happy painting!

Good morning P$A. It is a beautiful day and you should get out into the sunshine and enjoy.

No new assignments but here is a competition you may wish to enter as I know you love reading and drawing.

I shall be online from 10 till 11 then 1.30 till 2.30.

Literacy Tuesday 19^th May & Wednesday 20^th May

Complete only Task 1 and Task 2.  If you don’t have a dictionary at home then look the words up online.  If using the internet leave the page number column blank.

Dictionary skills

Family game

You can play this with anybody in your house who is free or you can do it on your own.

Word Race: Each family member will need paper and a pencil for this game. Family members take turns to choose a word for play by randomly choosing a page of the dictionary and then finding the longest word on the page. The chooser writes the word on a piece of paper and places it in centre of table. Each family member then writes as many words as they can, using only the letters of the chosen word, in a two-minute time limit. The winner of each round is the person who finds the most words. You can increase the difficulty of the game by making a rule that words must have at least four letters.

 

Bug Club

Continue with your Bug Club reading book.  Remember to refer to the text to help you answer in full.

This week, we should like you to watch a DVD of your choice and take notes while you are watching it.

 

DVD & Comic Strip (to be handed in by Friday 22^nd May)

This week, we would like you to watch a DVD of your choice and take notes while you are watching it. Then, we would like you to create an amazing comic strip to retell the story you watched. This should be on a piece of paper and divided into little boxes with each box telling a different part of the story, or on computer using a drawing package or creative typing. You have a few days to do this so enjoy the movie with your family and popcorn and then make up a fabulous Comic Strip.

I’ve attached a Comic Strip Template but you don’t have to use this if you other ideas.

Have fun.

 

Nature Collage

Go exploring in your garden and collect interesting and odd things in a bag or a bucket.  Create your own art masterpiece using the items you have collected.  You can glue these to a piece of card or paper or make a design on the garden path.  You can use any additional supplies you may have in the house to help you complete your creations.  Look at the link below for some inspiration.  I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
