11th Jan Art Ideas :)

Good Morning!

I hope you all enjoyed a lovely Christmas break.

Please find attached a few art activities that we will be doing in school this week. You are welcome to try these out at home.

Design a Hedgehog!

  • Use different shapes, colours or textures to create some hedgehog spikes.
  • Could you use natural materials? Twigs or leaves from the garden or your local park?

Pulled String Art

  • You will need paper, string and paint or ink.
  • Does positioning the string on different areas of the card create layers?

Scottish Tartan 

  • Try using the website to search for a Clan tartan.

https://clan.com/help/tartan-help/how-find-family-clan-tartan

  • Do you have any items in your house which are designed in tartan?  Look closely at the pattern. Do you see straight lines or curved lines? How many different colours are there?
  • Have a look at some tartan being hand woven. It is a super skilled job!

Remote Learning Activities – Week 1

Good morning, Beech! 

This week in the Beech class, Mrs Wilson and Mrs McCreath will be doing a topic called ‘Feed the Birds’.  To tie in with some of the activities the class will  be doing in school, I have thought of some activities you can do at home!

Literacy

In class we will be reading a story called ‘The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark’.  Here is a link to the story on YouTube if you want to listen, too.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FcxGheSihk

A good idea for practising letter formation and fine motor skills is to make a sensory tray.  Fill a wide and shallow tray or dish with fine sprinkle materials – we suggest bird seed this week if you have any!  But any kind will do.  See if you can trace out the different letters in some bird names such as ‘O’, ‘W’ and ‘L’.  Alternatively, you can practise filling, scooping and pouring using different cups and spoons, this helps hand-eye coordination and motor skill development.

 Numeracy

Draw a simple set of owl templates in different sizes onto bits of card or paper.  A family of three would be perfect!

While out in the garden or on your daily walk, gather a variety of leaves and twigs.  Now, see if you can make the owl’s feathers with the leaves and twigs!

  • Can you make a baby owl with 3 leaf feathers?
  • Can you make a Mummy owl with 6 leaf feathers?
  • Can you make a Daddy owl with 8 leaf feathers?
  • How many twigs does it take to cover an owl?

 

Health and Wellbeing/Life-Skills

Owl Toast Recipe!  You don’t have to stick to the exact ingredients – get creative!

Art and Design 

Here are the instructions you can choose to follow to make a very simple bird feeder!  Don’t worry if you don’t have the exact products, you can improvise!  Use the RSPB website to check that the products you use are bird-friendly though! https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/advice/how-you-can-help-birds/feeding-birds/safe-food-for-birds/

Please remember that these activities are optional.  Be kind to yourself and only do what you can.  please feel free to send us any photos of your young people enjoying their time at home.  Note that blog activities will be posted here every Monday morning, as well as any instructions for our Vscene activities for the week.  Take care and be safe.

Hello Oak friends, it is the start of a new year.  It is already a new year with a difference.  We are sad that we are not able to return to the classroom to learn together.  For now, we will be learning remotely and we will check in every week.  We look forward to seeing you all on Vscene and taking part in some activities.

There will be a selection of activities that cover literacy, numeracy, and Health and well-being.  Please click on the week commencing date 11th Jan and it will take you to the activities.   Try them out and repeat them throughout the week. We learn and consolidate our learning by repeating activities.

     

There is no pressure to complete all the tasks go at your own pace and do what you can.  If you do complete any activities we would love to see some photos.  We will share your photos on our class blog and all your friends can see what you have been up to. Please email your photos to nicola.murray@eastayrshire.org.uk

Routine and structure are important for us all to manage through this uncertain time.  Plan your day of activities before going to bed, set an alarm, get up have breakfast and start your day.  Do not forget to add in daily exercise and fresh air, a short walk will help everyone feel better.

Stay home, stay safe and smile.

Hello Snowdrops!

We are missing you all in school and hope it won’t be long until we are all together again.  You may have your lockdown pack of activities to keep you busy, but we will also post some fun activities every week for you to try at home with adult help. The Snowdrops always enjoy learning about animals, so here are some animal related tasks.

Literacy – In class, we enjoy watching and listening to Makaton Stories.  So this week, you could look at the Dear Zoo story being told by Singing Hands.  You can also practise your Makaton animal signs.  Here is the link for you to find and enjoy watching the story at home.

Numeracy – Now for some animal counting – This counting song is a Snowdrop favourite! So I’m sure there will be lots of smiles when you play this.

Try to say some numbers, point or simply watch all the fish appearing and moving.

HWB – Moovlee the monkey always keeps us active in class.  So, we’re going to keep thinking about animals and follow Moovlee to make animal poses and moves.

Home Economics – We like touching, smelling and eating different fruits.  It’s also fun to make different shapes with your fruit pieces and here are some ideas for animal shapes. Ask an adult to help you.

 

Maybe you have some play doh at home and could make some fruit shapes with play doh too.  Can you count how many pieces of fruit you make?  Or sign and say what colour they are?

Finally – If you just want some sensory relaxation, here are some links to underwater animal relaxing music to lie or sit quietly and listen to.

FAOL – SCIENCES

**Successful Learners    ** Effective Contributors

We collected natural items from the garden to make winter ice ornaments. We filled plastic trays with these items then filled with water. Left outside, overnight, they froze to form natural decorations which we hung in the garden. They glinted in the sunshine. If it stays cold we hope to still see them after the weekend however if it gets warmer will they melt? We’ll just have to wait and see.
