22nd Feb Art Ideas :)

Good morning! I hope you are all well and keeping safe.

The sun is shining and there are snowdrops beginning to bloom in the parks. Therefore, our art focus this week, will be about flowers!

Make a Wish Dandelions!

  • Draw a simple dandelion shape and use finger paints to add the fluffy seeds. Alternatively you could use felt tips or scrunched paper.
  • Have you ever blown on a dandelion and made a wish?
  • If you visit the local park you might be able to spot some dandelions growing amongst the grass.

Cotton Bud Flowers!

    

  • Perhaps you could use some cotton buds to create ‘petals’.
  • What else could you use? Pasta? Bottle tops? Coins?
  • What is your favourite flower?

Have a look at the spring flowers video.

Stay safe!

Oak Home Learning 22nd Feb

Hello my lovely Oak team, let’s get started with another weeks worth of work.

Please click on this weeks date to download all your tasks presented in our weekly overview document.  22nd Feb

February is LGBT month and this Friday is ‘Purple Friday’.  We haven’t been all together to complete the work planned.  However last week on Vscene we completed some work to lead us into the activities for this week.  We will continue to do more work for LGBT month during our Vscene this week.

You have a few stories to listen to on Youtube, one you will know well as it is Mrs Murray’s favourite book! The other is a new one which we will read together on our Vscene session.  Both stories are based on Kindness, Acceptance, Respect, Support and Spirit.  The main moral of both stories, be proud of who you are and never change to be like anyone else.

     

Your task for Purple Friday, on a purple piece of paper, can you get an adult to draw you a Chameleon and stick this onto the purple paper.  I would like your chameleon to be your very own design, you can decorate it anyway you want.  On your paper, add your name in big letters.  This chameleon is going to represent you.  Also add a rainbow onto your purple paper.  I am looking forward to seeing your pictures on our Vscene session on Friday morning.

Also, on your daily walk this week, keep an eye out for a stone.  If you find one, take it home, wash it and write ‘Hope’ on it.  Take a picture of you holding your stone and please email to Mrs Murray.

All the adults in the Oak team have HOPE that we will all be back together soon, having fun together and learning!

Oak Home Learning 8th Feb

Hi Oak team, Mrs Murray has ran into some technology issues and her laptop has died on her! So apologises for the work this week not being in our usual format.

Thankfully almost everyone has collected your February packs.

It is the week leading up to Valentine’s Day and for the past few years our cupid class have been the delivery service for Willowbank.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide this service this year.  However you can still have a think about who you would like to send a special message to.

I would like you to create and design a card for someone. This person should be someone you care alot about, someone who cares for you  a lot, makes you feel safe and makes you happy when you feel sad. I would love to see your cards, email me a picture of your cards if you can nicola.murray@eastayrshire.org.uk

This week your home learning tasks are as follows;

 

 

 

 

 

 

Work through this section of initial sounds, can you get the first letter.

Some of you will be able to write each picture in your best hand writing. Some of you will be able to work on writing and forming the first letter of each picture.

Do not forget to sign and finger spell each picture too.

If you are up for a challenge, ask an adult to call out one of the pictures and try and remember how to spell it. 1 point for getting the first letter correct, 2 points for spelling the full word correctly.

Your numeracy task this week is to work on your coins.

Can you ask an adult for all the coins from 1p through to £2. Can you get the bingo money cards from your folder and take on our money challenge.

I challenge you to be blind folded and feel one coin at a time. Ask an adult to help you, they can ask you to think about the size and shape. An adult will remove the coin from your hand, you can remove your blind fold and look at the bingo card. Can you guess which coin you were holding?

Then everyone in the family take a bingo card and play a game, who will be the coin bingo champion in your family!

Time to get moving to keep us healthy. We all need to look after our head. If your head feels happy then you will have a good day. The best way to keep your head happy is to get your body moving every morning before you start your hard work. So you and your family please remember this message from Mrs Murray!

Remember, ‘Healthy Body, Healthy Head means Healthy You’.

To get active, complete the exercises from the sheet below (you will find this in your February pack). Can you complete each exercise for 1 minute with a 30 second rest in between each exercise.

Can you do all these exercises for three rounds, giving you a half hour exercise programme.

Cooking: Have a go at trying to make some oat flapjacks. Get an adult to read the instructions to you. Can you listen and complete each task one step at a time.

Health and Wellbeing

My Body- Your task this week, find the tooth brushing sheet in your folder, cut them all out.  Discuss with an adult what is happening in each picture and then stick them down in the correct order.

Once you have created your poster can you pin this up in your bathroom.

Remember to brush your teeth in the morning and before going to bed. This will keep your smile looking lovely and you very handsome!

I want to finish with saying, I am very pleased with how well you are all doing, we all know this is very hard for you and your family. We are all desperate to be back together, have some fun whilst learning and working hard.

Well done Oak Team! 🤗
