Weekly Home Learning 5: Work Experience

Hi, everyone.

It’s Careers Week!  We have found some fun activities for you to try out at home that explore the different jobs people do.  Have a try at some of the activities and decide which job you think you think you would be good at!  Start off your week by reading a story together and having a think about the different jobs people in your family do.

Here is a nice and funny story that explores lots of different vocations. 😊

Activity 1 Chef

Why not find a simple recipe online for you to make or bake together?   You can learn about the serving side of the business too by helping to set the table and carry the pates or cups over to the table.   BBC Good Food’s ‘Millie’s Cookies’ recipe is one of our favourites to use – here is a link to the recipe and online tutorial.

Activity 2 *Postman/Postwoman *

A random act of kindness and a job opportunity all in one – why not draw a nice picture or get an adult’s help to write a kind message to post to some of your neighbours?

If you are out a walk, how many big, red post-boxes can you find?  Do you know where your local post office is or what the Royal Mail logo looks like?  Google it to see if you can spot it!

Activity 3 Firefighter

This is a really fun idea but you will need lots of adult help! You will also need a garden and a garden hose.  Why not set up some ‘targets’ (empty plastic bottles for example) around your back garden and see if, with some help, you can knock the targets over using just the water hose!  It will give you a good idea of the skills a firefighter might need to use in their job.  How many targets could you knock over?

Activity 4 Engineer

The following are examples of STEM activities.

Engineers are professionals who invent, design and build lots of different things.  Have a go at being an engineer by constructing a den or boat from household objects!

  1. See if you can build a den using any materials you can find! Boxes, bottles, chair cushions, old sheets, anything will do!
  2. Here is a link to the STEM ‘tinfoil’ boat challenge. This link includes a list of resources and a step-by-step guide to the challenge.

Activity 5 Dentist

This link takes you to a fun activity that looks from a dentist view at keeping teeth clean!  I think it could be very adaptable, all you need is the bottom cut off of a plastic 2ltr bottle, an old toothbrush and either just use toothpaste or make your own white paste with 1 tsp of baking soda with water mixed together.

As always, these activities are only suggestions and you are under no obligation to do all or any of them.

Have fun and stay safe – there is nothing more important than that.

[Keep an eye on the blog through the week as the Beech class will post our own work experience challenge ♥]

I can see a rainbow! 🌈

Good morning everyone!

This week the art challenge is all about rainbows. There are lots of rainbows around reminding us to stay safe.

Follow the link below if you would like to try growing you very own.

https://www.thebestideasforkids.com/grow-a-rainbow-experiment/

Alternatively, you may wish to create a collage rainbow. If you don’t have access to coloured paper or paint, then why not use recycled material like empty cereal boxes, crisp packets, magazines, bottle tops… whatever you have!

There is colour all around us, brightening up our day and making us smile.

Take care and stay safe.

Mrs. Macdonald. 🎨 😊

Stars Pea Head and Car Ramp Activities

Mrs Logan has been busy making the Pea Head person from this week’s blog. She decorated a cup with a face, filled it with compost and planted seeds in it. It will be kept well watered in her greenhouse. Mrs Logan used cress seeds instead of peas. She will send you a photo once the cress ‘hair’ has grown.

Mrs Chisholm has built a car ramp with her children. They are having great fun racing cars and seeing how far the cars travel if you make the ramp steeper.

Why don’t you try making these. Send in some photo’s if you do.

Have Fun! Stay Safe! ❤😊

Photo quiz

Hi everyone. Below is the link to the photo quiz. I was messing around in my garden with a lens you can attach to a phone so the photos are all of things close up. There are a few plants. You get points for saying what you see and bonus points for naming the plant (it’s quite tricky so I’ll give 100 bonus points each time).

Enjoy!
