Guess the Politician Game using KeyNote 🥳🤣

Good morning P6/7 💜💜

How are you all? I hope you enjoyed the long weekend and those of you celebrating Eid had a fantastic time.

Today’s task is based around digital learning. Most of you have your school IPad at home so I hope you’ll be able to see this KeyNote presentation I’ve made. Hearing and reading all the news about Covid-19 can sometimes be quite overwhelming and there are lots of negative stories going around at the moment, so I thought I’d have some fun and create this little task for you.

What you need to do is guess the name of the politician in the image. You could use the background in some of them to help you – I’ve chosen images with the name of the political party in the background. Another clue might be if you can guess the gender of the person based on jewellery they are wearing etc.

Post your answers in the comments. When you have completed this task, you could create a similar presentation and a quiz for us and email me it. Remember we recreated  the image of Robert Burns? You can scroll back on the blog to find them.

 





Good luck, let me know how you get on. Have a great day.
Missing you all loads, Miss McCue xx

Some of your work 🤩👏🏼

space ppt

Clink the link above and check out this PowerPoint Mansoor made all about space. Thanks for sharing Mansoor 🤩❤️ You guys could use PowerPoint on your iPad to create a presentation on something you are interested in. You can then email me it if you want to share your learning.

Auzair has been keeping busy with his maths work and is challenging himself as always. Keep up this amazing work Auzair, you’re doing great 🤩❤️

Abeeha has been taking on the role of teacher and helping her younger siblings with some activities. Your caring nature would make you an excellent teacher Abeeha. 🤩❤️

Ibrar had a wonderful time celebrating Eid with his family. They all look fantastic and Ibrar is looking extra beautiful here. ❤️❤️

Remember to send me photos of some of your work and we can share our learning together.

Eid Mubarak 💜💜

Today, lots of you will be celebrating Eid. I know it is very different this year but I hope you can still enjoy the time with those you have around you. 💜💜

I’m SO SO proud of all of you and your dedication and commitment to your faith. You’re knowledgeable of your own religion and respectful of other religions, that’s very impressive.

The staff at our school have been carrying out kind acts, making traditional food and enjoying spending time with family. We hope you enjoy the video we created for you… 

Have a fantastic time celebrating, you deserve it 💜💜

Smiling Faces ☺️❤️

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to see Coral, Abeeha and Ibrahim. ❤️❤️ This certainly cheered me up and I was so happy to see their smiling faces. I’m not sure if Ibrahim was so happy to see me though hmmm?

It’s so important for you guys to stay in touch with each other as much as possible so please try and speak to people from our class and check that they’re OK. Lockdown is really difficult and we need to make sure that we are taking care of each other. Get in touch with people, chat to them, make sure they’re OK. You are all so kind and thoughtful so make sure you’re showing that during this time please.

Have a great day and I’m sending you lots of love,

Miss McCue xx 💚💚

 

Creative Literacy and Digital Literacy

Good morning all 💜💜

I hope everyone is feeling fantastic today. Can I just say thanks to those who sent me a short clip yesterday for Coral’s birthday video. It made me so happy to see your faces and hear your voices. You are all so kind and loving, I’m so proud of you. 💚💚

Before I set the tasks, I just want to remind you that you don’t need to do all of the tasks, or any of the tasks. You do what you can but I don’t want anyone to feel stressed trying to complete all of the work. I try to set tasks which I know you should be able to do on your own and set revision of learning we have done in the past. If you can’t remember something, contact me and I will help you. 😊👍

If you can, please leave a comment on the blog so that I know you can see what I’m posting. If you need your glow email from me, WhatsApp me and I will give it to you again. Sometimes it can be strange for me to be talking to myself on this 🤣🤣 and boring, cause I’m so boring and you’re all much more fun and exciting than me.

Here’s a task you can do with your iPad. The task is to create a book using the PAGES app on your iPad. We’ve used this app before in class but if you can’t remember how it works, play around with it and then you’ll learn more about it. Also, watch this video for ideas and some guidance on how to use the app. 

I know you can’t get onto YouTube on your ipad which is very annoying but if you have another device in the house like a laptop or someone’s phone, can you use that to watch the video and then you can complete the task on your iPad?

Ideas for what you’re book could be about:

  • Your time in lockdown so far
  • Your Ramadan experience this year 
  • What is Eid? How is it celebrated? Why is it celebrated? 
  • Things you are looking forward to doing after lockdown
  • Covid 19 – what it is, where it came from, what impact it has had on our world, what impact it has had on our country, what impact it has had on you personally
  • Your favourite music artist, footballer, cricketer etc. 
  • A how to survive lockdown guide by ‘Your Name’

You choose what to create a book about, as long as it is appropriate obviously. You have the freedom to be creative here so enjoy the task.

You can send me your book as an email or else video it on your iPad using another device and send it to me via WhatsApp.

Enjoy, have fun and have a great day. ☺️😊

Missing you all lots and can’t wait to see you, 

Miss McCue xx
