Hello Everyone
Hello everyone,
Today as part of Health Week we are focusing on healthy eating.
Why not start your day with a healthy smoothie. I have uploaded 2 easy recipes. The only ingredients you need are strawberries, oranges bananas and milk.
strawberry and banana smoothie
Michael has created a Healthy Food Game to test your knowledge, why not try it out.
At lunch you could try making a Pitta Pocket.ย You will need tomato, cucumber, cheese and a pitta pocket of course. Alternatively you could be a bit more adventurous by making a ratatouille, using courgette, tomato and aubergine. The recipes and visual instructions are uploaded for you to follow.
Ingredients and Resources for Ratatouille
You can listen to and watch some music and a short film about healthy food and keeping yourself healthy.
For tea you could make a Baked Risotto or Healthy Pasta. These recipes were popular in Mull Class this term in Home Economics. The recipes are uploaded for you.
Finally, something sweet. Here is a recipe for a Fresh Fruit Flapjack, made with a soft fruit of your choice.
Hopefully there will be a recipe or activity here for you to try out today as part of Health Week.
Happy cooking and baking and have a great day!

Good morning Skye class
Good morning Skye class,
I hope you are all well and having good time at home! ๐
You all love watching and listening to Makaton songs. I am pretty sure that “Makaton time” is one of your favourite activities at school as you are waiting patiently for your turn to choose your preferred song. There are so many songs that you like: 5 little firemen, The wheels on the bus, Little Peter Rabbit, 3 little monkeys, We’re going to the zoo, Old MacDonald had a farm and many many more…
Today we chose one of your favourite songs “Walking through the jungle”. I hope you like it! ๐
Have a lovely day and you know I am here anytime you want anything!

Science – simple forces!
Good Morning!
This week we have been looking at science.ย Miss Mitrou explored ice and water and Mrs Clarke was looking at floating and sinking.
Today I was going to show you some forces.
Force is what makes things move.ย We looked at some simple forces during our toys topic, like shaking and rolling.
Using items at home you can try some of my ideas to explore what makes things move. Even just spending 5 minutes exploring these ideas can be fun…. I know everyone enjoyed rolling when we did it in class!ย So here are some ideas for rolling.
I made a video about ‘rolling’.ย https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmZkMH2K9ZY&feature=youtu.be&safe=active
You could look in your house for different things and find out whether they can roll?ย ย Rolling on a smooth surface things move faster, and on a bumpy surface outside (or carpet) things move slower?ย You might use a ramp to make things move faster.
But I have some other ideas you might want to explore using different forces. You can move items using blowing (using air to move things).
I made another wee video, this one is about ‘blowing’ .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpkJ-F2_elc&feature=youtu.be&safe=active
You can try blowing a paper ball.ย You can use a straw to blow.ย You can make a fan to move air and move the ball.ย Or get some help and use a hairdryer! What makes the paper ball move the most? Or just have fun blowing bubbles! These experiments are fun to do and help you understand how things move.
Make a fan activity.ย I made another video of me making a very simple fan – all you need is paper (and some pens if you want to decorate it).ย This might be useful when the weather is very hot too – you can use it to blow cool air on your face.ย It is a lovely sensory experience to feel the air!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2WO3mI5xNg&feature=youtu.be&safe=active
Also there is a link below to some sesame street videos all about forces!
https://www.sesamestreet.org/toolkits/stem/force
So lots of ideas to look at – maybe you would like to try one at home. Just to experience the different ways things can move….
The main thing is to have fun!
Stay safe…

Good Morning Skye Class,
Today’s Activity is about Floating and Sinking. I have attached worksheets that you can use or make a template of your own at home. I hope you have fun finding out what items sink or float, you can use the items recommended or other toys if you prefer๐. The most important thing is to have fun! I’ve made a short video just to say hello to you all and show you how to get started. All worksheets and learning intentions are attached to this blog.ย ย https://youtu.be/wi3j23xBBbk
