Fairtrade Family Challenge – Competition Time!!

Competition Time!!!!

Watch the video linked here ‘Guardians of the Rainforest’: https://schools.fairtrade.org.uk/resource/guardians-of-the-rainforest/

It follows the life of a boy named Beshey who lives and farms in the Gola Rainforest . If you are in P1-3 you could ask an adult to sit with you and help you take notes. If you are P4-7 try to take notes on your own whilst watching the video.

What do you see in the Gola Rainforest?

How does Beshey live and farm?

Where does he live?

Your task this week is to create a picture of the rainforest/visualizer from what you have learned from Beshey living in Gola. Try to put in as much detail as you can. You can label your drawing.

We will be looking for the most creative and detailed drawings and visualizers.

This is a competition so do your best!!

Ask an adult to upload your pictures to the blog as a reply to this post. We will judge as a staff and a winner from each stage will be given a certificate and house points.

Have fun!! Remember to use the video to help create your picture/ visualizer.

CLOSNG DATE FOR ENTRIES – Monday 4^th May 2020

Please send entries to : rmeimaroglou@chapelgreen.n-lanark.sch.uk

Chapelgreen and Banton Partnership Family Challenges

Chapelgreen and Banton Partnership Schools

Family Learning Challenges

We know how hard it can be when you have more than one child working on different things during the course of the week. To try to address this and to perhaps help ease some of the difficulties, we have developed some family learning challenges.

These challenges reflect the work we have started in school and work that had been planned as part of our pupil committees, assemblies and curricular developments this term.

We will issue these challenges once a week and we would love to encourage you and your child/ren to participate together. This work can be completed in place of a piece of topic work and the class teachers will adjust their weekly planning to reflect this.

As we have a wide range of ages within our school, we will provide a choice of two tasks within the challenge for most weeks. You can, however, choose the task which you feel is most appropriate for you and your family. (Or just the one you like the sound of most!)

Certificates and points to be won for the weekly challenge winners

This week’s challenge follows our Fairtrade theme and will be posted on the school blog shortly.

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact.

Hope you are continuing to stay safe and well.

Time to play!!!

Good morning,

I hope you and your family are keeping well during this very unusual and difficult time.

I hope your children are enjoying being at home.

Play is more crucial than ever before as it is beneficial on so many levels, emotional, physical and imaginative amongst many.

So please continue to encourage and support both free and structured play.

Here is a link for this week’s play grid. Indoor and Outdoor Play 3

There are lots of fun indoor and outdoor activities for your children to participate in.

Please continue to stay safe and well.

Fairtrade Family Learning Fun

Good morning,

I hope you are all safe and well. Before the holidays we were learning about Fairtrade in assembly and in class. We even made Fairtrade banana bread and cookies. They were delicious!

As we cannot continue this learning in school for the moment we would like the pupils to engage in some family learning at home.

Family Learning Challenge

This challenge can be completed as a family if you have more than one child at the school. Choose whichever activity you find most suitable for your family situation and the resources and time you have on hand.

1- Watch the video clip using the link below…

https://schools.fairtrade.org.uk/resource/fairtrade-story-a-fair-tale/

2 – Look at the home learning activity grids attached to this post and choose an activity to complete. Please note that there are two grids, one for younger children and one for older children. You can choose one activity from either grid depending on what suits you best as a family.

3 – Once you have completed your challenge, depending on what you have done, you can email it to:

rmeimaroglou@chaplegreen.n-lanark.sch.uk

Or feel free to post a picture in a reply to this blog post. Whatever is easier for you.

Indoor and Outdoor Play- Early Level

I hope our pupils have had a wonderful Easter break. I am sure they will have had plenty of opportunity for lots of play both indoor and outdoor, especially with this lovely weather.

Play is an essential part of every child’s life and is vital for the enjoyment of childhood as well as social, emotional , intellectual and physical development.

I have attached a link to a play grid for early years. This will be updated every fortnight.

If you would like to email any photographs of your children completing these activities these will be uploaded to our school blog. rmeimaroglou@chapelgreen. n-lanark.sch.uk

Stay safe and well. Happy playing!!

Home Learning

We will be posting activities for our learning community on this school and nursery blog from Monday 23.3.20. There will be a mixture of written, online and practical activities.

Try to keep a routine going in the house, with specific learning times and breaks. Pupils can be learning practical skills at home too, such as preparing snacks, helping in the garden, sorting the laundry etc.

Follow us on twitter, (Chapelgreen_PS) as we will be following sites that will provide additional activities and daily challenges.

Don’t forget to get exercise in too! Lots of opportunities will be offered through the tv and other sites.

We are always hopeful that this situation will resolve sooner and we can get back to having everyone at school. Fingers crossed!

The Chapelgreen Team

Here are a few ideas from NLC to get you going:

Early The final two years of early learning and childcare before a child goes to school and P1, or later for some.

First To the end of P4, but earlier or later for some.

Second To the end of P7, but earlier or later for some.
