Week Two

HWB

During this time it is important that we look after ourselves – how are you and your family feeling at this time?

This week you might want to try focusing on one worry, if you have any, and work out strategies that can relieve this worry.

SCIENCE

What do we know about the coronavirus? How does it affect our lungs?

Let’s research how the lungs work? The following websites will help with this and provide a quiz at the end… https://kidshealth.org/en/kids/rsmovhtml?WT.ac=en-k-htbw-main-page-f

ART & DESIGN

Time for a challenge! Can you design your own set of working lungs??

You will need – straws, three balloons, a clear plastic bottle (e.g. empty juice bottle), cellotape and scissors. Take pictures of your models and share them with me via Teams, Mail or Twitter.

Here are some links to help you with the design… https://schoolscienceexperiments.com/simple-science-experiments-for-class-6-lungs-model/ or https://www.science-scom/breathing-making-a-fake-lung/)

You may now want to use your own working lungs to create some art work using blow painting or bubble painting    – https://artful-kids.com/2012/02/02/paint-with-bubbles-3-ways/

Look at some images of paintings by Jackson Pollock: (https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=jackson%20pollock%20paintings%20images&qs=MM&form=QBIR&sp=1&ghc=1&pq=jackson%20pollock%20paintings&sc=8-25&cvid=1300F016F6984BAAB75FABA659CB2EEC) Can you create your own Pollock using one of the techniques above?

Daniel from our class has completed the challenge – here is his design…

LITERACY

Finally let’s finish with a fun poem. Do you have a favourite poem?

Here is one that I enjoy named – ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if you didn’t have a nose’ by Roger McGough:  https://i.pinimg.com/736x/85/3b/76/853b761281b7749445ba10c705f338ce–poems-for-children-childrens-books.jpg
