I am a writer
Joseph Coelho
I am the clash and collide of the stars because I create worlds.
I am the awareness of the trees because I hear the wind.
I am the sweat of a rainbow because I refract all the colours.
I am the blood in a pen because I ink arteries.
I am the blade in a sharpener because I make nibs vanish.
I am the edge of a rubber,
rounded, worn and softened by mistakes.
I am the conversation of notes, discussing melodies.
I am the holes in a flute, knower of unknown tunes.
I am the skin of a drum. Every hit, beat and bang bouncing off me,
forming music from nothing.
p. 54 Werewolf Club Rules by Joseph Coelho
Music is normally a Tuesday but changed to Thursday this week. Here is something to get you started. We’ll be posting much more in the weeks to come, so keep an eye out for us here.
Try this song maker experiment: https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Song-Maker/
The best way is just to explore it and find out what it all does using your ears. You can adjust the tempo (speed) at the bottom, as well as changing the sounds next to the play button (bottom right).
Once you get to grips with it and have created something you like the sound of, it would be great if you could hit save, then copy the link below as a comment below. That way we should all be able to hear each others’ music!
Here’s a link to one we wrote earlier. Hope you like it 😀

Looking forward to hearing all the great music soon

Time to get outdoors to do some maths and numeracy work! Below are a list of tasks and activities that you could try.
Data handling: Cars
Create a tally chart for different colours of cars. Have a look out at the road and keep a tally chart of how many cars you see going past.
| Colour | Tally | Total |
| red | III | 3 |
| blue | IIII | 4 |
| silver | II | 2 |
| other | IIII | 4 |
Registration plate game
Looking at car registration plates, use the numbers to create numeracy questions.
example: the numbers on this plate are 5 and 7.
Estimating and Time
Now try the same activity but instead of running try:
Have fun outside and make the most of the good weather. Share your learning with your teacher on Seesaw.
The forecast for today is meant to be dry, so we thought it would be fun for you all to engage with some outdoor literacy activities. Below are a list of tasks you could try.
Chalk Alphabet:
If you have chalks, you could write out the alphabet on the pavement. Put a ring round each letter. Now hop from one letter to the next to spell out some tricky words:
Alphabet scavenger hunt
While on your daily exercise, try to spot an object for each letter of the alphabet. Write a list of what you found.
Registration plate spelling
As you look at the cars parked or moving, look at the first and last letter on the plate. Can you make words that start and end with those letters?

example: first letter C last letter E
Share your work with your teacher on Seesaw! Good luck and have fun.
Obstacle Course Challenge
With hopefully dry weather today, why don’t you get outside and use some chalk to create an obstacle course. You could set yourself a target to complete it within a set amount of time, or do it 10, 20 or more times to get your heart rate up and keep fit!
Why don’t you ask your parent, carer, brother or sister to beat your best time?
If you don’t have chalk perhaps you could improvise? Use outdoor materials, eg sticks and stones to represent different movements, for example, run from the first stone to the second stone, hop from the stick to the next stick, jump from one dandelion to the next, etc.
We would love to see photos of your obstacle courses!
Esti-Mystery
Mrs Stevenson from the Renfrewshire Attainment Team has filmed a video about Esti-mysteries. If you have never done an Esti-mystery before, this is a really great video to watch. Follow the instructions along with the video and pause when you need to, to allow yourself thinking time.
You will need a pencil, paper and 100 number square. An interactive 100 square can be found on this site if you do not have one: https://mathsbot.com/manipulatives/hundredSquare The number square will help you eliminate possible answers.
Extension Task – Here is an Esti-mystery from Steve Wyborney’s website. Have a go and let us know how you do? Do you like Esti-mysteries? Could you make your own Esti-mystery?
Reading Comprehension Task
Today we have set a challenge on the ‘Epic’ reading site. All you have to do is log on to getepic.com and enter your class code:
Mrs Murphy’s Class: ple8017
Miss Harvey’s Class: mhh6886
Miss McPhee’s Class: bqu2156
Select the Avatar with your name.
You have been assigned to read the 1st chapter for the book ‘Kid Scientists’. You may want to read it on your own or with someone at home. The first chapter is the childhood story of the amazing Katherine Johnson who made significant developments for NASA in the 1960s.
Once you have read this chapter then you can complete the quiz at the end. How much information can you remember?
Mental Health Awareness Week
We all need to look after ourselves and others in uncertain times. Have a look at the grid below and see what you can do to brighten someone’s day!
Doing something nice for someone else also boosts your own self esteem. Pick something from the grid or think of something else that you know will make someone’s day! You may want to continue your small gestures over the next few days. Let your teacher know what selfless acts you have done for others!
Magic Squares Challenge
Have a look at the Maths problem below. Each of the lines vertically, horizontally and diagonally must add up to 15 but you can only use the numbers given once. Can you complete the challenge? If you started with all blank squares and used the numbers 1-9, could you solve in a different way?
Finished? Photograph your work and send to your teacher. Why don’t you login to Sumdog and compete in Renfrewshire’s Sumdog Competition – Ends Thursday!!
