Health and Wellbeing – Coping Toolbox

While we are not at school it is still important to focus on our health and wellbeing and talk about our emotions. For this activity I would like you and an adult to do this activity together. You are going to create your own separate toolboxes which will contain different things. It will be items that remind you of happy memories or things that make you feel better. It could be notes to remind yourself to take 10 deep breaths, a cuddly toy, photo, DVD/game, a note of your favourite song that you can play. Once you have collected your items, I would like you to talk about each one and why you have chosen it.

All you need is any form of container that you can decorate if you want to. Every time you start to feel sad, angry or worried you can look at the things that bring you joy in your Coping Toolbox.

Music – From Miss. P

We are going to start today’s music lesson by listening to a piece of Scottish music which is a dance played by an orchestra during the lockdown.

This is the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra all playing from their houses.

Do you recognise the music?

Next, we are going to listen to a song that you may all have heard, played on a woodwind instrument, the clarinet.. there is another clarinet being played, it’s called a bass clarinet and it is very big, so it sounds very low.

Today we are going to continue with our body percussion. Why don’t you try this with your family?

Finally, after the great success with everybody singing and playing ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’, we have another thank you to all our NHS and Key Workers…this is great fun to do with your family.

School Prayer

L.I: we are learning about Pentecost and the Holy Spirit.

Pentecost happened 50 days after Easter Sunday. Jesus promised the disciples that the Holy Spirit would come and help them when He was gone. Jesus had gone back to Heaven, so the disciples were waiting to receive the Holy Spirit.

Tasks:

  • Watch the Bible story of Pentecost:

  • Think about this Bible story. Use these questions and discuss them with someone in your home.
  1. What strange noise came from the sky?
  2. What appeared above every disciple?
  3. What were they filled with?
  4. What could they do now, that they could not do before?
  5. Do you think they were glad to be filled with the Holy Spirit?

Handwriting – Vv/Ww

Today we are staring with the letter Vv. It is very similar to the capital U that had practiced last time. This time instead of the bottom being curved, it will come to a point in the bottom line, like an arrow head. Once you get to the bottom, draw a straight line going back up to the top line. A small v looks the exact same but is smaller in size.

Next I would like you to write the letter Ww. For the capital you will need to start it the same way you did for the capital V, except this time when you get back to the top you need to write another V without lifting your pencil. Again, for the small w it is the exact same but much smaller in size.

Shopping list

Today I would like you to write a shopping list of 5 things that you need to buy for your house. Ask an adult to help you as they will know what is needed. Then I would like you to use a supermarket website to research and find out how much each thing costs. As we can’t go shopping we just have to use our imagination for this today. Once you find out how much it costs. Try to write down the coins that you would need to make this amount. Don’t worry if you find this tricky, I am looking for you to challenge yourself.

Music – From Miss P

Hello everyone.

How are you all? Hope you and your families are all keeping well and safe.

This week we are going to listen to an instrument we’ve heard before.

The ‘cello, from the string family. The next 2 clips are played by 2 Cellos.

You may recognise the second one from us playing this at school.

The First piece is called ‘Storm’, by a composer called Vivaldi. It was written hundreds and hundreds of years ago.

Music written then is called BAROQUE MUSIC.

PARENTS, PLEASE NOTE THIS HAS FLASHING LIGHTS!

 

This second clip is fun.. remember this?

 

 

The second thing we are going to do today is called body percussion.

You can all give this a go with your families.

The final thing we are doing today is rhythm, along to a song I’m

Sure you all know.

Do you all remember

Ta- crotchets – one beat

Te te – quavers – half a beat.

Rests -Sh!

I’d like you to clap along with this to the rhythm it points to. Once you have clapped the rhythm then you can make it harder by adding everything else.

 

 

Hope you all have fun

See you all soon.

LI: To find create your own map.

Today I thought it would a fun idea for you to try and create your own map. Try to keep it basic by only having key areas on it, like a path, grass or chairs. Make sure you bury your treasure somewhere that it can be found again. Your treasure can be anything you want it to be, maybe you’ve painted a stick or stone, it could be a small ball. Whatever it is, make sure that it is okay to get it dirty in the ground. An example of a map has been left below, you will also need an X to mark the place where your treasure has been buried.

Parent Information – Emotion Works

Helping your child cope with their emotions at home

At St. Fergus’ Primary, we adopt a whole school approach to emotions awareness and regulation called Emotion Works. Your child/children have had lots of input on this and should be aware of each cog and what it means.

Emotion Works helps your child to understand why they feel particular emotions and be able to relate these emotions to a trigger (cause) and find a way to calm down and self-regulate. Expectedly, with the current ongoing situation, everyone will be feeling a range of emotions on a daily basis. We hope this flier will be useful to you in helping to keep your child/children calm in what is an uncertain and strange time for us all. It will also promote positive continuity and a recognisable vocabulary since this is what we promote in St. Fergus’.
