The cherry blossom is considered the unofficial National flower of Japan.

There are many dozens of different cherry tree varieties in Japan, most of which bloom for just a few days in spring. When they bloom it is celebrated with hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties under the trees.

Can you create your own cherry blossom?

Here are a few examples of how you can do this.

Good morning Primary 4. I hope you are all having a good week and enjoying your Japanese themed tasks. You have sent me some fantastic work so far. Let’s keep it up. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Health and Wellbeing

Japanese children often do Radio Taisou, a famous and common type of exercises that is regularly done in the mornings and before and after gym classes or swimming lessons.  It is a set of exercises carried out to music. Some teachers use these exercises between classes when students get tired of studying to refresh the students’ ability to focus. These exercises are designed to use all types of muscles, but are not too strenuous so even elderly people can use them. The exercises also teach the basic skills of rhythm and counting to young students.

Here is a video of children taking part. Maybe you could join in?

Reading Comprehension

Today we will read the final chapters of ‘Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes’.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A94nURpxhFE Chapter 7-9

Here are some comprehension questions for you to answer. Remember that these questions will check how much you have understood of what you have read today.

Chapter 7 questions

Creative time

On Monday you had a go at some basic origami and made a little cat. Today’s origami task is a bit more challenging.

Today you are going to follow a tutorial on how to make a crane, just like Sadako did.

Something extra

Did you know that in Japanese schools, the children are responsible for the cleaning and tidying up? There are no cleaners or Janitors to do this for the children. Could you imagine hoovering, mopping and wiping down our classroom, toilets and kitchen?

Here is a wee video to show you how this is done.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv4oNvxCY5k

Today I would like you to help out a little more around the house. You could hoover, do the dishes, dust, mop and tidy. Could you send me a picture of you doing this?

Mindfulness

Today for Mindfulness your task is to create a Zen Garden. In Japan Creating a Zen garden is a great way to reduce stress, improve your focus, and develop a sense of well-being.

Here is how you can make your own miniature version.

SUPPLIES

• Sand in any color
  
• A container
• Items for your zen garden such as shells, rocks & crystals, driftwood, or other items of your choosing.

Something to use as a rake. We used a mini back scratcher (which worked perfectly!), a wooden fork and made our own with wooden skewers (more on that below)

START YOUR ZEN GARDEN

1. Pick out your containers. We made sure to use containers that wouldn’t easily break. We chose a lid from a photo box, a photo scrapbooking container with a lid, which is great because you can close the lid and make it portable, and an old plastic plate that I used when my daughter was younger(a great way to use what you already have!).

If you choose to use a shallow cardboard box, you might want to tape around the bottom and sides to prevent the sand from leaking through.

2. Choose your sand colors.

If you use sand that you collect from the beach make sure to pick out all the debris, rinse it in a fine mesh strainer and let it dry completely before pouring into your containers.

3. Fill your containers, but don’t fill them too much. You want to be able to make designs in your sand with a rake and not have any sand spill out.
4. Choose your zen garden accessories. This is the fun part! You can use rocks, crystals, driftwood or anything else you think would be appropriate. Mini statues or small toys, even air dry plants that are in more traditional zen gardens. Have fun placing your items in your containers.
5. Time for your rakes! You can use a fork or maybe make a fork from tooth picks or sticks.
6. Now you can play around with making patterns in the sand.

Good morning everyone. Well done for all of the amazing work you have sent me so far this week. I am so proud of you all. Keep up the good work.

STEM

This afternoon you are going to make a rocket in a different way. This time you are going to need an empty squeezy bottle.

Here is the science behind the idea;

Think about a space rocket taking off. The rocket’s action is to push down on the ground with the force of it’s engines, the equal upwards force pushes the rocket up or if you think about air coming out of a balloon, the air is being forced downwards yet the balloon flies upwards.

In the case of our squeezy bottle rockets, as you squeeze the bottle, air is forced out of the straw and pushes against whatever you have sealing the top of the larger straw, this force causes the straw to “fly” through the air.

HOW TO MAKE A SQUEEZY BOTTLE ROCKET

Materials

• Empty Squeezy water bottles
• Cardboard
• Straws
• Scissors
• Glue/sellotape
• Blue tack
• Plasticine

.

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE BOTTLE

Lift up the sports cap and push in half a straw, seal around it with blu tack.

Squeeze the bottle and make sure air is coming out of the top of the straw, not the sides.

FOR THE ROCKET

Draw and cut out a cardboard rocket.

Seal one end of a larger straw than the one in the bottle with sellotape.

Attach the rocket onto one side of the straw.

Just for fun

I’m not sure if it will be sunny enough to try this today or not. If you don’t try it today you could try it another time. Sorry the pictures are a bit blurry. I can’t seem to get them any clearer. I will put another version on Google Classroom, but it won’t let me put it on here.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Health and Wellbeing

Mrs McLaughlin has set you a task for your Health and Wellbeing today.

L.I: we are learning to create a daily menu for an astronaut in space. Tasks: 1. Read the following fact sheet:

Eating in Space Eating in microgravity can be very different than eating on Earth.

Credits: Fred Sayers

Imagine going camping for more than a week with several of your close friends. You would make sure you have plenty of food and the gear to cook and eat it with. The food would have to be stored properly and be non-perishable to avoid spoilage. After finishing your meal, or at the end of your camping trip, you would then stow all your gear and dispose of your trash properly just before the ride home.

Astronauts basically do the same thing when they go to space. Preparation varies with the food type. Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms, such as brownies and fruit. Other foods require adding water, such as macaroni and cheese or spaghetti. Of course, an oven is provided in the space station to heat foods to the proper temperature. There are no refrigerators in space, so space food must be stored and prepared properly to avoid spoilage, especially on longer missions.

Condiments, such as ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise, are provided. Salt and pepper are available but only in a liquid form. This is because astronauts can’t sprinkle salt and pepper on their food in space. The salt and pepper would simply float away. There is a danger they could clog air vents, contaminate equipment, or get stuck in an astronaut’s eyes, mouth, or nose.

Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Nutritionists ensure the food astronauts eat provides them with a balanced supply of vitamins and minerals. Calorie requirements differ for astronauts. For instance, a small woman would require only about 1,900 calories a day, while a large man would require about 3,200 calories. An astronaut can choose from many types of foods such as fruits, nuts, peanut butter, chicken, beef, seafood, candy, brownies, etc. Available drinks include coffee, tea, orange juice, fruit punches and lemonade.

As on Earth, space food comes in disposable packages. Astronauts must throw their packages away when they have finished eating. Some packaging prevents food from flying away. The food packaging is designed to be flexible and easier to use, as well as to maximize space when stowing or disposing of food containers.

2. Watch the following video clips discussing what food you eat is space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7z3iA1Iruw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnmA35ibSMY
3. Create a daily menu (Breakfast, lunch, and dinner) for the astronauts to eat. Think about the Eatwell Guide we have been using and what you need for a healthy diet. Think about the packaging, what foods can the astronauts take into space?

I can’t wait to read your astronomical menus!
