For the final two days of the first week back, we focused on the 5 Ways to Wellbeing to structure our days. These were…Connect, Be Active, Keep Learning, Take Notice and Give. The link is below for you to watch at home.This clip is for children … and adults too!
All our class activities fitted into one or more of these areas. At the end of the week, the children wrote in their Think Books to say which activities they enjoyed on returning to school. “Connect” and “Keep Active” were definitely the firm favourites!
We learned about the art technique called sgraffito. We used it to help us create our Easter cards.
We drew our designs in pale colours using oil pastels.
We then had to be brave and colour all over it with a much darker colour. We drew our Easter pictures by scratching off the top layer to reveal the bright colours below.
We had a lovely walk around the Boddam loop on Thursday. We stopped to “Take Notice” of the wildlife around us, sights and sounds! We were lucky to see six swans!
Friday morning…time to learn a new team game fitting into our “Be Active” and “Connect” wellbeing tasks. It was called “Capture the Flag” and was enjoyed by all!
The Bib Team….
Talking tactics…the Non Bib team!
Quite a few of the Bibs ended up in jail! The rest of the team had to work hard to get past the Non Bibs to free them!
Friday afternoon was spent on the “Give” way to wellbeing. We all wrote down words to say what we admire about our classmates. These were turned into Word Clouds using the laptops.
The children will be able to see what was written about them when they arrive at school on Monday and will get a copy to take home.
