Good Morning Primary 3, hope you have all been having a fun and productive week! We hope that you spend some time relaxing and having some fun on April Fool’s Day yesterday. We have been getting some great updates on what you’ve been up to, from the work you’ve been doing to the food you’ve been making. And the food looks amazing! Here are some of the examples of some great food that has been made over the last week, it’s making us very hungry!
If you have been able to make some delicious food, could you write up a short set of instructions complete with ingredients and we could put together a P3 cookbook?
In keeping with the food theme, why not try to develop your cooking skills with Theo Michaels, a former Masterchef winner who is hosting live cooking classes on his Youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/cookwiththeo Although some ingredients might be harder to find just now I am sure that as well as the live classes the back log of cooking videos he has will give you plenty of kitchen inspiration!
Today’s arts and crafts idea comes from a Dundee based mental health charity called Art Angel. They have been doing regular projects on their social media channels. If you have the items needed please have a go. If you don’t have all the items see if you can maybe improvise with what items you do have at home?
‘Today’s home project is mono printing. All you need is a piece of plastic (old shopping bag) and some heavy bodied paint such as acrylic. Tape the plastic down to a hard surface, we used an old cardboard box. Paint on the plastic with a brush, either one colour of a mixture of colours. Gently place a blank piece of paper down onto the painted surface, then draw onto the paper using a pen or pencil. Once the drawing is finished peel back the paper and see what you’ve created. It may take a few goes to get the textures you would like, but just experiment and have fun.’
If you get the chance to get outside over the coming weeks, there are live football coaching sessions as well as some challenges that you might be able to take part in. Ask your parents to sign up for you and you will get access to these sessions: yfs.news/keepscotlandactivereg
