Brainbreak/Health –

Resilience Alphabet-(this will take about 15 minutes):D is for downtime

Personal Project

There were so many great suggestions for our new topic that I think it is best that you complete a personal project instead. Ideas suggested included – dinosaurs, capital cities and flags, World War 1, Wildlife and food! Unfortunately you will not be allowed to do a project on Fortnite. (I double checked with Mrs Wallace!) So all I want you to do for now is think about choosing something to research. This project will take up quite a lot of time so choose wisely. Think of all the work that went into our project on World War 2. You need to pick something that you will enjoy. Also a topic that will allow you to find out lots of interesting information. Maybe chat with someone at home? It should be something you can do by working a few hours each week (average: ½ hour each day) for 4 weeks. Obviously I will give you time during afternoons on TEAMS.

When you are ready the first thing you will need to do is complete your research and make notes in your own words, in your jotter. You can use reference books, for example, encyclopedias and atlases, the internet, newspapers and magazines or personal interviews. Then, after a week of research we will discuss the way forward and what you would like to do in order to present your findings.

Please let me know what you have decided to do when you have committed to an topic.

Practical Science – If you have the equipment and/or maybe someone to help you choose one of the following activities.(Or save them for a rainy day.)

Tornado in a Bottle  (uses simple equipment)
