Friday 19.6.20

Good Morning P.1/2

I hope you are all well this Friday morning and ready for another morning of learning! Here is some more classical music to start our day. If you go to 1 hour 36 minutes there is music from the composer Mozart that I think you would like.

Art Work

I thought you might like to try this fab idea.

Bubble Painting

What you will need –

  • paint
  • drinking straws
  • washing up liquid
  • paper

First of all decide which paint colours you are going to use and put about a tablespoon of each colour in a different cup. Then add a squirt of washing up liquid to each cup and fill the cup 3/4 full with water and stir well.

Now use your straws to blow the air into your mixture to create the bubbles. Once they are ready to overflow from your cup, place a piece of paper on top and watch how it prints the bubble pattern onto it.

You can then blow back into your paint to create more bubbles and make as many pictures as you want. If they aren’t dark enough just add more paint as you go along.

If you have any bubbles at home you could even use the blowers to dip into your paint and blow some paint bubbles onto your paper.

I hope you have fun creating your bubble art work and I look forward to seeing what you all create!

Maths

A wee reminder about 2D shapes.

 Now let’s have some Maths fun and play a cool maths game.

Choose this one at bronze level if you want a challenge

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zjkphbk/articles/zf4sscw

or this one if you want to practise

Story & Drama

Listen to the story of The Gruffalo.

https://youtu.be/s8sUPpPc8Ws?t=1

Use your Imagination

Now I would like you to travel around your garden as different animals moving through the forest. As well as the main characters – the mouse, fox, owl and snake – there are others that appear in drawings including a frog, butterfly, beetle, woodpecker, kingfisher, dragonfly, squirrel and snail. Choose an animal and get into role.

You should decide what your animal is doing – looking for food or making a home, for example.

What would you do if you heard the Gruffalo coming. Would you lie down, stand still or hide in different parts of the woods? When the Gruffalo has gone you can check to see if the coast is clear and then carry on with your activities.

Ask someone to try and guess which animal you are.

Have a lovely week-end. Will be in touch next Friday – our last Friday before the summer holidays!
