Good morning everyone! I hope you have had a great start to the week.

I’m not sure if anyone noticed but I have allocated you a book on Active Learn, its about the 5 oceans. I thought it might be useful to help you with your research. Here is a song that can help you learn the different oceans.

Has anyone been learning the words for pets in French? Can you guess what animals I have and how many?  I have un chien et deux poisons.

Here is a morning challenge to get everyone awake and ready for the day.

Remember you can send Mr Brice and myself all your hard work! Have a great day.

Miss Ross

Good morning P 3!

Are you ready to be Sonic Explorers again?

A couple of weeks ago I asked you to explore the sounds of your garden but today I want you to use your musical imagination to explore further away from home!

One of my favourite places to visit is the beach and I’m sure lots of you do too! I want you to think of sounds you might hear on the beach and what instruments you would choose to make those sounds. I would love to see a sound picture of your beach with some instruments in it! If you don’t want to use instruments you can find sounds at home to help. I like the crunchy sound cornflakes make when you shake the packet! It sounds a bit like walking on sand. If you can find some empty,  clean plastic bottles you can try filling them with different materials for different sounds. Try rice or pasta or of course water! You could even try to make a water bottle organ but make sure you ask an adult first!

                               Make a Water Organ

You will need:

• 4–10 clear glass bottles, same size
• Water
• Food colouring
• Metal or wooden spoon

Instructions

1. Fill each bottle with water of varying amounts, until different pitches can be heard.
2. Add a different food colouring to each bottle to identify the ‘notes’.
3. Hit with a metal or wooden spoon and listen to the different pitches!

After you have made your water organ, line the bottles up in order by water volume (most water on the left, least water on the right).

Play the water organ by gently hitting each bottle with a metal or wooden spoon/stick. Use the instrument to explore pitch (high/low sounds) and dynamics (loud and quiet).

I am sending you the link to Sonic Explorer but watch out because she meets something unexpected on her travels!

Thanks for those of you who sent me some pictures of your work yesterday. Below are some great pieces about One Button Benny. I look forward to seeing some more today.

A note for you about Sumdog. The activities we published on there are a guide and we are trying to cover a range of interests and abilities. You can choose which ones you feel are most suitable for you.

Yesterday, I had a go at the sock challenge I posted a couple of weeks ago. I think I changed the rules a little. I would love to find out how long it takes you. I placed the washing basket 4 large (adult) steps away. Remember adults need to do 10 pairs of socks and children 5. Younger ones could do it with the socks already paired up. Here’s my attempt. Enjoy!

PS The child laughing at me is Charlotte, and, yes,  I have grounded her as a consequence!

Good morning! I hope you are all well.

I wonder if you could help us by completing the survey on school meals at the link below?

Good morning,

I’ve had a super busy week since I last checked in with you guys. I’ve been doing some running, we checked out the blossom trees by the Rose Garden, we’ve done some quizzes with family and friends and I watched High School Musical! Here’s a picture of some chalk art we did for VE Day.

Please, check out the school website for some P3 resources for home learning this week.

This week my story is ‘One Button Benny’ which I will post separately. Below are the spelling rules you need to practice this week:

During the week let us know how you are getting on by emailing myself and Miss Ross.

Have a great day,

Mr Brice

Hi, I thought I’d give you all a wee Science challenge this week. Watch the video and then try and make a climbing bug of your own. This is a great simple friction toy that any anyone can do.

I’d love to see all your creative climbing bugs.
