There are also lots of recipes for you to try over the Easter holidays.
Happy cooking everyone.

Good morning,

Calendar –
Yesterday we looked at the four seasons. Can you name the four seasons? What season is it just now? What signs are there outside that help us to know that it is Spring?
Here is a little Spring scavenger hunt. You can use it in your garden or if you go for a little walk.

How many of these things can you help with today?

Go for a walk in your local area. Take some photos of some interesting things you find.

There are lots of Music creation apps that our children might enjoy. As we head into the holiday, I wanted to show people a couple of free ones that you may find helpful. I will add more ideas over the weeks, including ones for Android/ iOS. Many of the suggested activities can apply to any music-making app.
This highly sophisticated app shouldn’t put anyone off. From recording, effects, multitracking, jamming with others and virtual instruments, it may seem overwhelming to some, but it is also easy to get started and begin playing around.
Virtual instruments include drums, bass, guitar, keyboards and orchestral strings. With lots of online tutorials on YouTube and elsewhere, it is possible to take it as far as you like.
Ideas to get you started:
Compose music using a collection of creatures, trees, flowers and shapes. Each icon/image represents a different sound which you add to the project area to create a piece. The vertical position of an icon will affect the pitch (even with rhythmic sounds). Soundforest is very visual, using graphic-style notation to represent your piece and perfect for younger students. The free version has limited projects.

Ideas to get you started:
Have fun and share your music with others!

Hi Everyone,
Today’s topic is all about TOYS – since we’re all at home at the moment, I’m sure you’re getting lots of nice opportunities for playing with your own toys 🙂
Hello Everyone,
Today I feel like Mr Happy. It is Friday, the Easter Holidays start tomorrow and it is going to be sunny today. I am feeling happy!
How are you feeling today? Remember to ask someone in your house too.
The weather today is forecast to be sunny. Might you go outside today? Perhaps into your garden? Maybe you could spot some birds>
For Movement today I am going to do some yoga with Adrienne. Why not try it too?
Friday is cleaning day in my house. What could you do to help clean your house today?
For Literacy today check out the recent posts in the Language Skills section.
There should be some updated activities in the Social Studies / RME section.
Remember to have a break. Perhaps outside?
After break it is story time. The story today will be Percy the Park Keeper – After the Storm chosen by Leah. Check the Blog at 10.30 to hear and see this story.
Look out for the Sign of the Day posted by Lorna and then check out Hazel’s tasty ideas in Food Technology.
After lunch it is time for ICT and Music so check out Steve’s posts for ICT and Connie’s for Music.
Remember to let me know how you are getting on. Have great days.

Good Morning Group 6
Here are some activities to choose from for Friday’s timetable:
Morning Routine – Today is Friday, did you identify it from your symbols? Can you tell some-one what the ‘date’ is? What month have we just moved into?
Emotions – Nikki tells me you are looking at the emotions you feel when you take part in various activities throughout the day. Can you identify how you might feel if you had an ice-cream? How might you feel about going to the Zoo? How are you feeling about being at home? Remember if you are feeling sad about being at home we have a story to read again that might help
Movement – Try Joe Wicks again if you haven’t visited for a while……he is still motivating the nation! Type in PE with Joe on Youtube!
Literacy – Can you read the instructions below to make a sandwich? Choose your favorite sandwich and send me a photo of the finished product!
Social Studies – Check out Linda and Ana’s posts for an activity that you would like to try😊
Story – A story for you to enjoy….or read a favorite book from home.
Find out what happens when What a Mess thinks he has discovered a monster.
Sign of the Day with Lorna
Food Technology – try out one of your favorite recipe’s from our very own Pinewood Recipe Book. There are plenty recipes here to keep you going over the holidays!

ICT/Technology – You have worked hard, choose a favourite game on the device or game console of your choice – It’s Friday after all!!
Music – Have a sing song with Connie and Gordon from one of their posts.
Remember, here are some activities you can look into over the holiday period
I hope you all have a good Easter Break….and do have a break. You have all worked so hard at home school. I have been so happy to hear of all the creative ways you have been learning at home and adapting to school closing. I have been really happy to hear that you are okay, and see some lovely photos of you smiling at home.
Splash in the puddles, look for rainbows and bears, continue to dance and sing with your families.
Keep going…..you are all wonderful!!
Happy Easter
I am in the Hub again tomorrow so sending this early to you
It is Friday so it will be assembly – if not then please go to Connie’s Easter Singalong as we would have been at the church service.
Over the Easter I would like you to make me a Spring garden – some of you might remember we did this in class last year – my old class made an edible one! If you could take a picture that would be great 🙂
Can you complete one of your Reflection sheets? what have you enjoyed over the last two weeks? what haven’t you enjoyed? have you managed to help more at home?
Another Easter challenge – ICT/Technology can you go a whole morning without technology….can you go a whole day without technology? You might need to plan a very different day but have a go! I am going to try this out!
Easter challenge – food technology – can you enter the cake competition that Laura sent you the details of? we just need a photo – maybe you could photograph each stage so someone else could make the cake after you and we can add it into our recipe book? Have a look on the right hand side of the blog for our recipes (you had a copy in your packs).
Another Easter challenge – dance – can you teach someone in your family one of the Just Dance routines? I did the Ghostbuster one TWICE today as was in two different classrooms…
Sign of the day – go back and see if you can remember them – maybe test one of the family!
Easter challenge – Story Can you record yourself reading a favourite story ! could you add props or sensory experiences like we have in class?
Easter challenge – egg hunt check out my blog entry that I set for Group 1,2,4,5 – can you manage it?
https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/wl/pinewoodschoolblog/category/c-d-t/
and finally…Science – have you seen yeast make the dough rise? could you make your own bread? I know ingredients have been not easy to find but if you can I would love to see how you have made your own bread – it’s great to try new ways of making it – try soda bread if can and curdle your milk with vinegar!
Maybe you could make hot cross buns! that was what we were going to make in class over the three weeks before Easter and try different recipes – my favourite is the one with cherries in
https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/chocolate-recipes/chocolate-cherry-hot-cross-buns/
Take care, keep safe and I look forward to hearing about how you are getting on with all my Easter challenges
