Good Afternoon Primary 7,
What a beautiful week we are having. Hopefully you have all managed to enjoy some sunshine and get some much needed vitamin D.
Here is the link to today’s Virtual Sports Fortnight activity set by Mrs Lafferty. Remember to share your results by emailing them to the school:

We thought that since we are focusing on health and wellbeing this week, it would be good idea to link this to your art task too.
Lots of people like to doodle. A doodle is when you draw or scribble absent-mindedly (without putting too much thought into it). Did you know that research has found that doodling is good for your mental health? It can help to keep you calm and allows you to express your emotions. It has also been shown to help concentration levels.
This week you are going to have the freedom to create your own piece of doodle art. Here is a link to a YouTube clip from ‘Mr Doodle’ who spends his life creating doodles:

This is an example of space doodles:

If you like, watch the videos and see if you can get some ideas, or if you are already a confident doodler, give it a try yourself. You can start from anywhere, a word, a love heart, a star, even just a line and the build on it from there. You may choose to use your doodle to show how you are feeling just now or you may prefer to just doodle away. The most important thing is that it should help you to relax. The only things you will need is a pencil/pen and a sheet of paper, if you want to add colour when you are finished then feel free.
I can’t wait to see what you all come up with. Please remember to upload your work to the blog and add me if you haven’t already.
Here are the answers to your maths work from this morning:
Have a great afternoon doodling!
Mrs Craig
