Good morning. We are going to use the knowledge that we have gained about online safety for today’s task which is to create an online safety board game.
Online Safety Task
First design your board making it colourful interesting and easy to understand. Next think of the rules for your game. Finally devise questions based on internet safety for your game. This task may take you a couple of days to finish if you are doing it to the best of your ability ! Watch the YouTube clips and read the information below before designing your game. You can use the safe / unsafe game template and cards or create your own version !
Have a super morning !

Good Afternoon Primary 7,
We hoped you enjoyed having the chance to finish designing your dream homes.
This afternoon we are continuing on with another HWB task. On the sheet below there are pictures of 2 different people – write a list of 3 thoughts that you think these people might have about themselves in these situations based on what you can tell from the picture. You do not have to print this off to do it, you can write the list in your jotter. Once you have done this, create you own picture, drawing yourself or someone else and then write a list of 3 things that you believe this picture tells you about what is happening.
Remember to post to your PLB

Good afternoon Primary 4.
Here are your tasks:
Task 1- Create a Coding Map
This morning, you completed the pirate coding map challenge. Now you have the opportunity to create a coding map. It can be any theme you want such as, the beach, space, rainforest, sea, etc.
Remember to write the word ‘start’ on the map so you know where to begin. When you have completed the map, write the commands you need to follow to land on each item on the map. For example, forward 3 and left 2 to find the alien.
You can use the template My coding map template or you can draw it on a piece of paper.
Task 2- PE
Mrs Lafferty will be posting a sports activity for you to complete.
We hope you have fun completing the tasks!

:: use kitchen foil to create a sculpture inspired by Giacometti’s bronze figures
We’ll be thinking about how art can be fun, with no need for perfection, and how the simplest of shapes can convey great emotion.
For this art lesson you will need::: paper
:: pen or pencil
:: kitchen foil (tin foil / aluminium foil)
:: scissors
Before we look at any of Giacometti’s work, let’s do a super-quick warm-up round of stick figures. This is a playful exercise to get everyone drawing without too much consideration, and usually gets everyone giggling.
Being challenged to draw really quickly reminds us that art can be fun, light-hearted, and we’re not after perfection. We’re here to have a try, with an open-mind and playful spirit.
So: everyone, please take a piece of paper and fold it in half length-ways, and then into three width-ways, as in the photo below, so you end up with six rectangles. They don’t all have to be the exact same size, so long as you have six spaces to draw in.
:: Ready for some quick drawing? Take a pen or pencil and in one of your rectangles you’re going to draw a stick-figure person. You only have ten seconds to draw it, so be quick. Ready? Go: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – stop!
:: In the next rectangle I want you to draw a stick-figure of a person who is running. Think about how your elbows and knees bend when you run, and try and capture that in your sketch. But again you only have ten seconds to draw it, so be quick! Go! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – stop!
:: In your third rectangle, you have ten seconds to draw a stick-figure who is feeling sad. Ready? Go!
:: In your fourth rectangle, you have ten seconds to draw a stick-figure who is comforting the one who is feeling sad. How does your body look when you are being kind to someone else? Ten seconds to draw them – go!
:: In your fifth rectangle, you have ten seconds to drawsomeone who is feeling happy. How does that look? Be quick – draw!
:: And then in your final rectangle, you have ten seconds to draw someone doing anything you like. Your parent/ sibling is going to try and guess what your figure is doing, so try and draw your stick-figure in a way that shows it clearly. Ready? Ten seconds…go!
:: Think about how the simplest of stick-figures can convey strong emotions such as sadness and happiness, and how a few simple lines, drawn in just ten seconds, can show movement and action.
OK, so hopefully now you feel warmed up, your brain has switched off from anything else you were thinking or worrying about, and you are ready for some creativity!
Let’s meet Alberto Giacometti.
Alberto Giacometti, etching, author Jan Hladík (Czech printmaker) 2002,
Alberto Giacometti was Swiss. He was born in 1901 and died in 1966.
He began painting, drawing, and sculpting from a very early age and explored many art forms throughout his life.
He is most famous for his tall, thin figures made of bronze.
Take a look at more images of Giacometti’s work here.
:: Notice how textured the figures are. Think about how the thin, elongated arms and legs of the people contrast with the strong metal that they are made of.
:: What words would you use to describe the people?
Let’s take our exploration of stick figures and the inspiration from Giacometti to now create some metal people of our own.
We’re going to turn flat, delicate kitchen foil into sculptures of people, inspired by the textured figures that Giacometti created.
You will need a piece of kitchen foil – a piece a bit bigger than A4 size is good to start with.
Have a look at the photo below to see how you can segment the foil into pieces that will become the head, arms, legs, and torso of your person.
Draw out the guide lines on your own piece of fo, and then cut along them. Next, used your hands to scrunch up the foil sections to make your person.
Once you’ve got the idea of how the flat kitchen foil can be sectioned out and scrunched up, you can have fun creating all sorts of different figures.
Move your foil figure to recreate some of the stick figures you have draw. The arms, legs, back, and neck will all bend easily so you can carefully re-position your person.
You can also use additional pieces of foil to make more people.
Try to make your figure stand, run, even do yoga!
Maybe you can get your sculpture to stand up on its own? This is quite hard, as you need to play around with the balance of your person and their centre of gravity.
Your figure might like to hang upside down from the table!
Have fun making your sculptures and remember to post pictures to your Personal Learning Blogs so we can see them.
