Art activity - Mandalas

You might have seen or coloured in these mandala patterns. They originally come from India and 'mandala' means ‘circle’ in Sanskrit language. They are really relaxing and almost meditative thing to do- a bit like doodling with patterns in a circle.

You could either draw or paint them on paper, doodle them on stones, chalk them on pavements or wall, or face paint ‘tattoo’ them. You could make them in sand, soil, rice or any other materials you can find at home. You could draw around circular objects or go freehand.

There is a ‘2Do’ on Purple Mash, if you’d like to work digitally.

The first example was done by a Y4 child who started with a tiny dot, then ‘grew’ the pattern

There are no rules but this might be helpful for some of you to work with or adapt.

Start in the middle of the page by drawing a pattern, object or symbol that represents you. Draw a pattern around this- see how many different lines you can use. Draw more sections or ‘petals’ and fill them with patterns or things that are important to you.

Keep on growing the mandala design. It’s the kind of thing you can return to and add to. See where it takes you!

Music activity

This week we are going to concentrate on using the microphone again, as we write a school song.

Think about what you really enjoy about being at school, time with your friends, your favourite teachers and subjects and think about our Golden Values, as you write and record your vocals.

You can write music too but the main focus will be on the vocals and the words. You can even use the microphone to record any instruments you have at home at home.

1 - Look for the box that say MySounds, at the bottom of 2 Sequence.

2 - Click on the box with the + sign.

3 -Then press on the record box, which looks like a microphone.

4 - Press the red button here to record. If correct press done, if not try again.

5 - Then you get a microphone, add it to your song and hear yourself.

6 -Make sure that you put the microphone on a track of its own, so that you can hear it and that the song is set on a long enough loop for you to hear it.

Have fun. I look forward to hearing them. I will use the best ones to try and make another song like I did with your Pop Song work.

ENJOY.

French activity

Joyeux juin tout le monde ! I hope you are all doing well, and are feeling safe and happy.

Félicitations to all of you who have been doing so well with the Duolingo challenge – bon continuation!

Also, well done to those of you who have submitted your completed Paris brochures – formidable!

This week’s extra French task is to play a game in French, with someone at home, using the names of the French colours you have learnt. Here goes ...

You will need at least two people to play
Decide together who is going to start
Revise and practice your colours in French – you could use this video clip to help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkQGN86qTag
Listen to this sound-file to hear the pronunciation of "Mon petit oeil voit quelque chose qui est..." https://tbltfrenchgames.weebly.com/uploads/1/1/0/3/110354851/mon_petit_oeil.mp3
Take some time to repeat listening to and saying the phrase.
The person that is chosen to start the game, will provide a description of any object in French starting with the phrase "Mon petit oeil voit quelque chose qui est..." and adding the colour of that object in French. For example "Mon petit oeil voit quelque chose qui est rouge et noir" if you were were trying to get the other people playing to guess a ladybird
The remaining players will take turns trying to guess what is being described
The player who guesses correctly will continue the game by giving the next description of something s/he spies.

Have fun!

Making a mini book.

Follow this link to find out about miniature books: https://www.bl.uk/childrens-books/activities/make-a-miniature-book

These tiny books measure 57mm high and 47mm wide – around the same length as a mouse’s tail! They were part of the Infant’s Library created more than 200 years ago. Mini books were designed to help children learn by reading to their teddies or dolls.

Now it’s your turn to make a miniature book.

Decide what you would like your book to be about. Will it be a bedtime story? Perhaps you will write an adventure story where you are the main character. You could write a fairy tale or factual book about the universe or Ancient Greece.

Don’t forget to illustrate (draw pictures in) your book. You could even use your Rob Biddulph character from yesterday’s art lesson.

You will need:

Half a piece of A4 paper. (Neatly rip this out of your purple book.)
Something to tie the pages together. This could be a piece of string, some thread, a small elastic band, a hair clip or paper clip.

Do not worry about using fancy coloured paper/card for your cover if you don’t have any- you can just colour in your own!

Following this link for a YouTube tutorial on how to make a mini book:

https://youtu.be/gZJwoJvgNxs

When you are finished, read your book to someone at home or to your favourite toy. Send a picture to: office@coldean.brighton-hove.sch.uk

I can’t wait to see them!

The Story Continues

In your 2Dos on Purplemash complete ‘The Story Continues’ activity.

Chapter 4 The Lost Myth of Mathos.

Cast your mind back to Chapter 3 of The Lost Myth of Mathos (You may want to read this chapter again if you have forgotten!). In Chapter 3, Mathos and the flying horse, Pegasus, were captured by a giant named Chrysaor. He took them his cave. Whilst there, they were visited by a kraken, a ferocious sea monster. Both Chrysaor and the sea monster agreed that they wanted to kill Perseus, the rider of Pegasus. Cyrysaor, the giant, showed Mathos how he will use evil magic to hurt the horse if he does not find a way to bring Perseus to him.

Read Chapter 4 of the Lost Myth of Mathos in your 2Dos on Purplemash. In this chapter, Mathos and Sariena are faced with a terrible dilemma: can they really send Perseus to his doom, or must they tackle the monsters themselves?

Now test your knowledge using the online quiz. I look forward to seeing how you get on.
