Wednesday 3rd June

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!

We hope that you enjoyed the activities based on the Pie Corbett text "Poppy, Waldo and the Giant" before half term! This week we are going to create our own story maps to help us become even more familiar with the story.

Activity

First, read paragraph one again.

Next, think of any actions that you could add while re-reading it. You might even want to add sounds in after some words.
Now, you are going to draw pictures to help you remember each part of the story.
Don’t forget to add your punctuation!

Have a look at Miss Swayne’s story map and watch the video of her acting out paragraph one.

Now complete this for the next two paragraphs.

Challenge: Can you recite the first three paragraphs without using the text or your story map?

Art & Design

Time to have some fun - you will be making paper aeroplanes!

Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9ReNKZiZNc and have a go at making one or more planes like this.

For a real challenge you could try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDAjBIc7YKw (this is difficult so be resilient if you try it!)

Next make a target or print this one: https://www.targets.ws/shooting-targets/bullseye-target-blue-red-yellow.pdf.

Practice hitting your target.

Start quite close before throwing from further away.

Try some different throwing techniques to find the best one. You could even challenge a family member to a competition. Have fun with your paper planes!
