Good morning!

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. I spoke to some of you last week about the introduction of ‘theme weeks’. This week I will be setting different activities all to do with the theme of music.

Here are some activities that you could be doing:

  • Plan a sound walk. Can you draw a map to show where you could go? Could you use Google Maps to guide you?
  • Go on a walk and take a note book or clipboard with you (if you are able to). Listen carefully for the different things you can hear. Record them on your paper. Were there any sounds that surprised you? What was the loudest sound you heard? What was the quietest?
  • When you get home, see if you can recreate any of the sounds you heard. What could you use to help you? Think about how quiet or loud the sound was and what made the sound.
  • Get active! Search on Youtube for Just Dance workouts. Which song did you choose to dance to today? Why?
  • What is a “musical note”? Ask people in your family and research it. What did you find out? Record in your red book.
  • Bug Club. A new book and activities have been allocated.
  • Maths. Have a go at the Comparing Capacity (click to open PDF) activities. You can have a go at creating this activity in your kitchen with real cups of water and different sized containers!

Most importantly, make time to do things that make you happy today. I look forward to seeing the wonderful things you have been doing!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Remember all of your activities can be shared through the school website.

Best wishes

Miss Hall 🙂
