Good morning year 3!

I hope you have had a restful weekend.  There are lots of different activities for you to complete this week.  Make sure you have a look at the one Miss Wicks has set you.

This week is a very special week as it is Anti-Bullying Week and Odd Socks Day.

This year’s theme for Anti Bullying Week is ‘United Against Bullying’.   The theme was created for a new and fun way of celebrating Anti-Bullying Week and what makes us unique. Odd Socks Day is an opportunity to have fun, be yourself and spread awareness of the core values Anti-Bullying Week promotes.  Never before has that message meant so much. Events during 2020 have shown the power of us working together.

Watch: Andy and the Odd Socks – The Kids are United

Have a discussion with your parent/carer:

  • What do you think the song is about?
  • How are the lyrics linked to Anti-Bullying week and why do you think Andy chose them?

Activity One – Dance

Look at the chorus lyrics:

If the kids are united then we’ll never be divided. As well as standing united against bullying, in what other ways can we stand united in order to make positive changes within our school, the community and even the world?

Why not try and create your own dance routine for the chorus. This is a great way to show your unique dancing styles and how they can be celebrated. Just like our odd socks, we can be unique AND united all at once!  Make sure you record it and send it to Mr Whitty!

Activity Two – Create an Odd Socks photo, GIF or video.

You could create your own videos or images of you all and your family in odd in your odd socks. It could be just a photo of your feet; there are endless ways to get creative!

Activity Three – Odd Socks Sock Puppet Show!

Script and perform your own sock puppet show. Using the themes we have been discussing for Anti Bullying week, write your own short script and perform using sock puppets of your own creation. If you are feeling super confident, you could freestyle the show and make up the story as you go along.

Activity Four – Puppet Band!

Make your own Andy and the Odd Socks sock puppet band and film them miming along to the lyrics of The Kids Are United.

Activity Five – Design your own odd sock!

Make the design unique to you using your favourite colours, symbols or patterns. You could work with a partner and do an odd sock swap so they have one of yours and you have one of theirs! Odd socks rule!

If you need a hard copy of the tasks and any resources, please contact the office.

See you all soon.
