Kindness Cards

It is very strange at the moment being away from all of our friends at school. 
I really miss seeing all your friendly faces and hearing your funny stories.

So this is a good time to think about someone who you could give a kindness card or drawing to. 
It might be someone in your bubble, or you could go for a walk and put it in the letterbox of a friend...? 

Here are a few ideas to get you started...



Draw a picture, write a letter, include some jokes, anything you like!
Then roll it up and tie it with a ribbon and place somewhere for them to find.






 Make an envelope, decorate it and put your letter inside. 
Put it in a friends letter box or somewhere for your family to find (like under a pillow!).
Don't forget to put their name on it!









Make some little cards with notes attached to a string and hang it somewhere for them to discover...



Or try making them a Warm Fuzzy Friend like this...it can have all of the things you like and miss about them written either on the front or back of it. 
Such a nice thing to receive.




Have a go at one of these...or try your own idea.

(Don't forget to put a photo of it on Seesaw so I can see what you create!)

Art Recreations

Even though we can't visit Museums and Art Galleries at the moment, we can still enjoy the art in other ways. People across the world have been recreating famous paintings. If you would like to add to our Art Gallery, please post your recreations to the Padlet below.

Multiplication


Students have been working on multiplication this week. For a number of our students their learning will be around creating equal sets of objects.





Other students will be finding and sharing different ways to show  sets of objects using diagrams or arrays.


.  Skip counting and repeated addition are also valuable ways for students to show what they know. They will then apply this knowledge to solve multiplication equations.


Rock Art by Hayley

All along the Seatoun waterfront there is something magical happening...



Rocks painted in all sorts of characters are popping up weekly. Do you recognise some of these?





There are also smaller rocks that have been painted by children around the neighbourhood.



Would you like to get involved? Easy!
Just collect a rock or pebble and paint it - it doesn't have to be fancy. 




Then put it somewhere for passers by to discover and enjoy!



It's a lot of fun!
