Week Beginning 22nd February 2021 Week 7
Hello all,
I hope you have had a restful half term and are all fit and healthy. I am very much looking forward to the day that you can all come back to school and learn together and miss you all lots and lots.
I will continue be on teams most mornings between 9:30 and 10:30 to help you and teach you. You can also message me through Class Dojo or use my work email which is wheadonc11@hwbcymru.net .You can complete your work in your HWB account, which we have been using for the whole of the Autumn Term and you are very good at getting on to it. It saves automatically and I will be able to see it and leave some comments to say how well you have done. If you would prefer to write your work out that’s great- take a photo and upload it to HWB or Class Dojo for me to see a few children have been doing this and I can still attach comments.
Remember to keep yourselves healthy and fit whilst you are at home, complete your 10 minutes activity of walking, skipping, running etc a day, relax have fun with your family, go to your bedroom for alone time, play with your toys, eat some food or have a treat. When we get back to school we will get back on track so make sure to look after yourselves.
Mrs Issac has uploaded some excellent activities on Rainbow Rangers which anyone can use so take a look and have a go.
I am thinking about you all regularly and I really miss seeing everyone.
Thinking about you lots and sending good health to you all from Mrs Wheadon.

Topic Activities Playlist
Our new topic is a creative one. You are going to get the chance to express yourself creatively.
WALT: to express myself through a creative media.
Creative media can be drama, music, art, movies, printing, model making etc. or a mixture of a few. The choice will be yours!
What’s that noise? A bash? A crash? A shake, a rattle or a low, bass hum? Which do you prefer – an acoustic singer or a booming brass band? A solitary voice singing sweetly and quietly or a magnificent choir lifting the roof? Take out your ear plugs as you journey through the valley of sound and find out about instruments, the sounds they make and how they are produced. Discover how sounds are made and which sounds travel the furthest. Then, sing up and compose a class song for the local talent contest, Class Factor. Can you write a number one hit? Be sure to stand up straight, warm up your voice and sing your heart out.
Look at this web page to learn about different parts of music so you can compose your own

Which is your favourite? Which makes you cringe? Which makes you want to dance? Which makes you want to cry? Now, I want you to explain your thoughts and feelings when listening to one piece of music. How do you like to express yourself? You can:
Either
- 1. Create a word map. OR
2. Create a picture map.
Blooms: Research your favourite music, singer, song . Find the answer to at least three of the following questions.
- What happened after their first ?
• How many records have they written?
• What is the best one?
• Who was it that they admire the most?
• Name the top ten songs?
• Describe what happened after …… - Write down some facts ?
- Make up your own questions and answer them – What do you want to know
Present this in your own style.
Something for fun! – Have a go at this.
Have fun !
Mrs Wheadon
