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.

Travelling Tales

Call all storytellers and creators!

Do you like stories? Do you enjoy using your imagination? Can you make a picture to go with a story? If that sounds like you (and I'm guessing it does!), here's a fun project that you might like to be part of.

Travelling Tales is an opportunity to connect with other families in our school to make a story. 

If you would like to be part of a storytelling team, use this link  to find a Google form like this:

Fill out the form and save it. Nicola will put you into a team and let you know which part of the story you will be telling. You will also need to make an illustration to go with it.

We are excited to say that we will share the stories with our school community on our Blogs. Then, we will have lots of new tales to enjoy.

After all, we all love stories, right?

Rock Art

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 all around the neighbourhood.

Would you like to get involved? Easy!
Just find 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!

Make a quacky duck.

Try this craft and make a quacky duck card.

You will need a sheet of paper or thin card, pens and scissors.

First, fold the paper in half and in half again.

Now, open the paper out so that it is folded lengthways only with a fold in the middle. With your scissors, make a small cut around halfway between one edge and the middle fold.

Push the two sides of the cut back to make two little folds. This is your duck beak.

Next, open the paper out and refold it like a greetings card so that the duck beak is in the middle.

Gently push and pull the duck beak so that it folds out from the flat card. Now, when you open and close your card, the beak will move up and down.

Finally, it's time to decorate your card. Draw your duck's face and body around the beak. Add eyes and feathers. Now your duck is ready to get quacking!
