Bluebirds looked at ways to stay heathy and what it takes to keep them that way. All children came up with what they did to stay heathy. Here are some ideas that you could use at home.
To keep your body heathy
Bluebirds watched an online assembly this week and created some beautiful “Support Balloons.”
Bluebirds were excited to see some souvenirs that Charlie and Frankie’s Nan brought back from Egypt. Can you see the scarab beetle? Which one is the sarcophagus?
Bluebirds this afternoon looked at copyright and ownership as part of Safer Internet Day. Mrs Parry told the children the following statement: Just because I have a copy of an image or song that does not mean it is mine. The children then talked about if they thought this was true or not.
They looked at Yusuf and Ayra’s work and talked about if that work belonged to them or if it belonged to anyone who had a copy. As Ayra had worked so hard on her picture, it means that it belongs to her only and if you wanted a copy then you would need to ask.
The class watched a video about two characters that were disagreeing about who owned a picture, both felt they had created the picture on the computer. The children came up with ideas to help them solve this problem. First the children talked about having a name on the image. When no name could be found, the characters looked at other ways to prove who owned the work. They came up with looking at a folder on the computer to see whose folder it was in.
Like the character in the video, the children all save their work in a folder with their name on.
This week Bluebirds have been having music in the afternoon. Today, the children listen to a song by Toots and the Maytal’s called 54-46 (That’s My Number). The class all seemed to really enjoy the music and, as they listened carefully, they could name the instruments.
We have also been playing the xylophones along to the song, by the very famous Bob Marley, Three Little Birds.
During Computing, Bluebirds have started research their history topic Ancient Egypt using Swiggle or Kids Safe Search. Bluebirds used both search engines for research on Ancient Egypt.
First, they wrote a question they wanted an answer too, such as – Who was the first Pharoah? After they typed in the question, they found the answer from one of the many websites.
They then thought about another question they wanted answers to on their topic and looked them up, in a safe online environment.
Here are some ideas the children could use at home, Mummies, Afterlife, Pharaohs, Daily Life, Food/Drink, School and Education. How many answers can they find?
