Lockdown Activities

With lockdown level 4 coming to an end at midnight tonight, I thought it would be a good idea to share some of the amazing learning many of you have completed and shared with me. It's not easy to keep motivated and focused on learning when we're not in the classroom environment but you have all done a stirling job. I am proud of your efforts!

Create a word cloud promoting friendships and how important it is to feel valued.

Lockdown Diary Entry: 

This morning after I woke up and brushed my teeth, I came and set up the device I was working on which was a laptop. After I set up I did some of the work Mrs. Agnew gave me. At 9:45 I had a break and after I had my break, I did my Olympic slides with my friend Daniel. Then I drew a panda for my arts and crafts time and then I carried on doing my learning.

Our Common Home - Laudato Si

                             Our responses to the BOT initiative for a better world for all.

Room 6 were inspired by the letter sent to the children of the world by Pope Francis, Laudato Si. It gave us many insights into the state of our world and how, if all people across the globe work together, we can make a difference for ourselves and others. 

We began our journey by drafting our ideas as images in our writing books. We divided the page into sections, like in a stained glass window. Then we added blurbs to go with our pictures. We coloured them in, so we could get a good idea of what the final result would look like.

When we were happy with our Draft copies, we cellotaped half a page of overhead transparency sheeting over it. Then we started the fun part of colouring and writing the final blurbs if felts. It was really important that we coloured in one direction and didn't leave any gaps because otherwise they wouldn't look like real stained glass windows. The final job was to mount them on black cardboard which Mrs Yumul did for us, and wrote our names. We were going to hang them in our windows in the classroom but they are now up in the foyer of the school.

We are proud of our efforts and we hope they will motivate those who see them to think about the actions we take and could take to make our world a better place for us all to live in.
