Hi

Everyone gets grumpy and angry sometimes… it’s natural. Especially in these unusual times. Here is a short video talking about what we can do to calm ourselves and not get even more upset. Hope you find it useful. Please share any tips you have for calming down when you get upset.

Hi there,

Well, I tried –  not very successfully… I’m going to have another go at some animals and post them.

Here you go Nicole – figured out how to do it!

So, who is going to get the next one…

Hi

Here is a video explaining what would happen if you could fold a piece of paper  20 or 30 times (it’s impossible – but just imagine) and how high the paper would reach. It also explains the tricky concept of exponential growth really well. Try answering the multiple choice quiz after it.

Hi

When I go to London I love going to the Natural History Museum, it is absolutely amazing for me to see all of the incredible displays. The link below is for their interactive website – so if you are interested in fossils, animals, meteorites etc. check it out. You can take a virtual tour and listen to Sir David Attenborough’s commentary  (he makes the most amazing wildlife documentaries). Do you know any museums that have  virtual tours?

Hi there,

Here is a short video showing you how to draw Doraemon. Why not have a go… and if you could make a short instructional video about how to draw something simple – please make one and upload it to the Google Drive folder of work for the blog. I’m not a good artist – but I tried… When I lived in Japan, one of the children I taught showed me how to do it.

Hi

Here is another great link for getting moving. It has movement and using your body as a percussion instrument! Give it a go! Let me know what you think about it please.
