Home Learning summer week 4

I’m missing you all so much I thought this week we could be there for each other. This week I’d like you to decorate a heart (either print out, screenshot and use iPad, or re draw) and write a message to your classmates and teachers.

Be kind to yourself, you’re doing the best you can! I miss you all so much, I would love to be in The Create room sharing our Art lessons together, learning and laughing together, but for now we must stay safe at home. Each week I have tried to find you all art activities that everyone can do, no matter what we have at home. You were all given a book for your art and as long as you have a pen or pencil you can do my sessions. I have loved receiving your emails and photos. The work you are producing is fantastic. Keep at it, keep sharing, so we can celebrate our creativity together.

in Art this week…

Everyone this week has been set a 3D art activity. Below I have added recipes for home made clay and salt dough (something to suit everyone, take a look at each one before deciding). You can of course use store bought clay if you have some. If you have children in different year groups, it might be worth while having one big session and make double the clay.

The weeks are passing so quickly and we all miss our school family, but I can honestly say that your emails, messages, beautiful art work and photos of our new way of learning, have brought us closer.

In Art…

I am missing our Art lessons, I am missing our Create room, I am missing our school family. Thank goodness for E-mail, I adore getting your messages, the photographs of your artwork and your funny stories. So keep them coming, If you have not managed to send me your work yet, you can send it together whenever you remember. ( r.curtis@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk )

I really like the picture at the top of my blog this week. We all have those days where we don’t want to, or feel we can do anything, have a look, what step have you been sat on this week? How can you move up the steps, how can we help each other take a chance? Tomorrow is always another day, a chance to start again.

Well, we should have been starting our Food Technology this week and I am so sad that we can not do this, but we can still do fabulous Art activities.

As we settle into home learning, we realise what we miss the most, I miss the ‘hello’s’ and the stories, the hugs and the happy faces of successful learning from our children. I miss all the staff at Our Lady’s, the support and kindness. But I also have found it in other ways, the internet is the most wonderful invention, we keep in contact with loved ones. I have daily facetime with my Mum, who lives around 300 miles away. i have lovely emails with your art and chat. We have our whole school community in prayer each night. It is often in the darkest skies, we find the brightest stars…
