Modelling Clay in Room 14
Put the clay into the hands of children and see how it stimulates their imagination and creativity. Watch as they enjoy the texture and doughy consistency of the clay and try to mould it into interesting shapes.
Clay modelling is an activity that is therapeutically beneficial to Children in many ways.
Uses and benefits of playing with clay:
1. Improves hand-eye coordination skills

Monday Morning Meeting
Good morning and welcome to this wet Monday.
The Still Life challenge continues this week. Try grouping the objects you choose together and treat it like a piece of art posed for you to draw! This will be more challenging (but attractive) than just sketching individual items - use a nice cloth or plate mat to put the objects on as part of your sketch.
There are challenges this week:
- Write a reflection about your Spoken Word feedback and what you need to do to finish it off. Include how you plan to work with that feedback.
- Create and share a photo of your creative Daffodil for the Cancer Society 'Daffodil Day'. (Make one rather than 'colour in'.
- Send in a photo of your Still Life sketches - keep perfecting your observation skills and re-crafting to refine the detail of your sketching.

Friday Morning Meeting
Hi Room 14
Friday! We are nearly there.
I hope that you have enjoyed your week of engaging with your learning from home.
Our final Spoken Word performance will be recorded on Flipgrid on Wednesday, August 26th. Keep practising and make sure that when you make your recordings in Flipgrid that you use great lighting (don't have a window behind you) and that you are dressed (not in your PJs!) after all - we are at school. Remember this for our Google Meets too!
Many of you have asked if you have to memorise this poem for your performance. It is one of the guidelines to memorise your poem and not use cues cards. See how you go with that. This project has lots of different skills you are developing and growing in. Believe you can do it!
Our Google Meets next week are on the schedule below. These Google Meets are workshops to help you now with your Spoken Word or Narratives but also when we begin our next project of writing narratives, so it is important that you don't miss out.
Write 3 things that you are grateful for...
Please create a google slide and share it with Mrs Swan.
You can upload photos, videos or words.
Be Creative and Inspiring.
