Lighthouses made from Pringle pots. Yes Pringle pots. I know that a large pot of Pringles contain an entire days worth of calories but I did have help in eating all 30 tubes so that my year 1 class could complete this project. I provided the children with a Pringle tube, strips of coloured paper, a clear plastic cup, a paper plate, glue sticks and scissors. Applying the red and white strips of paper to the Pringles tube was a great opportunity to bring Maths into the session, by encouraging use of a repeating pattern. The children then added detail using black paper for windows and doors. The also use felt tips on the reverse of a paper plate to create a rock and sea impression. Finally to finish we popped an electric tea light on the top of the tube and covered the inside of the clear plastic cup with a thin yellow paper which allowed the tea light to shine through. This was a really enjoyable lesson and look great on display at the front of the school. Don't forget to get some help with eating all the Pringles!

Fun learning activities and crafts, almost always inspired by children's picture books.
Yesterday we were talking about how we can be a light to the world....who can we show kindness and love to? Who is hard to love that really needs love? What does that look like? John 8:12 says When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, " I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." So, then we thought it'd be fun to do a craft to remind us. Thank you, Pinterest. Once again I fall into your black hole and come out with a plan to bring some creative fun to my kids! They brought them to their rooms for night lights & they LOVE them!! You'll need: red Solo cups (round, not the squared ones) clear smaller cups battery powered tea lights white strips of paper, or white tape (abut an inch wide) black construction paper glue

Noah----------- A little bit above the center, make a strong dark dot with a small circle around it. With the brass ring on the dot, make a a circle at with the first available hole. This will be where the blades begin. With the brass ring on the dot, make another larger circle at 4 mm. This is how far the windmill blades will go out. How do windmills work?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3JzgSnW_EE Interesting video about older water windmills Check out this video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/SNlc8Jj1F-Q This is a very nice and peaceful video to play with music and windmills while students are working on their pictures. It is more visual and inspirational rather than educational.

Last week we learned all about Maine, another addition to our post card project. On the front: State Flag of Maine, "Where in the United states?" mini book, and the state quarter. On the back is a lighthouse, labeled with all of the parts of a lighthouse. We spent some time looking at photos of real lighthouses and comparing them, noting their similarities. We also discussed what lighthouses are for. To demo the concept, we used a dark room for night time, a flashlight to represent the light house, a box for a ship, and pillows for rocks. The ship crashed into the rocks without the lighthouse to guide it! Inside: Left side has a Maine layer book, a map of Maine, and a coloring book page showing some things found in Maine including the state bird and tree, a map, and a lobster (if we weren't vegetarian, that would have been a fun cooking lesson) Middle: our Main postcards - we got 2 of them and they both happened to have maps on them! They also have lots of tiny pictures of all kinds of things found in Maine. We spent a long time studying these. The folded page is a compound word worksheet. "Lighthouse" is a compound word, so that led us to explore other compound words and practice writing them and saying each part of the word. The boat cards show all kinds of different boats, because there are a lot of boats in Maine! We used these for various activities: classifying and sorting boats by size, mode of propulsion, function, etc. Right: Map of Maine (lots of maps this time), showing the state capital, Augusta. And a Maine geography activity. We looked at a map and learned how to use the compass to determine North South East and West And lastly, is Levi's moose! The antlers were supposed to be oak leaves, but he chose these from a bush in front of our house. Levi it out on his own, and then decided to make it into a mask by adding eye holes.
Monday school began with maths and a science lesson on light. We then read together the book "A Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge" by Hildegarde Swift. Set in New York City, it tells the story of a lighthouse that is feeling overshadowed by the George Washington bridge which has been built next to it. We are using this as a springboard for a unit study based upon themes in the book such as lighthouses, boats, bridges, New York, personification etc. Books to read for our project. The children thoroughly enjoyed the book "A Walk in New York" and learnt lots of interesting things about the city. The children then compiled a collage about New York. On Tuesday we read together Rachel Lyman Field's poem "I'd like to be a Lighthouse" and the older children wrote their own versions of the poem. "I'd like to be a lighthouse which guides ships so tall. I'd like to be a lighthouse who sees fish so small and when its dark, I shine so bright with a great big flashing light!" Nathanael age 7 "I'd like to be a lighthouse so everyone can see me. I'd like to be a lighthouse not a tree." Abigail age 4 Before piano lessons on Tuesday afternoon, we had some fun in the garden experimenting with different bridge designs to see which would hold the most coins. This was the strongest bridge, with the card folded into concertinas. On Wednesday we had a family day out to Liverpool. Two highlights of the day were seeing the boats docked in the Albert Docks and visiting the Merseyside Maritime Museum. Nathanael found this P&O poster of particular interest, as it had been recreated using Lego bricks. In the afternoon we visited the nearby Speke Hall, a National Trust property. Riding on the buggy. It was a beautiful afternoon, so we spent lots of time playing in the woods, the park and in the maze. It was lovely and quiet as the schools had started again after the summer holidays. Abigail would have been starting Reception today, if she had been going to school, so it was nice to mark the day with a family day out. Building on our theme of bridges,on Thursday we split up into two family teams and tried to construct bridges using newspaper and sellotape that would be strong enough to support two toy cars and passengers. Team A's bridge! Team B's bridge! That afternoon we visited a neighbouring homeschooling family, whose Mum, Elisabeth, is from America. She described to the children what is was like to grow up in America, she shared some stories from her childhood and talked about the similarities and differences between her homeland and England. She made the children popcorn to eat, which was a hit! As part of our Bible study, we mind mapped all the references to light we could think of in the Bible. In our technology session the children made their own working lighthouses out of plastic cups and some battery operated tea lights which I found at the pound shop. I hope to conclude this unit on the "Little Red Lighthouse" next week. On Friday morning we enjoyed a nature walk at a local park, documenting the changes in season, seeing how much the ducklings had grown since our last visit and picking blackberries to make into a pie.
