Introduction This term we have been supporting you to develop your knowledge of artists, materials and the Elements and Principles of Art. We have been encouraging you to try something new and be an artist! This week we have a few art projects for you to choose from based on your interests and materials.
Focus Read I am an artist by Marta Altes. Like the boy in the story, take some inspiration from your environment and get creating! Look at the options below and choose a project to focus on this week. You might like to try the other options for a fun activity during the school holidays!
Introduction What is friction? Friction is the resistance one object is subject to when trying to move over another object. Different surfaces offer different levels of resistance. Click here for a great YouTube clip discussing friction. Activity Your task this week is to experiment with friction. You’ll need something straight, blocks, and a toy car (or anything else that can roll).
Create an incline with the book:
Introduction
Timbre means the unique sound that
different instruments make. You can
recognise a piano or a drum from its sound.
First start by exploring the computer instruments found on the following links. Use the number keys to play them. Listen to how they sound different. Online piano
Introduction Staying active every day is very important to our development, growth and happiness! This week you will show your P.E teachers how you enjoy staying active at home! Firstly, let’s do a warm-up to get your body ready for action! Click me for a fun what would you rather warm up! Click me for a fun superhero work out!
AND/OR
Explore Option 1: Flower in vase
You will need:
Cardboard
Black texta
Flowers from the garden
Pencil or something to make holes through cardboard
Sticky tape (optional) Steps:
1. Take the piece of cardboard and using your texta, draw a vase. Think about line, shape, pattern and repetition when drawing your vase.
2. Use your pencil or pen to poke holes
at the top of the vase (flowers will go in here).
Roll the car down the incline, how fast did it go? What would happen if you lay a different material on this incline? 🤔 Try laying a shirt on the incline, does it make the car roll fast/slower? If it rolls faster, it decreases the friction, if it rolls slower it increases the friction. Challenge Can you find 2 materials that decrease friction (make the car roll faster), and 2 materials that increase friction (make the car roll slower)? Reflection
Take a photo/s of your incline
Write two things: 1. What is friction? 2. What were your results? Did you
find things that changed the friction?
Optional Save your reflection in Microsoft
Teams > Specialist > STEM > Files > Week 10. Save it as your name to
show Mr B.
Have a safe break, I’ll see you all next term!
Play a beat
Play the drums
Trumpet
Pan flute
Classical guitar
Violin
Spell your name and do the workout below!
Main Activity: How do you stay active? This week is your chance to show your P.E teachers your favourite thing to do to stay active at home! We would love for you to share a photo or video of you doing your favourite activity at home! Some ideas may include:
Riding your bike or scooter.
Taking your dog for a walk.
Jumping on your trampoline.
Running races with your family.
Throwing/bouncing your favourite ball into a hoop.
Kicking a football/soccer ball. Do you have a secret skill you want to share with your P.E teachers? We would love to see it! A secret skill is something you are really good at but don’t get to show it off often! An idea for a secret skill may be:
3. Go outside and look for flowers, dandelions, and anything else that would look good in your vase.
4. Put the stems in the holes so that the flowers are on display in your vase as a beautiful decoration.
5. If they’re a bit wobbly, you can put some sticky tape on the back.
Option 2: Clay Mobiles
You will need:
Large bowl
Mixing spoon
2 cups corn flour
1 cup white glue (Elmer’s from your local supermarket)

Textas or paints (optional)
Steps: 1. Place cornflour in a bowl. 2. Slowly add glue. Keep adding glue
until the mixture reaches a good consistency. If it’s too crumbly, add more glue. If it’s too sticky, add more corn flour. Add food colouring
Focus Make up a repeating number sequence to play on all the instruments. Eg. You could play 1, 3, 4, 1, 3, 4 Listen for what is the same and what is different when you play the same thing on different instruments. Reflection Which instrument did you like the most? Why? Don’t have a computer? Use different objects that you have at home to tap to make different sounds. You could use:
Chair
Table
Plastic or metal bowl
Empty ice-cream container
Container of rice or beads
Optional Upload your reflection on Microsoft Teams > Specialist > Performing Arts

Health: Relaxation techniques We are going to try two special relaxation techniques this week. It is important we relax our minds regularly to get us in a great mindset to learn. Lie down on your back. Have someone read you the script below.
to mixture if you’re adding it. Divide into several balls if you want to do multiple colours.
3. Knead it like you would a bread dough recipe, until it’s soft, light and malleable, not sticky at all
4. Create shapes - mould into your desired shape using hands or cookie cutter - circle, star, heart, triangle, square etc.
5. Add textured lines and patterns using a skewer.
6. Next, we need to make a hole
toward the top and the bottom for the wool/string to go through. You can use a pencil or skewer to push through clay.
6. Place your shapes on a tray somewhere safe to air dry – 2 to 4 hrs.
7. Once hard, colour/decorate with paint or textas if desired.
8. Tie wool/string through the holes to create strings of shapes, and tie the strings onto a stick, coat hanger or similar. Create a handle with string if necessary.
9. Hang somewhere in your house! **You could also make your mobile with craft items too if you can’t make clay.
Reflection:
How did this make you feel?
Which of the two techniques did you like best? Why?
Could you try these at home by yourself when you are getting ready to sleep?
