Task Task Task Task Introduction: Who is Henri Matisse? Henri Matisse is a French artist known for making colourful works of art. He used a variety of materials in his work, including paint, bronze (for his sculptures), and he also made drawings using charcoal. Matisse began to use collage as he got older. To find out more about Matisse watch the following videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLgSd8ka0Gs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy4DUpsC22c Focus: Matisse liked to work with brightly

coloured paper and would ‘paint with

scissors’ to cut out shapes and then arrange

them to create a vibrant, colourful collage.

He would use a mix of organic and geometric

shapes.

Geometric shapes – shapes that are

commonly found in geometry, such as

squares, triangles and rectangles.

Keep track of how many answers you get

correct.

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VmJDlOcb9YB3IC8zuxKO2clfiIQezJv__PwMdcfks8A/edit?usp=sharing How many questions did you get correct? How many dances did you do? No Computer? Dress up like you are from a specific decade 1920-2010. Put on some music from that era and dance how you think they would have danced.

Warm up: MOVE YOUR BODY! Test your catching skills with this warm up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhG7N-yM1TU You will need a ball or rolled up pair of socks (something you can throw and catch safely). OR Follow the exercises below! Put some music on to make it more enjoyable. Try to get them all done before the song ends and if you finish them all do them again!

Discussion: In week 4 we discussed simple machines. Here is a short rundown of what a simple machine is: Simple machines are machines that have few parts and are designed to transfer force to; move, pull, or lift something. Activity: This week, we’ll be making our own pulleys! Before we get started, here is an online video describing what a pulley is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiBcur1aqcg You’ll need materials from around your house. Watch me completing the construction: https://clickv.ie/w/JnXm Now that you’ve constructed your pulley, what can it carry? Is there any way you can make it stronger?

Organic shapes – shapes that are commonly

found in nature, usually with curved,

irregular lines.

Look at Matisse’s work below. Can you find the geometric and organic shapes?

The Snail 1953

The Horse, the Rider and the Clown 1943–4

The Sheaf 1953

Explore: One of Matisse’s final projects was to design the Chapelle du Rosaire (Chapel of Rosary) in Vence, France. See below:

e.g. 1920-1930 - Charleston

1940-1950 - swing

1960-1970 – hippy and disco

Main Activity: Running Events Watch Mr Henshaw’s Video Demonstration: https://clickv.ie/w/-Pfn There are many running events in the sport of Athletics with the aim to run as fast as you can, stay in your lane and beat the other competitors by being the first person to cross the finish line. Read below to find out the distances of each race! Short races: 100m and 200m. Middle length races: 400m. Longer length races: 800m and 1500m. There are also Hurdles (100m) and Relays (4 x 100m). There are other running events in Athletics however these are the events we do at Primary School level. Try these activities to train for these events! Short Distance Game: Washing Basket Relay Set up a basket 10m away from a starting line. Place a bunch of clothes or toys at the starting line. You have one minute to take one item at a time and put it in the washing basket and run back to grab another – continue until the time is up (no throwing your items in the basket only placing!). How many items can you get in the basket? Can you beat your score? Challenge someone in your house to see if they can beat your score! Long Distance Game: Continuous Running How long can you run for? Find some space, mark out a course and time yourself – how long can you keep moving without stopping? Grade 3/4s – Try to run for 3 minutes without stopping. Grade 5/6 – Try to run for 5 minutes without stopping. Remember find a good speed that you can maintain the whole time.

He also created a holiday celebration window for the Rockefeller Centre in New York. See below:

You are going to make your very own Matisse-inspired window using geometric and organic shapes. Watch this demonstration video: https://clickv.ie/w/8P-m 1. No pencils allowed! “Draw” with your scissors only!! 2. Cut out the shapes of your windows using white or black paper.

3. Cut paper shapes from coloured paper or newspaper/magazines in a variety of sizes. Make sure you include geometric, organic shapes and at least one repeating shape. 4. Compose (arrange) your shapes on your window shaped paper. Have some shapes overlap each other. Your collage can represent something or just be a totally abstract design.

1980-1990 – hip hop

2000-2010 – hip hop and trend dances e.g. floss

Hurdles Game: Jumping obstacle course Outside set up a number of items that you can jump over in a straight line, and make sure you have 3 big steps between your items. Please get parent permission before you set your course up! Set out a start line and a finish line – how long does it take you to complete your course? Try not to knock items down. Can you make your course bigger and trickier? Health: Healthy Food Bingo! Can you score a ‘BINGO’ this week by eating all the foods in one row in a day? Can you score more than 1 this week?

Fun Active Game at Home: Minute to Win It Games! Watch the video and choose an activity or 2 to play at home! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xwiTa_xVlM OR Ping Pong Blow Challenge Please play this game outside! Equipment you need to play: Cups & Ping Pong Ball.

4. Once you're happy with your arrangement you can glue down your design to create your vibrant window collage.

Challenge: Henri Matisse painted Open Window, Collioure in the summer of 1905. The light-filled scene is vibrant and inviting. He has used lots of colour, value (shade), lines and shapes. If you are up the challenge, you will be drawing your own Matisse inspired ‘Open Window’.

Step 1: Fill up 6 cups with water all the way up to the top and place them in a straight line.

Step 2: Fill the cup at the end with no or only a small amount of water – make sure your cups are the same height. Step 3: Put a ping pong ball at the first cup – your challenge is to blow the ping pong ball all the way to the end in the shortest amount of time. If the ball comes out of the cups you must start at the start again! Step 4: Compete against someone and challenge them – who can reach the end the fastest? Do you have more cups? Challenge yourself, how many can you do and still reach the end?

Open Window, Collioure, 1905 Watch Ms Keem demonstrate how to draw a window and create your own ‘Open Window’ https://clickv.ie/w/JQ-m. What can you see out the window? Boats like Matisse or something different? You can draw what you can see out a window at home or create a scene using your imagination.
