We had fun dancing and playing games with our friends today.

Then we had a small snack in class.

Earlier the circles played a monster counting game , whilst the  triangles and squares had a bat themed addition activity to complete.

We practised learning the beat in tunes with lots of fun songs and activities that Mr McLean showed us.

Being a spider is such a lot of fun!

Last Friday we enjoyed making our own creations.

I might want to borrow this amazing make up  kit!

This laptop looks great!

Have fun !!

We have been learning about how important it is to listen. When we listen carefully we know what to do and can also learn new things. We cannot talk and listen at the same time, and need to take turns.

We played a game where we had to listen carefully to our partner who chose an item for us to colour and told us which colour to use. It was important to listen as our partner only gave the instruction once. Our partner then told us if we had listened well and followed the instruction.

Using the letter stories, this week we have practised r, n and m.

Many of us have these letters in our names. We are getting very good at writing our names neatly with letters formed correctly.

Our first session this term playing with the toys from the pod was very successful. What fun w,e had using our imaginations.

Welcome back everyone!

We have enjoyed playing a new literacy game.

We needed to find lower case letters hidden in the sand and match them to their corresponding capital letter.

We also played more familiar games.

We enjoyed Kodaly with Mr McLean, where we practised singing and clapping different rhythms.

This term we will be exploring a number of festivals and learning about what we celebrate, why and how. We discovered that dancing is often a part of a celebration.We will be learning a number of Scottish dances too.

In numeracy some children practised their counting skills.

Other children learned about how we can use beads to represent numbers. They had fun challenging their partner to make a number or guess the number they had made. Then it was time to use beads when adding numbers together.

We all used the sticks to count the beat of 8, which helped our counting, coordination and rhythm. We counted in time to the tune of the Scottish dance we learned later in the afternoon.
