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.
