This week we sang songs and recited a poem before spending time chatting to our Hallhouse buddies. We asked them all about what they liked doing at school and told them all about what we are learning in class. Everyone always has a smile on their face all afternoon. Next week we are looking forward to having a wee party together to celebrate the King’s Coronation.
We have been enjoying PE with Daryl and Hannah from Kilmarnock Football Club who have been delivering football sessions to us every Tuesday. We have been lucky enough to get outdoors in the sunshine.
Today we had our second come and play session with our buddies. We played outdoors, read stories, painted and had lots of fun getting to know each other.
We used the skills we learned at our Buddy training to help us.
Today we started the first of our visits to Hallhouse Care Home as part of our Intergenerational Topic.
It was a beautiful sunny day and we enjoyed our walk down through Fenwick. When we arrived the residents were all ready and waiting for us to play board games.
Everyone had fun together and we learned so many interesting things about our new buddies. Mrs Ross and Mrs Moore were so proud of every one of our P5/6 team who showed respect, kindness and empathy.
We are looking forward to our return visit next week and Claire from Hallhouse told us that the residents have been excited about getting to know us all.
As we prepare to work with our ECC Buddies, today we met Ariana and Sophie from Speech and Language Therapy in East Ayrshire who delivered some training.
We learned about the importance of being down face to face with our Buddy, Observing, Waiting and Listening – OWL and taking the lead from our Buddy.
Thanks to our fabulous helpers from p5/6 at our school development night for parents. They spoke with confidence, excitement and shared their ideas while gathering lots of new ideas. Well done 👏🏻
We had a lovely afternoon sharing our learning with our family. We learned about antonyms and synonyms, wrote bucket lists, created timelines of our lives and also read for information about human lifecycles.
Everyone agreed that it was a nice way to end the World Book Day fun.
Primary 5/6 had a fun filled morning of activities during World Book Day.
We wore fabulous costumes of our favourite charaters, went on a scavanger hunt, swapped books and tested our knowledge during the World Book Day quiz.
All the staff had disguised themselves reading a book and we had to gues who was who.
We moved to different classrooms to make bookmarks with Mrs Ross, design book spines with Miss Thomson, take part in a quiz with Miss Stevenson and make reading masks with Miss Galloway.
Thank you to Mrs Seeney for organising this day for us all.
