Love is in the air this Valentines days! We decided to win over our valentines with some beautiful poems. We wrote them all together then stuck them onto a beautiful love heart border. The poem we chose was..

Roses are Red

Violets are Blue

Sugar is Sweet

And so are you!

Afterwards cupid arrived to deliver our Valentines day cards. We were all lucky to get one!

Last Friday we were lucky enough to be invited to the café run by Transition class and Pine class. We had a fantastic snack and enjoyed socialising with the other classes. This week we finally got round to doing our Chinese New Year inspired science lessons. We made fireworks in a Jar and magic chopsticks.

Last Friday we had an awesome Scottish Party to celebrate Burn’s Day. We danced to Scottish music and all wore different tartans. It was a great way to end the week! This week we have been working hard on telling the time, our favourite game was clock bingo.

Our outing this week was to the garden centre where we decided to buy a proper bird feeder to attract more birds into the sensory garden for the British Bird Watching Week. We also tried out some of the garden furniture for fun!

After watching and learning about all the animals that have been affected by the fires in Australia, we decided to help the animals that live around us. We made food chains out of pipe cleaners and Cheerios, then hung them out in the sensory garden.

After learning about the Glasgow underground and how old it was, we decided to look at how other transport has changed over the years. We watched some videos with lots of old and new types of transport. Afterwards we tested our knowledge by sorting out images into old and new!

As part of our Glasgow theme we  decided to learn why it rains so much in Glasgow.  We learnt all about the water cycle and then completed 2 science experiments. We recreated the water cycle in a bag, then made a rain cloud inside a jar. It was awesome!

We continued our Glasgow theme learning all about the Glasgow underground. We took our own pretend trip all around and even learnt a song we could sing all about the subway!

Its been a great first week back after the holidays. We didn’t take long to get into learning all about Glasgow. We were inspired by Glasgow’s Coat of Arms and decided to make our own. We decorated them with pictures of things we liked.

We also made a super healthy vegetable stir fry in cookery this week. It had peppers, mushrooms, carrots, garlic and soy sauce.

Its been full on Christmas this week in Comet Class. We had our nativity performance on Tuesday which was fabulous. Well done to everyone and thanks for coming! We have also had another visit from Santa this week, he had presents for everyone! Our Christmas party followed from Santa’s visit. We played games like pass the parcel, musical statues and a best dancer competition.

Excitement is continuing to build in Comet Class as we get closer to Christmas. This week our favourite Christmas activities were finishing the Christmas pictures with Play-Doh, making paper wreaths and meeting Santa! We also loved wearing our Christmas jumpers on Friday.
