Diggable Technology in the Pine Room.

This week we are highlighting Diggable Technology in School , this also ties in with Article 17 of the UNCRC which states all children and young people should be able to access information, particularly from the media.  Just now we are using technology every Wednesday to access school information via Teams for Assemblies, and we also get to see our friends in other classes on the big screen – Well done Mr Campbell, we think you should get a Diggable Technology Certificate next week!!!

In the Pine Room our favourite pieces of Technology are our AAC Devices, we use it to communicate in different ways, telling the Pine Ladies how we are feeling or making choices.

During Morning Group we are effective contributors and communicate our news to each other using our Big Macks.

Now at home how do you use your technology – do you listen to music on a phone, watch movies on an iPad, skype family members on your computer? Bring in some photos please from our information wall.

We have been successful learners in Science and taken our knowledge outdoors and planted our lettuce, spinach and some onions – in amongst our flowers!!!

In Social Studies we were working on SDG 17, sustainability and being part of a team.

Finishing out IDL Art ready for our wall display.

Practicing for Sports day.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Successful Learners – Looking After Ourselves

The Beech pupils have been exploring different aspects of personal care this term.  This week we focused on hair care by opening our own salon enterprise!  We took turns in our small groups to explore different aspects of running a salon from dealing with hair care, to operating a till and scheduling appointment times.  We looked at lots of different products and even designed our own hair styles and colours.  We were very successful learners at each activity station.

Week Beginning Monday 3rd of May.

Our Eco Warriors – Caring for our School Grounds
The Sungazers were Responsible Citizens as they enjoyed the great outdoors and took part in some gardening.  These sessions help develop hand and eye coordination and build physical strength as we prepared the soil for planting. These gardening sessions promote sensory development as the children feel and smell the different plants and herbs in the soil.  Gardening teaches patience and responsibility as it requires daily attention and care as they water and take care of the planted seeds.   The children are also developing social skills and as they remain engaged, work together and wait for the results. We will keep you posted with our results.

Responsible Citizens – Gardening

Although the ribbon has not been cut top open the greenhouse and the roof isn’t 100% finished. the Transition boys were Responsible Citizens and managed to make an upcycled table to put their seedling on. Hopefully the sunflowers will continue to grow before being added to a whole school meadow.
