The Bluebells class enjoyed making tattie scones and link sausages at cookery. We all took turns using the frying pan and were very safe and careful. We were also ALL brave enough to taste either the sausages or tattie scones.

FAOL – Transition CRM Sensory Rose
The boys in the Transition class have been learning about the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh (7 June 1868 – 10 December 1928).
He was a Scottish architect, designer, watercolourist and sculptor and extremely influential within the Arts and Crafts movement and Art Nouveau in the United Kingdom.
We discussed his famous works and buildings and also the tragic fires which destroyed part of the Glasgow School of Art building where Mrs Macdonald studied.
I’m sure you will agree that these beautiful Mackintosh inspired roses are fabulous! Lots of different sensory textures were used. Well done boys, successful learners.

IDL Music – percussion sounds
Successful Learners Confident Individuals Effective Contributors
The Snowdrops have been playing with the Gruffalo Chorus Game on the SMARTboard and have listened to different sounds made by all the Gruffalo story characters. We decided to make our own sounds for each of the animals. Everyone enjoyed exploring percussion instruments and the different sounds they could make. The Snowdrops took turns to choose an animal from the story and then decide which percussion instrument would make their sound. We made lots of noise, playing our instruments when an animal picture was held up.

IDL HWB – Baking Gruffalo Crumble
Effective Contributors/Successful Learners
We have heard about Gruffalo crumble from our Scottish theme story and decided to bake some for ourselves. Everyone contributed really well in lots of different ways – touching, tasting, smelling and exploring different crumble ingredients. We used lots of self-help skills, cutting, mixing and pouring in different ways. It was very tasty!

Monday morning started with our morning group where we write our day, date and month as well as come together to sing and dance in our seasons song. The boys enjoy using props to dress up as each season and can identify the current season which is winter. After morning group Reece sets up our snack shop and invites his friends one by one to select the correct coins to pay for their snacks.
*Responsible Citizens* *Confident Individuals* *Successful Learners*
The Moonbeams have been busy preparing for and making Pizza this week. They created posters to show what flavours of Pizza they were selling and made a shopping list of ingredients to take to Tesco. On Friday afternoon the children very responsibility made the Pizza and then visited the Comets class to sell for 10p per slice. The children used their maths skills to recognise the coins and numbers on the till. They were very happy as we had some left over to take home to their families.
