Responsible Citizens – Climate Change Conference

The Transition class had a wonderful Climate Change Conference day on Thursday. We joined with Oak class online to discover what Climate Change is. We then shared some tasks to do throughout the day to help prevent Climate change. Transition class were responsible for issuing an Energy Audit using our literacy and numeracy skills. We also discovered the food miles involved in our lunches using our numeracy skills.  Our last task was to prompt upcycling where we made some templates for a forthcoming whole school project. We met again in the afternoon to share our progress with Oak class. What a fun and busy day.

Successful Learners – SQA Recognising Character

The Transition class were Successful Learners when they completed some more work on their class book. Before the October holiday the class used tea to stain some fake fur to represent the first time we meet Iorek the bear and he is working in a factory. The class compared their dried fur to original fur to confirm it looked dirty enough! They added it to their physical description sheet where they had coloured Iorek using warm and cold colours.

We also looked at Lyra’s physical description and discovered that she wears denim and can be quite grubby. We got some old jeans and matched them to the character Lyra in our story.

Successful Learners   Confident Individuals

As part of our Food theme the Moonbeams wanted to explore bird seeds and make bird feeders. The children worked well together to make the feeders. The Moonbeams will hang them up around the sensory garden on Monday and hopefully observe the birds eating them.

 

The Moonbeams had great fun singing songs about food using the stretchy band.

ECO/SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT – G.G.2 ZERO HUNGER

*Responsible Citizens* *Effective Contributors*

As part of our school Eco targets this year, we learned that people around the world suffer from hunger and we are lucky to have access to food in our school. We looked at how we can make small changes so that we are not wasting food. We used some old bananas that were almost binned to make Banana Muffins!

IDL – Health and Wellbeing

Our theme is Oliver’s vegetables. We have been learning about the different vegetables and some of the children are able to identify what each vegetable is using their words or symbols.  We explored the vegetables, put them in basin, washed them and then carefully with physical support from staff were able to cut some of the vegetables. We enjoyed smelling, feeling and on occasion tasting some of them.

The children were able to confidently hold the knife with support from the staff to cut up the vegetables from the story.  We then used the cut up vegetables to make some artwork in the afternoon. We printed using them. We looked at the different patterns and textures it created on the page. It was great fun.
