50 Things – Bug Hotel

Responsible Citizen/Confident Individual

To make our bug hotel, we recycled our plastic bottles and cut a space in the side. We had to use good looking skills to find different natural materials such as sticks, stones and fir cones, to stack inside our bottles to provide shelter for the bugs.
After finishing our bug hotels, we placed them in the garden to see if any bugs would be attracted to our hotels. We visited a few weeks later and found a few creepy crawlies in our hotels so we were very pleased to have helped the wildlife  in our school grounds. Good job, Asteroids!

The Transition class were Successful Learners when working on their SQA topic Recognising Character in Fiction. They class worked on physical descriptions of Iorek the Bear from ‘His Dark Materials’.  The class noticed that fur (fake of course) that we had was too clean compared to Iorek when we meet him for the first time.

This week in the Pine Class we have been participating in some activities all about Harvest.

We made bread dough, which was great, a lovely sensory experience, great hand exercise – squashing, gripping and rolling!!

We have continued in literacy to work on our letters, this week ‘C’, looking for things around the classroom that start with the letter and making a Cookie Monster using lots of different shapes.

We have started working our SQA Communication Unit – Recognising Characters in Fiction, we have chosen the story ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear,  What do you see?’ to start with. We get to pick our favourite animal, work on our colours sorting, practice our Makaton signs for all the colours and the different animals, and we will make some very creative Art work.  Below is a link to a song that we liked.
