50 Things – Barefoot

Confident Individuals  Successful Learners

The Snowdrops showed lots of confidence when they had the opportunity to explore grass with their bare feet and hands. We were lucky to have some lovely weather and enjoyed the sensation of feeling the earth beneath our feet and the grass between our fingers and toes. Well done, Snowdrops!

Successful Learners    Effective Contributors

The Snowdrops enjoyed some time outdoors during the recent warm, dry weather! We took along some chalk  and had lots of fun making pictures on the ground.  Everyone participated actively in drawing round  a shape and filling it in with chalk.  We made our shapes look like lovely suns to match the good weather!

50 Things – Rain Gauge

Effective Contributors       Responsible Citizens        Successful Learners

The Snowdrops all showed interest in creating rain gauges using recycled plastic bottles.  They responded well to fun water play activities, making lots of rain using our class watering cans.  It has been raining a lot lately and we have also experienced playing in the rain; splashing in puddles is fun!  We have visited our school garden and found places to put our rain gauges.  We will keep checking them to see how much rain has fallen.

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.
