Digital Learning in the Beech class.

We had lots of fun this week learning through ICT and experimenting with different types of ICT equipment in school.  #NDLW19

We expored lots of different games and technology-based toys!

The girls really enjoyed practising our poritional language through the use of BeeBots.

A QR Code treasure hunt!   Touch Tronic numeracy app on the iPad. These turtles have instructions recorded on them which instruct us to find another turtle with a different number on it.

We used a digital timer to record how many baskets we can shoot in one minute… The boys played snakes and Ladders with digital dice!

We used a ‘Chatter Block’ as a talking dice that told us upon rolling it which number to find on the ground and then instructed us how to travel to it!

Science Week Wonders…

The Beech class have thoroughly enjoyed Science Week.  We started off with a Science themed day where we visited lots of different rooms in the school where fun science experiments were set up.  We were effective contributors as we took turns and waited made our predictions.

 

The rest of the week we focused on learning about our senses.  We completed an experiment based on each sense.

WBD – Author visit

We had a special visitor come into school today. Greta Yorke and her friend Moira came to Willowbank today to read Greta’s book “The Tartan Witch”. The whole school got to listen to Greta and Moira tell the story about the tartan witch. Greta had also organised some lovely activities related to the book for the children to do after listening to the story. The activities were : exploration of the characters from the book, creating our own tartan using special wooden blocks with different lines on them, a matching game and a potion station. Everyone really enjoyed listening to the story and were effective contributors when engaging with the activities.

Pizza Pals

Our cookery class this week was a wee bit different with our boys in Transition inviting the Beech class along to enjoy some Pizza with us. All the boys were Confident Individuals when taking the orders of the boys and girls from Beech and creating the pizza they chose on the order form. Of course Beech returned the favour so our boys could enjoy a pizza of their own as well. Well done to both classes involved.
