Halloween

This week has been filled with lots of Halloween fun. On Monday we did lots of fun Halloween dances. On Tuesday we did Halloween Science activities. We placed orange and green sweets around the edges of a plate and used a water dropper to fill the middle with water. Some pupils were able to use the water dropper and then watch and the colour moved to the inside of the plate creating a pumpkin. All pupils enjoys watching the colour move. We also make pumpkin fizzers again some pupils were able to use the droppers and add vinegar to the experiment with gestural support.

IDL – HWB

As part of our topic “A Bug’s Life” we have been out in the sensory garden exploring and looking for different bugs. But once we return to the classroom we are all confident individuals and are able to stand and wash our hands. Washing hands is very important at the moment – but even more important if you have been exploring the ground outside. All children are supported to wash their hands with soap and water. Some are able to push the dispenser and get their own soap, and some are supported with this. They are then encouraged to sing the handwashing song to ensure all germs are washed away.

IDL – Numeracy

During numeracy this week we have lots of fun exploring little jumping frogs. We had to focus and develop fine motor skills to push down using our finger to make the frog jump forward. We then used bricks to measure how many bricks the frog could jump over. There were lots of smiles at the frog jumper across the table. All pupils were supported to push down on the frog to make it jump. Some were able to do this independently. Some pupils were able to count the bricks that the frog hand jumped over. We were all successful learners joining in and taking turns.
