This week has been full of lots of different science activities and experiments. On Tuesday we had a day of science. The people from the dark sky observatory came with an inflatable planetarium. We all went inside to view the stars and the planets. We experience some science activities with students from Grange. We got to explore robots and made our own circuits with the ladies from Dumfries House. We also enjoyed exploring the stomp rockets.
We also conducted some science experiments in the classroom. We all really enjoy water play to we investigated floating and sinking. The children were confident individuals in placing the items in the water and then had some capacity fun filling and emptying different containers.
This week we enjoyed out social outing. We all climbed on the school bus, made sure we were safe by putting on our seatbelts and set off to see the animals at Pets at Home. We have been reading and doing activities related to our LGBT book “The Family Book” which explains how al families are different. It shows different animals and different pets. So we thought we would go and see all the different pets you can buy at the pet shop. Everyone really enjoyed this. We explored the shopping looking at the furry animals first which were cute. We even got to see two dogs having a haircut. Everyone then really loved watching the fish.
After exploring the pet shop we went to Burger King to have fun in the soft play and have our snack. Everyone enjoyed a little bit of something and then it was back on the bus and back to school. 
The Makaton literacy group this week were experiencing vegetable signs and symbols. We looked at the symbols and tried to copy the signs. We then had fun printing and painting with the vegetables. They were all confident individuals rolling and moulding the playdough do make different vegetables and add details to the different pies.

Yesterday we made some lovely Valentine’s treats to take home to our parents. We melted white chocolate and then added sweets and then put it in the fridge to harden. Later in the afternoon we broke it into lots and lots of pieces.
We also made cards. On the card was a piece of pizza – saying you stole a pizza my heart! We chose a friend in the school to send it to and then posted them in the post box in the atrium.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

We made grey icing to cover the biscuit then we added a white chocolate button for a nose, two edible eyes and the fizzy laces for his whiskers. The children were able to confidently choose each item they needed to make their own rat.
