Digital Technology week

This week we were using different digital technologies. The children are confident individuals at using the SMARTboard at morning group. They are able to use the pen to overwrite their name and some can even use the tools at the side to change the colour independently. We used the Beebots this week and the children loved exploring them. They were able to push the arrow buttons in a sequence to make the Beebot move a specific way. Some were even able to remember to press the cross before starting a new sequence. They loved that the Beebots had a light so we explored them in the dark too.

 

We used the SMARTboard to play lots of different games to. Everyone really enjoyed the shape game. We had to feed the correct shape to the correct shape monster. They were successful learners and able to use their finger to drag the shape to the mouth of the shape monster. We also played literacy games finding the beginning letter of CVC words.

We also had lots of fun with a noise activated spider. We had to make a noise to get the spider to move the louder the noise the faster it moved around the floor. We were confident individuals working on using our voice to make loud noises.

Sungazers FAOL – Science in Class – Slime

The Sungazers Class love science and have all participated in various science activities over the term, making lava lamps, volcanoes, sensory snow, and slime. Their favourite experiment is making the cornflour slime as not only is it a good sensory science activity, it’s also good messy fun!

The boys are now able to follow the steps and make their own slime with minimal assistance.

Sungazers FAOL – Sciences – Weather – Tornado in a Jar

The Sungazers Class have enjoyed exploring different weather types through various science experiments.  This week we watched a video all about torandos then had a go at making our own ‘tornados in a jar’ using vinegar, water, food colouring and liquid soap.  We even added some sequences to see them get sucked up into our torando.  It was great fun!

Dinosaur Activities

Confident Individuals       Effective Contributors       *Successful Learners

Presently we are unable to access our photographs to blog but we have been very busy in the Stars class.

We planted sunflower seeds in pots for the school meadow. They are growing well and will soon need canes to support them. We also planted sweet pea plants in our garden planter. We’ve built another wigwam for them to climb up.

We continue to enjoy our dinosaurs theme making salt dough fossils and a sediment sand jar to show how fossils were made. We created a mod roc head for our giant dinosaur in class and made dinosaur footprints to compare sizes with our own.

Confident Individuals – Reflecting on Work

As the Transition boys near completion of their SQA work there is an opportunity to reflect on the unit. The boys were Confident Individuals when they thought about their Eco unit. The boys selected ‘like’ or dislike’ for each activity then the gave reasons for liking or not liking two aspects. The boys were very focused and could give excellent responses to the questions.

Confident Individuals – Listening skills

The Transition boys were Confident Individuals this week when they had an opportunity to work on their listening skills. The boys played a series of computer games where they had to wait for the bell before pressing the switch. However, if they waited too long after the bell then they missed their opportunity to score points. Two favourite games were scoring goals and playing through different adventure levels to find the treasure.
