Chinese New Year

We enjoyed sensory assembly this week, thank you Snowdrops and Stars class.  We were experiencing Chinese New Year.

We have had a fantastic week with lots of magical moments that has made us very proud. It was far too difficult to pick one star of the week, so I gave it to the full Oak class. They were all confident individuals and successful learners when working towards their own targets.

Here are the reasons for achieving star of the week

Jack – Taking part in a two way conversation with an adult and giving a lot information without prompting questions

Cameron – For singing and signing full songs and having the confidence to complete the song

Blake – Independence and being caring towards his peers

Ethan – Increased concentration during swimming and improvement in swimming technique

Sam – Improvement in communication and using full sentences when asking an adult a question

Anthony – Using spontaneous phrases when having a conversation with adults

50 Things – Bubbles

The Stars class enjoyed time in the sensory garden blowing bubbles. At times it was so windy the bubbles blew themselves! It was a good thing we were all wrapped up warmly. In the better weather we will return to the garden to blow bubbles using large rings and rope.

50 Things and Class Theme

The Sungazers have been enjoying their theme story called ‘No Such Thing As Nessie!’  They are good at picking out some of the characters and key words in the story.  We have also been having great fun with bubbles as part of our 50 Things Challenge.

Learning Games

The Transition boys had a great time this week when they shared games. They were Confident Individuals and worked very well together. Some great numeracy skills were on display using dice, counters, spinners and timers. Some boys used the time to practice literacy skills. A great effort by all.

FAOL – Sciences – Ice Ornaments

The Stars class collected leaves and new buds from the garden, placed in a paint tray then covered them with water. Had the weather been cold we would have put the tray outside to freeze however as the weather has been mild we froze them in the school freezer instead. This produced fantastic ice ornaments which unfortunately soon melted.

Independence in Home Economics

We have been trying to make different Scottish foods throughout our theme, and today we enjoyed making and trying Scotch pancakes.

 

We measured out the ingredients and mixed everything together before being very confident individuals and trying what we had made.

We have been trying to increase our independence through using the iPad to follow visual recipes, and to check what ingredients to add next.

FAOL Science

The Sungazers have been learning about vibrations and sound waves as part of their science sessions. Mr Dreghorn kindly brought in some fantastic musical instruments for us to explore.

The first was a Theremin which we played using our hands to vary the sound waves. Ryan was a natural and everyone enjoyed using this the best.  We also used an Ottomatone, a Stylophone, a Flexitone and a Tambura…. lots of new sounds for us to explore. We all enjoyed making lots of noise!!!

Well done all!

Robert Burns

We had a fantastic afternoon celebrating Robert Burns, we enjoyed our Burns Supper and then had a great time dancing the afternoon away at our Ceilidh.

We were very proud of Jack and Blake, they said and signed the Selkirk Grace and were confident individuals.

We were successful learners when we performed our Oak dance, the Gay Gordons.

We also sang and signed the ‘Flower of Scotland’ to everyone at the Ceilidh.

Happy Burns Day everyone!

50 Things – Boat Trip and Burns Activities

The Stars class had fun creating paper boats and checking whether they would float or not. Thankfully they did! We will take our boating pond outside in the better weather. We enjoyed Burns activities this week making oatcakes and a Robert Burns silhouette picture. The Scottish songs were good too.
