The Stars class enjoyed many Macmillan day activities. We made Percy Pig cakes, took Percy photo’s, made pig masks, decorated a large cake and had sensory water and foam play. A happy, fun filled, day.

As part of our class Enterprise, we grew & made our own snacks to enjoy at our MacMillan Coffee Morning. We started off by planting and growing water cress to make Egg Cress sandwiches. We then made our own Soda-bread and butter – which took a lot of shaking! We made the sandwiches fresh this morning with all of our ingredients.
 
 
Some pupils enjoyed the taste of the lemon we used for Soda bread!
We then enjoyed our sandwiches, some treats and tea/coffee this morning!

The Comets have been effective contributors for our Macmillian Coffee Morning. Today we have been very busy participating in different types of fun activities.
The children have designed their own cupcakes, enjoyed colouring in and made some delicious cakes- some of us even got to pretend to be Percy Pig!

A school and class of effective contributors on our request for empty juice bottles.
After the recycling and painting of many plastic bottles, we have each completed a mouth with a full set of perfectly white teeth. We are working on our personal hygiene and we will work on our teeth brushing technique. So we all have lovely teeth and show off our best smile!

We tried to guess which items would float and which items would sink. We weren’t always right! Some items even floated for a wee while then sank! We had great fun. We’ve also enjoyed a treasure hunt, made ‘star’ sandwiches and made tree pictures as we explored seasons.

The Sungazers have settled into their new classroom & school routine very well. We read the story ‘Giraffe’s Can’t Dance’ and talked about all of things that we can do if we work hard! We also used Science to see if we could make raisins dance inside a bottle full of lemonade – this was fascinating!
We have enjoyed plenty of Art activities to brighten up our classroom and the Wee Den. The class have let Miss. McCreath know that they all really enjoy Science so we’ve already had plenty of science experiments and messy play!
We have a lot of photos to share next week. Have a great weekend!

We have had a happy week in the Stars class. We enjoyed time in the garden where we had a colour hunt and checked how our garden produce was growing. We also made scones which we ate for snack with jam and printed handprints and flowers for our ‘Friendship Garden’ wall display.
Hello, it is lovely to see the Snowdrops back in school after the summer break. Everyone is settling in well to our class routine and enjoying seeing their friends.
This term, we are running a colour theme for each day of the week. The pupils are enjoying exploring numeracy, literacy, expressive arts and other curricular area activities through colours. For example, Wednesday is our Yellow Day. We enjoy listening to the song ‘Here Comes the Sun’ (Singing Hands version) and our movement for this song is swaying. We also enjoy making yellow collages, exploring what colours mix togther to make yellow, explore various yellow sensory materials, over/under write words, enjoy colour stories and practise our counting and number recognition (just to name a few!)
Below is our colour timetable for the week. Please feel free to listen to the songs at home, joining in with the movement and talking about colours.
Monday is our Red Day. Clap/tap along to the song below (Singing Hands – Shine)
Tuesday is our Orange Day. Stamp/shake along to Singing Hands – Roar.
Wednesday is our Yellow Day. Sway along to Singing Hands – Here Comes The Sun

The Stars class have settled in well to their new classroom and routine and have enjoyed doing activities together after the summer break. We learnt ‘All About Me’ and told our likes and dislikes, made friendship potions, discussed kind and unkind behaviours, read Rainbow Fish and made personalised flowers for our ‘Friendship Garden’ wall display. In the sensory garden we weeded and tidied our planters where we discovered potatoes, onions, carrots, nasturtiums and sweet peas which were planted by Mrs Gardner’s class last year.

We made custard creams this week which we enjoyed eating at a picnic in the glorious sunshine. We also had good fun creating sunflower and seaside pictures. We made sure our seaside pictures had an ice cream van in it! The Stars class hope everyone enjoys a fantastic summer holiday.
