Lego/Duplo Challenge

           

Try to build the world’s biggest tower. How tall is it? Is it as high as your couch? Is it as high as your door? Knock it down if it hasn’t already fallen over. Have fun!

If you don’t have any lego or duplo you could use building blocks or cardboard boxes.

Today is Robert Burn’s birthday. He is a famous Scottish poet. Maybe you would like to listen to ‘The Sair Finger’ by Walter Wingate, in Makaton, then some Scottish bagpipe music.

FAOL Enterprise- Creating Christmas Gifts

We had lots of fun creating Christmas gifts for our families throughout December.

We were effective contributors and sourced the supplies needed for each of our gifts. We then carefully shared out the supplies to ensure that all our peers could create a gift using the resources we had gathered.

Stars Home Learning Challenge W/C 18.01.2021

We hope all is well with you and your families. Find below some new learning challenges for you to do should you wish to. Adjust them as needed but above all, have fun!

Heid, Shooders, Knaps and Taes       

Sing the song, Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes but using Scottish words. See how fast you can sing it!

Heid, shooders, knaps and taes

Knaps and taes

Heid, shooders, knaps and taes

Scottish Counting. How many?

       

   

            

           

   

                

Hide small plastic toys in a tray of lentils or oatmeal. Count how many toys you can find. Match your number word with the written number.

Scottish Food

       

Help someone at home prepare some Scottish foods to eat. It might be porridge, shortbread, pancakes, haggis, a scotch pie, oatcakes and cheese or heating up a tin of lentil soup! Enjoy a taste and try. The smells are good too.! Before you eat your Scottish fare you could maybe recite the Selkirk Grace. This is the prayer normally said before you eat your meal at a Burn’s Supper which is a celebration of the poet Robert Burn’s life and work.

Some hae meat and canna eat,

And some wad eat that want it;

But we hae meat, and we can eat,

And sae let the Lord be thankit.

Tartan Car Track Painting

 

Design a new tartan for Burns night. Use toy cars dipped in paint to roll on the coloured lines.

On You Tube, choose and listen to some Scottish music. What is your favourite? Find a few ideas linked below.

Stars Home Learning Challenge W/C 11.01.2021

Happy New Year! I hope all is well with you and your families. The ladies and I are fine but are missing you all very much. We can’t wait until we can all be together again.

Find below some home learning challenges for you to do should you wish to. I will post new ones every Monday. Adjust them to suit yourselves but the main thing is to have fun!

The Glasgow Gruffalo

Listen to our theme book, The Glasgow Gruffalo by Elaine C. Smith. Can you sign the characters, mouse, fox, owl, snake and gruffalo?

Owl on Toast

Decorate toast with chocolate spread or jam and a selection of fruit to make your very own version of owl on toast. I bet it tastes yummy.

Finding Colours

How many green things can you find in your kitchen in 30 seconds? Next time, how many red things can you find.

Counting How many underwater creatures can you find? Match your answer with the written number. Good luck!

Sensory Sparkles

Collect shiny things like a mirror, tin foil and metal pot scourer. Darken your room and shine a torch on the shiny items. Can you see sparkles and reflections?

Winter Ice Ornaments

Collect lots of natural things from your garden or the park. e.g. leaves, cones, berries, holly leaves. Count how many items you collected.

Place these in to a cupcake tray and fill each space up with water. Remember to dip a loop of string or ribbon in to each pot.

Either leave outside to freeze, if cold enough, or put in to your freezer. How many ornaments did you make?

When frozen, hang them in your garden to decorate. Watch them. Do they melt when the sun comes out? Do they sparkle in the sunshine? Choose your favourite ornament. Why is it your favourite?

Have some fun playing the attached games. You have to be pretty fast though!

FAOL – SCIENCES

**Successful Learners    ** Effective Contributors

We collected natural items from the garden to make winter ice ornaments. We filled plastic trays with these items then filled with water. Left outside, overnight, they froze to form natural decorations which we hung in the garden. They glinted in the sunshine. If it stays cold we hope to still see them after the weekend however if it gets warmer will they melt? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Confident Individuals   Effective Contributors

We created loads of Christmas craft to send home, one of which was this paper plate Christmas tree decoration. I’m sure they looked great at home.

 

We all worked hard rehearsing for our part in the school virtual Christmas Show. We sang and signed to 5 Brown Reindeer. We hope you all enjoyed the show.

Christmas Party

We were confident individuals and effective contributors at our Christmas Party.  We played corners, pass the parcel, the Hokey Cokey, Statues and had lots of dancing. We had a lovely party snack time where we enjoyed the melting snowman biscuits we’d made. A great time was had by all, especially as we saw Santa too!

Effective Contributors – Kick Rounders

The Transition boys were outside practising their skills with the football. The boys took turns at kicking the ball and gave support to others with clapping when someone hit the target. This made the boys Effective Contributors. They applied their kicking skills to the game to try and send the ball away from the fielders to try and get a home run.
