We read the book, ‘I am Jazz’ and explored how we are all different but special. We compared our looks, interests and families. We created rainbow flags, had a colour hunt and danced to colour diversity, family and Pride songs. At science we did colour experiments. At HE we made tasty coloured traffic light sandwiches which we had for snack. On Purple Friday we created a purple octopus at art and enjoyed sensory handling. We had a very busy week of activities.

All about my feelings

We have been confident individuals learning about zones of regulation and that our emotions can change throughout the day depending on everything that is happening around me.

We have completed a lot of work on feelings and strategies to carry out to help regulate our emotions and make us feel happier.

We created an emotional rollercoaster that we change throughout the day when a situation arises that could cause our emotions to change.

We created lovely Valentine’s cards to take home and made tasty Jam Heart biscuits, They tasted really yummy! We also made Ice Ornaments for the garden. We collected buds, leaves and flowers then froze them in water, not forgetting to dip string into the water before freezing.

We played the Hokey Cokey my putting ‘oor richt airm in’ and sang Scottish children’s songs.

We played hopscotch in the garden and created a Robert Burns silhouette picture.

Successful Learners – Understanding Our Bodies

It was hot and cold this week in the Transition class during our Health and Wellbeing lesson. We looked at how our skin and muscles felt when hot and cold. We held an ice cube and identified different sensations that we could feel. We then turned a hairdryer on to feel the heat and identify those sensations. Words chosen by the class included hot, cold, jaggy and calm.

We then took advantage of the frosty day to go outside and bare our forearms to see how our skin and muscles felt. Everyone was very brave and even placed a frosted leaf on our forearms to feel even more cold! Well done everyone!
