During a theme lesson the children made bird feeders using pipe cleaners and cereal. The children worked hard to hook the cereal on to the pipe cleaners and then molded them to create different shapes. During our outing to Kay Park this week, the children hung the bird feeders on a tree and next week we will go back to see how much the birds have eaten.

The Daisies class enjoyed using their knowledge of 2D shapes to help them when adding doors, windows and chimneys to houses.
We also used flat shapes to try and build some houses.
Finally, we used lego bricks and tried to build houses to give shelter to our toys. We loved doing this and worked very well in pairs to do this!

The Moonbeams worked together to create a wildlife scene for the animals they have been learning about. They researched some ideas online and chose from a selection of resources to help create their vision. All pupils worked well with an adult to create these lovely scenes.

The Daisies class enjoyed listening to our theme story “Thistle Street”. We enjoyed meeting all of the characters and seeing the homes and shops found on Thistle Street.
We explored Google Maps and tried to find our houses on our streets. We loved exploring our familiar areas and took turns travelling around our towns. Some of us showed our friends our local sweet shops, takeaway shops or where their family members live.
Throughout our theme, we were successful learners and explored the history of chocolate.
We found out that hot chocolate used to taste very different, so made our own Mayan inspired hot chocolate by following a visual recipe.
Some of us were confident individuals and even tasted it, but decided that we liked real chocolate much better!
We have been successful learners working on our SQA Numeracy Unit, counting whole numbers while enjoying a game of BINGO!!!
