Halloween

This week has been filled with lots of Halloween fun. On Monday we did lots of fun Halloween dances. On Tuesday we did Halloween Science activities. We placed orange and green sweets around the edges of a plate and used a water dropper to fill the middle with water. Some pupils were able to use the water dropper and then watch and the colour moved to the inside of the plate creating a pumpkin. All pupils enjoys watching the colour move. We also make pumpkin fizzers again some pupils were able to use the droppers and add vinegar to the experiment with gestural support.

On Wednesday we made mummies. All pupils were able to hold the string and be supported physically by staff to wrap the wool around the person shape to make the mummy.  Some pupils were able to participate actively wrapping their wool independently with only spoken support.

Highlights of our Week

We have a right to share our thoughts freely  UNICEF Article 13.  We enjoyed  listening to a story called, ‘What to do with an idea’.  The moral of the story was to share your ideas with everyone and say what you are thinking.  So we made a silhouette picture of our head and put jigsaw puzzles inside for our ideas.  In the Oak class we are regularly encouraged to share what we think.

We enjoy working on our reading skills every week, we are becoming confident individuals at reconsigning the familiar words that are repeated throughout the story.

Everyone in the Oak class loves pizza, we played a pizza topping game with friends to increase our memory skills.  Some of us could remember three toppings others could remember up to five toppings.

      

We were successful learners when following the music to play some of our favourite songs, this week we played ‘I Love my Life’ and ‘Three Little Birds’.  Everyone was actively engaged in the music lesson.

We enjoyed our outdoor PE lesson, we were working on our basketball skills.  We were confident individuals when trying to dribble and shoot as independently as possible.  Everyone focused their attention and listened to the advice given to make their performance better.
