Focused Area of Learning – Big Pedal 2019 – Fitbit Step Challenge

* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS *

The Moonbeams class loved this week’s Big Pedal celebrations. We have had turns wearing the class fitbit watch each week and have tried exceptionally hard to up our steps each day. We have managed to increase them every day which we are really proud of.

We also visited Dumfries House on our social outing and scooted from the car park to the big house. We had a scooter race with Tyler being the overall winner!

To finish the week, we also enjoyed a big pedal themed assault course in the PE hall. We took turns wearing the fitbit to complete the course and also timed to see the overall winner! Matthew was our assault course winner!

The Moonbeams class enjoyed celebrating Word Down Syndrome day by wearing our odd socks! We also went on an odd sock hunt around the school. We managed to find 28 socks and had to put them into pairs.

We also looked at a visual story about a girl Daisy who had down syndrome. We found out about Daisy having an extra chromosome and made a paper chain showing this, which we all enjoyed.

WBD – Author visit

We had a special visitor come into school today. Greta Yorke and her friend Moira came to Willowbank today to read Greta’s book “The Tartan Witch”. The whole school got to listen to Greta and Moira tell the story about the tartan witch. Greta had also organised some lovely activities related to the book for the children to do after listening to the story. The activities were : exploration of the characters from the book, creating our own tartan using special wooden blocks with different lines on them, a matching game and a potion station. Everyone really enjoyed listening to the story and were effective contributors when engaging with the activities.

Reading Stars!

* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *

The Moonbeams have tried really hard to include more reading time in our timetable this week. We have visited the school library, loved choosing stories to take home from the book swap and we have included 10minute reading sessions at the end of each day. We have read ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Catastrophe’, ‘Wonky Donkey’ and ‘The Mega Magic Hair Swap’.
