Valentine Activities and Ice Ornaments

*Effective Contributors    *Successful Learners

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 hung them in the garden where they sparkled in the sunshine before melting.

IDL – Number Fun with the Glasgow Gruffalo and Friends

Successful Learners   Effective Contributors   Confident Individuals

A group of Snowdrops headed out into the garden to see what they could find. A Gruffalo had passed through on his way to Glasgow and he had left some numbered footprints  on the ground…but some were missing. The Gruffalo had visited lots of places in the garden and the Snowdrops had fun collecting the numbered footprints and slotting them in order along the number line. Along the way they also found some of the other animals from the Gruffalo story and did a great job of counting out how many they had found.  Back in class, the Snowdrops continued practising their numeracy skills with the Glasgow Gruffalo and friends.
