Activities this week
We made a variation of Pigs using paper and milk cartons. This year it is the year of the PIG for Chinese New Year.
We have been confident individuals when carrying out our jobs within the class. Jack was excellent at using full sentences when asking is his friends what they would like for their lunch.
Patrick came to pay us a visit at snack time, I think he could smell the toast. Anthony cleaned the table after snack, whilst Jack washed the dishes and Blake dried them. Very effective contributors working together to tidy up after snack times.
We created our own clocks to help us understand how to tell the time, using analogue and digital formats.
The Oak boy band are still working hard and being successful leaners when learning new songs to play on the keyboard and their other chosen instruments.

Oak Outing
This week in class we did some café role play during our maths work. We shared the menu with a friend and chose something to eat and drink. We then had to look at the price and hand over the correct coins. We also worked on our communication skills and had a practice of using our words supported with signs to make our order.
It was a lovely sunny fresh morning to walk to the Coffee Trader and each boy was confident individuals and successful learners at placing their order and choosing the correct coins.
This week we have been working hard on signing our Scottish poem ‘Cuddle Doon’. They were all very successful and listening and following the signs.
