Welcome to a new School Year Pine Class

Well – Welcome Pinettes!!

It is lovely to see you all back at school.  Everyone has settled in really well and working very hard.

We have all been actively participating in all the Moring Group Activities, using the different AAC Devices, making choices, studying the weather and seasons, learning the days of the week, and practising our Makaton.

Enjoying the different stories we have been reading during Literacy, there are links below to a few favourites .

Oi Frog!

The Squirrels Who Squabbled

We have been successful learners in  Numeracy, we have practised our numbers skills in a variety of different ways, listening to counting songs, playing BINGO, pinning clothes peg legs on spiders (not real ones!) and counting bricks, building towers…then knocking them down!!!  We also enjoy watching Counting with Rodd.

Counting with Rodd

In Enterprise and Expressive Art we have taken impressions of our hands for our ‘Evidence Tree’, and made some cool Splash Art Monsters!!!

During our Health and Well-Being sessions, we have worked hard on our MOVE programme, enjoyed sensory play and relaxation, and had fun being outside bowling when the sun was shining.

We choose Golden Rule Number 2 – A chance to be involved, and we are planning the MacMillian Coffee Morning Event for the School.

This is only some of what we have been up to …so we have been pretty busy!!!

So have I great weekend everyone.

Take care

Diggable Technology in the Pine Room.

This week we are highlighting Diggable Technology in School , this also ties in with Article 17 of the UNCRC which states all children and young people should be able to access information, particularly from the media.  Just now we are using technology every Wednesday to access school information via Teams for Assemblies, and we also get to see our friends in other classes on the big screen – Well done Mr Campbell, we think you should get a Diggable Technology Certificate next week!!!

In the Pine Room our favourite pieces of Technology are our AAC Devices, we use it to communicate in different ways, telling the Pine Ladies how we are feeling or making choices.

During Morning Group we are effective contributors and communicate our news to each other using our Big Macks.

Now at home how do you use your technology – do you listen to music on a phone, watch movies on an iPad, skype family members on your computer? Bring in some photos please from our information wall.

We have been successful learners in Science and taken our knowledge outdoors and planted our lettuce, spinach and some onions – in amongst our flowers!!!

In Social Studies we were working on SDG 17, sustainability and being part of a team.

Finishing out IDL Art ready for our wall display.

Practicing for Sports day.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
