LGBT – Purple Friday

Today is Purple Friday. We are having whole school activities. This morning all the primary classes came together in the hall to share their learning and activities completed about their LGBT  book.  All classes also shared their song/jingle about family. Some classes shared a video and some classes performed it live. The Sunflowers had made rainbow pizzas and shared this. The Daisies shared  similarities and differences from their book Giraffe’s Can’t Dance. The Snowdrops performed their family jingle live with makaton signing. The Bluebells performed their song live. The Sungazers class has symbols to show the audience so we could participate too. The Stars showed a video of their song as some of their friends were on their outing. The Moonbeams had a board to share their learning and have used technology to complete their rainbow flag.

 

The secondary this morning completed the purple activities in the atrium. Some of the activities included sensory colour find with water beads and purple rice. This was a favourite. The Oak and Transition prepared a purple string art activity which looked amazing. The Sunflowers and Daisies made some purple lacing picture for their friends to enjoy.

Purple Week in the Snowdrops

The Snowdrops have been responsible citizens looking at pictures of different families on the SMARTboard.  We have been practising Makaton signs of family words and trying hard to say new words or sounds.  Snowdrops were confident individuals moving around the school looking for the colourful LGBT flag and pointing to school LGBT work displayed on our boards.  We have been spotting all the colours on the flag and painting our own flags.  The Snowdrops have also enjoyed a story book called No Matter What, all about unconditional love.

Makaton literacy groups

This week in our Makaton group were successful learners learning the signs for the animals in the Chinese New Year calendar.  We were finding out what animal we were and confidently signing them too. We also did some colouring of the different animals.

Scottish Alphabet Story

The Snowdrops have all been successful learners taking part in many new experiences about the Scottish alphabet.  Now our Scottish theme is coming to an end and it’s time for us to think if we have liked or disliked our Scottish activities.  The Snowdrops were confident individuals using eye-pointing and picture prompts to show their likes, dislikes or preferred type of activities.

Here comes Mrs Macaroni

The Snowdrops have all been effective contributors during Scottish music sessions.  We have been using our Scottish recycled percussion instruments to shake along to songs or music.  A favourite song has been ‘Here comes Mrs Macaroni’ and all the Snowdrops took turns to ride on our rocking horse.  Great balance work everyone!

FAOL Sciences – Percussion Instruments

The Snowdrops have been exploring the different ways we can make sounds using percussion instruments.  We decided to make our own percussion instruments using recycled milk cartons and Scottish foods.  We bought some Scottish oats, lentils, peas and macaroni on our outing to Tesco.  Everyone made effective contributions – choosing and filling our own containers.  After sealing our bottles, the Snowdrops found we could make lots of noise by shaking them.  Lots of successful learning and great fun to shake when we sing ‘Ye canny shuv your granny off a bus’!

Scottish Snowdrops

The Snowdrops have all been successful learners, exploring the alphabet in a fun Scottish way.  We have been creating our own tartans and choosing ways to match colours together.  Everyone has also explored different colours and textures to decorate the initial capital of our names in a Scottish way.
