Yesterday we had a very busy day at school! A sensory assembly for St Andrew’s Day – tasting Scottish food, looking at Scottish pictures, listening to Scottish music and sounds, making thistle hand prints, and playing with porridge paly doh. Then we had cookery and made Lentil Soup… it was yummy!!! Followed by a visit from Santa’s reindeer – we said we were busy!!!
The Beech class enjoyed assembly this morning. We made thistles from our handprints, made shapes with porridge play dough, enjoyed some Scottish music and played themed games as well as tasted some typical Scottish foods. All pupils were confident individuals as they participated in each activity.
This morning we did some preparation for St Andrew’s Day. We made some beautiful St Andrew’s Cross Flags, also known as The Saltire, we hand printed some lovely thistles. Then we used The Saltire, thistle and St Andrew to help with our Maths work – looking at the biggest to the smallest and putting them in order or selecting the biggest or the smallest shape.
