Over the past two days we have enjoyed being effective contributors when actively participating in our Oak Class Ceilidh to celebrate St Andrew’s Day.

St Andrew’s Day
*Confident Individuals* *Effective Contributors* *Successful Learners*
The Snowdrops have enjoyed learning about the story of St Andrew and creating lots of lovely Scottish crafts. We made Scottish flags by tearing, scrunching and sticking white and blue tissue paper onto our templates.
We also had great fun dipping toy cars into different coloured paints and rolling them in different directions to create our own tartan pictures!
As it was St Andrew’s Day on Monday, the Transition class studied a Scottish poem called ‘Mince and Tatties’ by J.K. Annand. The boys were all Successful Learners. Activities included, sequencing the poem, matching the key elements of the poem and writing and understanding the poem. Just like the poem, we all thought that mince and tatties were Smashin!

St Andrew’s Day
To celebrate St Andrew’s Day, in the Oak class we have made some thistles and weaved some tartan. We were successful learners and worked on our fine motor skills. We all actively participated in all the activities, we were creative and used different shapes to create our own thistle.
We prepared the Christmas decorations for the school and also made some Grinch tree baubles to match the Christmas cards we made. The Oak class will not let the COVID Grinch steal Christmas this year.

St Andrew’s Day
We have celebrated St Andrew’s day this week at a whole school assembly. We explored directional awareness through Scottish dancing at numeracy time. We started off with a slow dance then built up to the fastest song to finish. There was lots of laughter and successful learners with saying the directions we were moving in.
. 
In between directional awareness we worked 1:1 on our coin recognition and reading a price tag and handing over the correct amount of money. Jack worked very well during this task.
Keeping with our St Andrew’s Day theme we made shortbread in cooking and then decorated them in class with a Scotland flag on them.

St Andrew’s Sensory Assembly
On Wednesday morning the Transition boys took part in a Sensory St. Andrew’s Assembly. They were all Responsible Citizens as they took part in a variety of activities including, hand painting thistles, identifying the famous Scot and modelling a thistle. I think we all agree that our favourite station was tasting Scottish food. I’d share some photographs of that but the food disappeared in the blink of an eye!
