The Snowdrops had great fun on Friday for Children in Need. We made Pudsey spotty biscuits, Pudsey hats and enjoyed finger painting a bandana.
Some of the Transition class had their cookery time this week. They were Successful Learners when they chose a healthy way to prepare potatoes. They chose to make low fat potato salad. Skills on show were using the microwave, chopping spring onions and mixing ingredients together. As usual Mr Nicoll didn’t even get a tiny wee bit to taste. Good skills everyone.
The Bluebells were confident individuals and successful learners while taking part in class activities to learn about Children in Need. We enjoyed the story Pudsey’s Great Fundraiser and engaged well with the sensory props. We got crafty making our own headband to transform us into Pudsey. We enjoyed watching the Children in Need duck race and raced our own ducks down ramps.Â

This week we were looking at the letter E again in literacy, looking at words that beginning with this letter and in art we were successful learners and made a picture of a egg using tissue paper squares and PVA glue.
In SQA Communication we finished our Brown Bear Story, we sorted through the characters again, signed the animals and colours, danced along to the rap, and worked on our colouring books.
Karen was here on Wednesday to do some Indian Dance with us focusing on Animals that started with the letter E – we were very confident individuals and had great fun.
For SQA Numeracy we played a game of ‘Haggis Drive’, as we have started our Scottish Theme, working on our counting skills and drawing in the pieces of the Haggis.
Each class has a paper lantern to decorate to be displayed in the Atrium for Christmas, with our Vice ECO Captain we decided on a very topical theme of Global Warming!!!
Give the Snowman back his hat back!!!
So our Snowman is starting to melt – remember reuse, recycle and reduce!!!
Working on another Christmas Project.
For Children in Need we enjoyed a lovely social snack, had a wee Disco (not as long as Sophie Eliis-Bextor’s!!) And made some dotty Pugsy Faces.
Have a Smashing Weekend Everyone!!!
The Transition class were Successful Learners when they worked with pictograms. They made a pictogram to show different eye colours in the class and the number of people with each colour. They then spent some time understanding a made pictogram about screen time. Some pupil matched numbers from the key, some totaled each bar and others answered short questions to provide conclusions.
This week we explored poppies and made lots of different poppy pictures with different collage materials.
We also had fun in the garden on a Remembrance hunt looking for different pictures that were hidden. We marked them off to see if we had found them all.

In our SQA Signs in the Community lesson this week we took part in some role playing. We were successful learners when we discussed the safe areas we could identify on the road map to cross. We then acted out what we do when a car was coming, we had fun playing with speedy pull back cars too.

The Sungazers have been busy this week learning about Remembrance Day. We visited the monument on our local walk and could see some poppies through the glass doors of the Kilmarnock War Memorial. We then made our own Poppy Wreathes and lay them outside the classroom today.

The Stars Class made ‘spinning’ poppies which we used to embellish a Remembrance poster for the classroom door. We made tasty iced poppy biscuits, split pin poppies as well as stopping for a 1 minute silence. We talked about why people buy and wear poppies.
*Responsible Citizens  *Successful Learners
We chose photographs to make a poster depicting good health and well being and ways of keeping safe. We watched a road safety power point, discussed how to safely cross the road and understood the need for road safety.
