Happy New Year Sungazers! – A Busy First Day Back

The Sungazers have had a busy first day back after the Christmas break.  We enjoyed our session with Centrestage – using the parachute, singing songs and dancing catching the bubbles.

 

                                                                                          

We have also been busy doing lots of number work and made a number line based on the Chinese New Year ‘Great Race’ story.   We then used our number lines to find out what order the animals finished the race in.   We also made Chinese Dragons using a variety of different shapes during maths time.

Christmas Science

The Transition boys were Successful Learners this week when they used their numeracy skills to complete some Christmas science tasks. The boys looked at snow formation and made some fake snow. They carefully measured the correct mass of ‘snow’ powder then the correct volume of water. Everyone was amazed when the snow fluffed up before their eyes.

In their second task the boys were challenged to create the tallest Christmas Tree using play-doh. The boys had to balance height and width to make sure that it would stand before it was measured. The tallest one (without banned structural support) was 27cm

Numeracy and Origami

The Transition boys were Successful Learners when they used their numeracy skills to complete two tasks. They made origami Christmas craft following numbered sections and creating ‘up’ or ‘down’ folds. They then made different 3D shaped snowmen again following a numbered pattern and had to match their shapes to a different set on the interactive board. Well done boys!

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.

FAOL – Eco

The Stars class explored Article 23 – ‘If I have a disability, I have the right to special care and education. We compared a special school in Dubai with Willowbank and found them very similar. Their weather was far better though!
