Fair Trade, LGBT, and a new IDL in the Pine Room.

In the Pine Class we were successful learners in Science, making sensory bottles representing the different  types of weather.  Selecting different things and using our fine motor skills to put them in the bottles – then making lots of noise.

A confident individual in MOVE working on his sitting skills.

In Numeracy we have been working on addition, using building blocks, coloured bean bags and counting blocks.

For SQA Communication this week we played ‘Inside Out’ BINGO and talked about the different characters and our feeling.

Our new IDL Theme is step back in time and our book is ‘The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr Benn’ this week we read the story about the Red Knight and then made some crowns.

We had a game of Fair Trade BINGO and looked at the different types of Fair Trade products that we could buy.

For LGBT week we have been reading different stories and making some colourful artwork, in preparation for Purple Day.

Have a lovely weekend.
