The Bluebells have been confident individuals this week as they have been using Digital technology as part of their learning. The children took photos on the ipad of each other as they were planting outside. They enjoyed using the smart board to copy exercises to songs. They watched and copied Makaton signs from YouTube and had a listen to some songs on earphones.
We had a fantastic summer trip to the Science Centre today. Lots of exhibits to explore and we visited a ‘Fun With Forces’ workshop where we worked with magnets and rockets. Our sociable lunch was pretty good too.
The Sungazers have been learning simple addition using a variety of timed active learning approaches. They also enjoyed some problem solving activities – Successful Learners
The Sungazers used a variety of technology to learn new skills and enjoyed photographing each other in the sensory garden – Confident Individuals.

The Transition boys were put to good use on Friday afternoon. The boys have been so busy with their SQA classes that they haven’t completed classroom chores for a while. The boys were Responsible Citizens and took the opportunity to give the room a good spring clean!
The Transition boys took lessons outdoors again when they revisited number bonds. This time they were looking at the number groups that make up twelve. The boys found twelve large sticks and spend time dividing them up into two groups of different values. The boys were all Confident Individuals when they wrote their totals on the whiteboards.
As part of digidabble week. The Transition boys were allowed to choose a literacy game on the touch screen. The boys chose ‘Hang Mouse’ a word guessing game. The boys did their hardest not to be caught by the cat! The boys were all Successful Learners when they chose letters to fill in the missing word.
During the lovely weather the Transition boys had a Nature Scavenger Hunt. They were all Effective Contributors as they hunted around for items and shared their answers in the group. The reward for such hard work was a quick shot on the swings before returning to school.
