Activities this Week

We have been working hard learning our Scottish dances for our Burns Supper. All boys have really enjoyed the dancing this week, everyone has been an effective contributor to make all the dances a success.

We also made the table decorations for the Burns supper, paper roses and thistles.

Jack and Blake have been learning the words and signs for the Selkirk Grace, they have been confident individuals performing in front of their class peers

The boys had fun at the sensory Burns assembly thank you Bluebells and Sungazers.

We were looking at our Rights Respecting Article 15 – I have the right to choose my friend and be included. The boys choosing their closest friend in the class.  Sean was Mr popular the majority of the boys chose him as their friend.

This is my favourite photo of the term!

FAOL Sciences – Percussion Instruments

The Snowdrops have been exploring the different ways we can make sounds using percussion instruments.  We decided to make our own percussion instruments using recycled milk cartons and Scottish foods.  We bought some Scottish oats, lentils, peas and macaroni on our outing to Tesco.  Everyone made effective contributions – choosing and filling our own containers.  After sealing our bottles, the Snowdrops found we could make lots of noise by shaking them.  Lots of successful learning and great fun to shake when we sing ‘Ye canny shuv your granny off a bus’!

Fun With Food – Enterprise Group

The boys are all doing fantastic in their Fun with Food group, everyone is a happy and willing to try the food each week even if they know it is a food they do not like.  Their confidence and curiosity has grown and I am very pleased with them all.

This lesson involved making porridge and then making chocolate porridge.  They were all confident individuals and Anthony added a bit too much when it came to the coco powder then decided to give it a taste! Which is what the session is all about building confidence to want to taste new foods and find out what it is like!

They are effective contributors when playing their instrument along to one of our tunes.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh Inspired!

* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS *

The Moonbeams class looked closely at the life and work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We explored some of the buildings he designed in Glasgow and also attempted a step by step drawing of his famous rose.

We finished the lesson by colouring in a black and white template of his most famous piece of work. This took us a long time and we were all very focussed on the colours we were using and the shapes involved.

Joint Independent Travel

Some members of the Beech and Transition class enjoyed a trip into town on our local public bus.  We used our bus pass or selected the correct change to pay for our ticket and used excellent communication skills with good manners when speaking to the driver.  We decided to heat ourselves up with a hot drink in WG13. All pupils were very responsible citizens.
