FAOL – Enterprise MacMillan Coffee Morning

Today was MacMillan snack morning at school.  We came dressed in purple and green and decorated cupcakes. We mixed green food colouring into the frosting and added it to the top of our cakes. We also used a rolling pin to roll out the green fondant icing and put it on top of a biscuit.

This week we also created pig masks and today we visited the atrium to stand on the muddy puddle with a Percy pig cut out.  We also decorated a giant cupcake to display on our door for everyone to see. We enjoyed sharing a snack together with our friends.

Daisies Class Morning Group!

* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *

The Daisies class are very aware of our morning group routine. They enjoy taking turns and welcoming all of their friends to class with our “Good Morning” song and some greetings – high five, handshake, fist bump or a hug.

We choose how we are feeling in many different ways – using sensory bottles, using lego face visuals on the SMARTboard, using our Go Talk communication devices or by use of PECS.

We listen to days of the week songs and months of the year songs and practise writing the initial letter each day.

Finally, we enjoy a sensory weather song and choose what the weather is like each day on the SMARTboard.

Carrot Exploration!

* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *

The Daisies class enjoyed exploring carrots. We used a knife to chop some carrot tops and put them in shallow dishes with wet cotton balls. We are hoping to grow some green carrot stalks!

We also used carrots as a writing tool and practised our overwriting.

FAOL – SCIENCE

*Successful Learners* *Confident Individuals*

This week we have been learning more about where our food comes from. We looked closely at where Milk comes from and created our own experiment to experience ‘Milking a Cow’.

After ‘Milking the Cow’, we followed a simple recipe to make Ice-cream in a Bag. We explored the ice and talked about hot & cold. We mixed the ice in a big bag with salt & then placed a smaller bag of milk inside it and shook it around to watch the milk turn into ice-cream. We found it was much harder for the chocolate milk to turn to ice-cream!

And for the best part…

Circle Of Trust

In the Oak class we have been completing Rights Respecting School work.  Article 23, I have a disability and I have a right to care and education.

The class created a paper person to represent themselves and added their termly educational target.

We also discussed our circle of trust, the people who are in our circle of trust and who is there to support us, care for us and protect us.

People who will always help us and never let us fall.  The class were confident individuals taking part in a trust exercise, demonstrating how much trust they have in Mrs Murray, not to let them fall.  No one fell!

Personal Hygiene

A school and class of effective contributors on our request for empty juice bottles.

After the recycling and painting of many plastic bottles, we have each completed a mouth with a full set of perfectly white teeth.  We are working on our personal hygiene and we will work on our teeth brushing technique.  So we all have lovely teeth and show off our best smile!

FAOL: Eco and Sustainable Development – Zero Hunger

Successful Learners   Effective Contributors

The Moonbeams have been learning that not all children are lucky enough to have food and water at every meal time. The children expressed their emotions as plates were handed out to them. Some plates had plenty of food, some had very little food and others had none. The children identified their emotions on the board to show how they felt about their plates.

FAOL Enterprise – Jam Roly Poly

Successful Learners    Effective Contributors

The Snowdrops have been exploring the different fruits that the hungry caterpillar enjoyed eating.  We decided to use strawberries to make our own jam roly poly.  Everyone showed lots of interest, touching, feeling and smelling strawberries and bread.  Pupils participated actively in mashing and squashing the strawberries, using different utensils.  We then used a rolling pin to flatten a slice of bread and practiced our spreading skills to cover the bread with our freshly mashed jam.  We carefully used our finger tips to gently roll our bread into a roly poly shape.  It tasted yummy!

FAOL: Science – Marshmallow Slime

Successful Learners      Effective Contributors

The Moonbeams had great fun investigating the changes of ingredients during this science activity. The children observed the difference in texture when the marshmallows were melted and then felt the changes with their hands as the cornflour and oil were added. They had great fun playing with the slime and they all thought it smelled lovely!
