POLO Week in the Stars Class

*Confident Individuals         *Effective Contributors

The Stars class were not blessed with good weather for our outdoor education slots during POLO week. We were met with very heavy rain indeed! We did manage to create colourful water pistol pictures then used the water pistols to try and knock down upturned cups. We collected greenery and flowers to make crowns and made sure our plants were well watered on dry days. Our planned story time underneath the garden canopy took place indoors but we enjoyed ‘Wee Granny’s Magic Bag’ none the less!

MOVE Day Activities in the Stars

*Confident Individuals        *Effective Contributors

We had a lovely day of activities in the Stars class. We had a timed colour hunt, played balloon tennis, threw balls into a basket (trickier than you think!) and did ‘Space Yoga’. Outside we played hopscotch and did chalk drawings. In the afternoon we moved round ‘space’ stations in the playground which were great fun.

Platinum Jubilee in the Stars Class

*Successful Learners        *Effective Contributors

We participated in lots of activities to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. We wore a crown and robe, did a scavenger hunt, read a funny story called ‘The Queen’s Knickers’ and made crown biscuits at HE. Wearing golden crowns we had a lovely picnic in the garden and played parachute games with the Moonbeams. The Corgi cupcakes were really good too at our jubilee lunch on Tuesday.

We practised hard for our sports and had a great time on the day. We ran a flat race, novelty race and then a relay race. Our novelty races were the egg and spoon race or the sack race. Everyone was cheering.

Digital Week in the Stars

*Successful Learners

We had a good week using many types of digital technology. We used the I Pad to take directed photographs in the garden and played many games and activities on the Promethean Board. We talked about many changes in technology, made tasty smoothies using a switch and watched a story using a QR code. We had fun using beebots with Miss Smith and making a telephone from paper cups and string (it really worked!) and compared it with today’s handsets and mobiles. Gaming safety was discussed and not to share information. We used technology to cross the road on our outing when we used the pelican crossing.

Earth Day Activities in Stars Class

*Responsible Citizens

We have done a few activities throughout the week to signify Earth Day. We discussed ways to save energy and recycling followed by a trip to the park where we did a nature scavenger hunt. We planted seeds and built a den in class. Inside the den we read a book by torchlight to show how difficult it would be to do things if we were short of electricity. We also made a microwave sponge which uses less energy to cook than in a conventional oven.

Stars Easter Activities

*Successful Learners                *Responsible Citizens                                        *Confident Individuals              *Effective Contributors

We did some lovely Easter themed activities this week. We created an Easter card, had a shapes treasure hunt and handled lots of different animals at the ‘Petting Zoo’. We had good fun following clues to find the Easter bunny and were rewarded by a chocolate egg from him. At science we did a ‘Humpty Dumpty’ experiment where we explored different ways to save an egg from breaking when dropped from a height. This was good fun. We joined other classes from the upper primary for an outdoor disco where we played games as well as danced. A good week has been had by all.

Science Week in the Stars

*Successful Learners

We have thoroughly enjoyed Science Week where we have been exploring our senses by doing a selection of experiments for taste, hearing, light, touch and smell. We learned that a blocked nose (or if you hold your nose) affects your sense of taste and we particularly enjoyed the sound game and ‘dancing’ rice which showed sound waves.

FAOL – Whole School Projects – Virtual Christmas Showcase

*Confident Individuals       *Effective Contributors

The Stars class practiced hard for our virtual Christmas Showcase. We performed to the song ‘Let it Snow’ by Michael Buble. We brought in hats and scarves and dressed up as snowmen. We created a snowflake backdrop and acted out and signed to the song. We used the parachute to float tissue paper snowballs into the air. Many people said they’d enjoyed our performance.

Christmas Party

The Stars class had a lovely Christmas party day. We saw Santa and his trusty elf who gave us all a present and toasted marshmallows. In the afternoon we played party games, pass the parcel, musical statues and corners. We did the hokey cokey, head, shoulders, knees and toes and did dancing to our favourite songs. We enjoyed a tasty party snack too.
