everyBODY can fly………

Class Arran had to wait for their turn to bust some moves on
the aerial ropes.

Once they had a safety talk and demonstration from Rachel, they were all ready to go! Christopher was tracking Rachel during the demonstration, desperate for his turn.

Rob and Peter were the first to get harnessed up whilst the others watched.

Roll on tomorrow when they can have another turn and learn to make some spontaneous movements and have opportunities to communicate to their partner during start and stop activities.

Flying high………

Class Cumbrae were the first to experience the Aerial experience this morning with the “EveryBODY Dancin” company and Water Baby and Dancing Feet dance companies.

After the initial introduction of the staff and demonstration, it was all systems go….. Millie was so excited she was shouting out “Let’s get started”

It was lovely to see the pupils communicate for more, and using their feet to make movements. Alexander was pushing his hand against Rachel (@everyBODYdancin) to make his cocoon move.

I’m sure as the week progresses we will see the pupils much
more relaxed and making attempts to manoeuvre themselves
and create some moves with collaboration with their partners.

Tiger who came to Tea

Class Arran invited their parents  and  Grandparents into school for their “Tiger who came to Tea” performance.
They had listened to the story, created a 3d scene during art work  and decided on some sound effects.

All the pupils had a part to play in the story and
enthusiastically performed in front of an audience.

Sean played the part of the tiger with our volunteer Phil and smiled all the way through at his antics.

They used their switches to activate the sound effects.
Rob especially loved the door bell effect.
Peter worked hard on some picture and word matching activities.

The pupils from ISS @ IMS supported the class and helped
to prepare a tea party afterwards. They made some biscuits
and helped to serve the teas and coffee.
