As part of our learning about Chinese New Year, the children thoroughly enjoyed watching a performance by Primary 6d pupils. The performance included a dragon dance, drama, musical input, singing and children speaking in Mandarin.

The children worked hard to order the numbers on the fish. They started by ordering numbers 0-5 and progressed to numbers 0-10. Some children then asked to be challenged further and not only sequenced the numbers 0-20, they were able to identify which numbers Miss Rutherford had hidden!

When playing shape dominoes, the children enjoyed demonstarting their ability to identify and match a range of 2D shapes and colours.

During Together Time, the children worked in pairs to identify the number of spots each ladybird needed. They then assessed other children’s work to ensure they had counted out the correct amount of spots.

The children thoroughly enjoyed printing number lines using sponges and paint.

As part of our learning about Scotland and Robert Burns, the children created interest tables and enjoyed exploring the range of items displayed. Over the course of the week, the children participated in a variety of activities. Some of these included:

• Listening and responding to Scottish songs and music.
• Learning about Robert Burns and what happens during a Burns Supper.
• Baking and food tasting.
• Creating tartan artwork.
• Learning about Scots dialect.
• Reading children’s stories written in Scots, e.g. The Gruffalo in Scots.
