World Book Day 2024 📚

Happy World Book Day everyone!

The boys and girls have loved showing off the costumes of their favourite book character.

I’m very jealous of all the children wearing their super cosy jammies! They look so comfy!

We have all enjoyed lots of stories throughout the day and have taken part in lots of role play, making up our own stories as well. We even had Paddington selling ice cream in the garden!

We also enjoyed a story altogether for group time called Ruby’s Worry.

What’s your favourite story?

Article 29- your education should help you use and develop your talents and abilities.

Local Landmarks

Today in the discovery room we looked at some different landmarks in and around Glasgow. We used the tablet, lap top and promethean board to search and look at popular landmarks we may have visited.

We demonstrated good listening when we sat together and discussed what we knew about the places we looked at. We were able to share stories of places we had visited with our families. Two of the most recognisable were the Clyde Arc which a few children recognised as the Squinty Bridge and one child shared with the group his own name for it – ‘The Scotland Bridge’. The other one being Kelvingrove Art Museum -“that is where you see a big dinosaur, but it only has bones”.

We took our findings and landmarks to our block area where we showed great team work when we re-created Kelvin Grove Art Museum using a variety of blocks of different shapes and sizes.

The children were extremely creative with their design and creation of the Cart Mill Kelvingrove! Perhaps they can display some of their own works of art in it!

Remember remember the 5th of November

Today we have been talking about fireworks night . The children told us what they already knew about fireworks.

“Fireworks are loud.”

“They make a Big Bang.”

“ I saw green and pink ones last night.”

“My dad bought Sparklers.”

Some of the children didn’t know what sparklers were so we used the computer to search for pictures.

We then searched for and found a firework safety video on YouTube where Fireman Sam shared some tips on how to stay safe on firework night.

 

We discussed what we had learned about being safe.

“Stay with mum.”

“We need to stay far away.”

“Fireworks could burn us.”

”We can wear torches so the cars can see us.”

We spoke about different ways of being seen in the dark. Wearing Hi   Visibility clothing can help.  ”Just like a policeman.”

Hope you all have a happy and safe fireworks night!
