As Armistice Day approaches we will be reflecting on the UNCRC  article 38.  Governments should not recruit children into the armed forces.  Governments should make sure that children are given extra protection when there is a war or armed conflict.   Tayport Primary P7s will lay a wreath at Tayport’s War Memorial on behalf of our nursery and school.

The Larick Centre is hosting a travelling art gallery:  information here.  Here is a link to learn more about them:  Travelling Gallery – Scotland’s Art Gallery in a Bus

Monday

This morning we had a visit from the photographer. We had individual photographs and some family photographs.  A group of children used the outdoors blocks to “play builders” 👷 using the wheelbarrow to move the bricks 🧱  to build a house. “ Indoor role play was “ families” children demonstrated understanding of “washing their clothes, making and sharing food with their “family”

Tuesday

Today we demonstrated our creativity in the art area making crowns. Some of our children created their own designs, shared ideas and used a variety of media to decorate our crowns. Most of the children used a wide and varied range of vocabulary whilst describing our crowns. Outdoors today some of our children were experimenting with different sized balls to see which ones would go the through the basket ball net – developing our estimation skills, gross motor skills and hand/eye coordination.

Wednesday

This morning a group of children used their imagination to design and build Lego structures.  Lots of communication to explain the pieces they had chosen and reasoning for their selections. Some chose to use the “work in progress area to add more at another time.

We all walked to the shore and explored the local environment. We splashed  in the rock pools and used our 3 points of contact rule to keep safe as we climbed on the rocks.

Thursday

This morning most of the children chose to dress up for Halloween 🎃 Lots of discussions about the characters they chose and reasoning for their outfits. Some children chose to do Halloween themed craft activities. We carved some pumpkins 🎃 and listened to  Halloween story.

Friday

This morning we had our family Bookbug session in The View at school 📚 We had a spooky story  and lots of songs 🎵 and rhymes. 👻 🕷️🎃🕷️📚🧙‍♀️

A group of children used the block to “build a hospital “🏥 “it’s where the Doctors 🥼 work.” Good communication between the group to decide on which blocks use and share their knowledge of the word of work.  👩‍⚕️ 👩🏽‍⚕️👨🏾‍⚕️🧑‍⚕️

Have a lovely weekend and see you all on Monday 😊
