What We’ve Been Up To In The Acorn Room…

Our morning groups have been developing their listening and talking skills.  We have been learning to use our words to communicate how we are feeling and to ask for support.  We have also had opportunities to play with our peers and share resources positively.  We are developing our literacy and numeracy skills in a small group before applying what we have learned in our main class.  Our core groups are growing in confidence and like to support one another which is so lovely to see!
Afternoon  Groups
 
​Monday Multi-Sports Group Multi-Sports
We have been learning about different sports including tennis, hockey, football and team games.  Children are encouraged to listen carefully and follow instructions.  We support children to have a growth mindset when facing a challenge and to give every activity their best try.  Children also have some calm play time in the Acorn Room where they have opportunities to build their communication skills in a small group.
Tuesday PEEK Group 
In this group we have been developing our art skills and outdoor learning experiences.  We are lucky to welcome children and staff from Antonine Primary at this time.  It has been great to build positive relationships with children and adults from another school.  Children particularly enjoy outdoor cooking sessions and getting involved in some messy art!  Jenifer from PEEK loves to gather the children’s views and create fabulous lessons that grab their interest!

With support and training from our PEEK partners, a selection of our Primary 5’s have been learning to be playground buddies.  This involves the children taking on a leadership role in supporting younger pupils to play games positively.  This has been a big challenge for our P5’s.  They have been working hard to build their confidence and communication skills and have led some play for our Primary 4 pupils.  Keep up the great work P5 Playground Buddies!
Friday PE and Sensory Play Group  Free Vector | Cartoon illustration of children in physical education class
For some of our pupils, being in the gym hall in a large group can be challenging.  This session gives those pupils the opportunity to participate in physical activity while in a small group; this is then followed by some lovely, calm sensory time.  We hope to build the children’s confidence and provide some positive routines in the gym hall that our pupils can transfer when using the space with their main class.  Our current focus is following safety rules in the gym hall and children are making steady progress.
