Arran class pupils had fun leading up to the garden party, decorating hats to wear on the day, making goods to sell at the enterprise table, and painting stones to put in our garden. We planted a lovely hanging basket and filled our painted tyre with lovely colourful plants.
On the day the pupils all had their own special jobs. The pupils enjoyed spending some of their tuck shop money to buy plants and gifts.

Arran Class Term 4

This is going to be a very busy term for the pupils in Arran class.We started off the term with a special memorial day for Craig Collins (we sadly lost Craig earlier in the year).

The pupils have visited Country Baskets in Glasgow to purchase goods for our enterprise items which we will sell at the Summer Garden Party (Tuesday 2nd June at Haysholm school).

We are currently developing our creativity in art classes at Irvine Royal Academy, where we have had the opportunity to use and explore different textures and materials. We have been working with clay over the last few weeks creating wonderful boats, which will be exhibited at the Maritime Museum’s Puffers cafe (details to follow).

At the moment the pupils are enjoying weekly Drake Music sessions with Ron. This is proving to be very enjoyable with the pupils and is allowing each individual pupil to interact depending on their choice and ability.

This is health week and there are many activities planned to encourage the pupils to make good choices about what they eat and encourage the pupils to exercise and keep fit.

Thursday mornings are spent building co-ordination, strength and stamina at All Ability  Cycles in Kilmarnock, this is great fun for everyone (even the staff).

Arran class continue to be enthusiastic about our weekly Healthy Tuck shop, which we have every Friday (50p). The pupils work hard, they plan the shopping for goods to sell,they buy the shopping, they set up the tuck shop, tidy up afterwards and keep a record of the profit/loss made at the tuck shop. Every child has a job for which they are responsible.

Keep updated with Arran class blog, lots more planned for the upcoming weeks.
