Hello Mull Class,

I hope you have all had a good week and you have managed to try out some of the activities that I have uploaded to keep your skills developing.

Friday is Movie Club in Mull class so why not organise Movie night for your own family.

I have uploaded the visuals and power point that we follow in class to support this.

You could also make some biscuits over the weekend to share with your family. I have uploaded a recipe for you to try out.

I hope you all get out for some fresh air and exercise over the weekend and most importantly keep safe and well. We will start again on Monday.

Hello Mull Class,

I hope you all had a good Wednesday.

Thursday is topic day and our topic is France. We are learning about French art, French music and French food.

Before the holidays I uploaded a recipe for French Toast to sample some French food.

This week I thought we could look at some French art. You could take a virtual stroll through a French art gallery. I have uploaded a power point with a link to a Virtual Museum Tour of the Louvre.

You will need to play the slide show from the beginning, then click on the link to the Louvre when you get to that page in the slideshow.

I am learning about French Art – The Louvre

Keep up with the day, date and month by going through your daily calendar and choosing Thursday.

You could also read your book of the week. Can you join in with any lines from the story yet?

Hope you are working hard at your weekly chore and helping out by preparing your snacks and drinks throughout the day.

Most importantly, get out for some fitness and fresh air. The weather has been fantastic for getting out for a good walk or you could enjoy time in the garden. If you have not tried it already you could take a look at the Scavenger Hunt that I uploaded yesterday.

As always, stay safe and well and have fun no matter what you choose to do.

Hello Mull Class,

Hope you all had a good Tuesday.

Wednesday looks to be another beautiful day so why not get out for a walk. While you are out you could collect the items listed on the Scavenger Hunt that I will upload. I will set different items to collect each week.

Scavenger Hunt Week 1

On a Wednesday afternoon we have home economics. Practice those chopping and mixing skills by making the pasta recipe that I uploaded before the hols. Will upload it again for you.

Check the calendar to find the day and date and remember you can read your book of the week.

Don’t forget to keep those functional skills going through your daily chore and to be as independent as possible across the day.

For the girls I have uploaded their hand and finger programme for them to try at home. The girls would work through this programme each morning after their sensory work out.

As always, these are just some activities that you might want to try out at home. Pick out what suits you and have fun.

Hello Mull class,

Hope you all had a good Monday!

Tuesday morning is P.E morning for Mull Class. If you can, get out for some exercise. You could go for a long walk, a run or get out on your scooter or bike. Anything that you enjoy and gets you moving to keep you fit and active.

On a Tuesday afternoon we usually do our writing programme. You could follow the usual programme then make your marks with water out in the garden with the hose or a watering can.

Remember you can keep up with the day and date with the daily calendar and could read your book of the week.

Keep working hard and helping out with a daily chore and develop those independence skills by organising own snacks.

Have a great Tuesday everyone. Keep safe and well.

Here are some visuals to support the Stick Maths.

Have a great day.

Good morning Mull Class,

I hope you all had lots of fun over the Easter holidays.

It’s Monday again and if you wanted to you could look at the daily calendar and find the Monday song, the month and the date!

You could choose a new story of the week to keep those listening and reading skills up.

You could also set a chore for the week ahead, taking some responsibility around the house and practice your functional skills.

Monday would be our rebound morning so if you have a trampoline at home you could get out for a bounce on it.

On a Monday afternoon it would be our jass afternoon, so if you are going out for your daily walk or exercise why not do some maths at the same time.

You could collect as many sticks as you can and when you get home count them and put them in order of size. Then if you want you could make a stick trail for yourself or someone else to follow. I will upload some visuals to support this.

What ever you do today have a great day and enjoy yourselves.

French toast 

I am learning about France for blog

Hello everyone,

The topic this term was France. We were focusing on French food, French art and French music.

So far this term we have made and tasted croissants and looked at and recreated ballet dancers like the French artist Degas. We also chose and listened to some French music.

I have uploaded the power point slide show that we look at and listen to at the beginning of our topic each week.

I have also uploaded a recipe for French toast for our French Food of the week for you to make and taste at home.

Hope you have a great Thursday

Gardening Job – sweeping

cooked pasta

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all keeping safe and well.

Wednesday morning in Mull class is a jass morning. As we are not able to get out and deliver any donations to the local food bank, why don’t you get outside and do some work in the garden. I have uploaded a sweeping job for the garden that the class regularly undertake in the school.

Wednesday afternoon is our Home Economics afternoon. This term we have been working on mixing and chopping skills. I have uploaded the pasta recipe that the class have been following each week.

By repeating the same recipe we become familiar with the words used in the recipe and the sequence of the instructions. This enables the pupils to anticipate the next step and develop their independence skills.

I usually cook off a couple of handfuls of pasta, for each pupil, and let it cool completely before we begin.

The boys could check out the calendar and select Wednesday to listen to the Wednesday song and the girls could do their sensory workout for Wednesday.

You could also read your book of the week.

And don’t forget about those functional and independence skills!

You could keep working on functional skills through a weekly chore and independence skill by organising and preparing own snacks.

Please remember that this is all completely optional and you can dip into the activities as it suits you!

Have a great Wednesday and keep safe and well.

Jennifer Moncrieff

Good morning everyone.

I hope you are all keeping safe and well.

I have uploaded the sensory workout that the girls would participate in each morning for the girls to continue at home if it suits.

I have adapted the calendar work that the boys would do daily. I have added in some songs. If you run the power point from the beginning and click on the link for that particular day, it should play a song for that day. The link only works if you run the slideshow from the beginning. I hope his makes sense!

Today would be our trampoline and rebound morning so if you have a trampoline at home try to get out for a bounce. Keep fit and active and practise those rebound skills.

This afternoon would be our jass afternoon in Mull class. If you are heading out for a walk you could try the leaf maths I have uploaded.

Remember you can choose a book of the week to read each day. This is building up recognition of characters, words from the story and the story line.

Work on those functional skills by setting a weekly chore. Could be washing the dishes or drying the dishes, setting the table or wiping the table, brushing the floor or collecting washing and loading the machine.

Keep developing those independence skills by preparing own snacks. Could be peeling, opening, slicing, cutting, spreading or pouring, depending on the snack.

All of the above is optional and just some tasks to keep up the good learning that has taken place in Mull class.

Have a fun day and keep safe and well.
