Home Learning Activities

All home learning activities for this period of Lockdown will be shared via Seesaw by your child’s class teacher.  You can, however, revisit some of the activities blogged during previous lockdown.  Our ‘For parents section’ also has lots of useful websites and links including Education Scotland’s complex hub page.  If there is anything else we can provide you with for home, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Health Week Friday

Our fabulous film director Mrs Wilson has put together a fun video showing how exercise helps us all to feel happy and the importance of rest and relaxation!

Can anyone join in with running, jumping, dancing, stretching?

Remember to have your families give you a pamper session afterwards!

Hope everyone has a lovely summer holiday.  All of the staff are looking forward to seeing everyone again in August!

Arran and Bute Class Monday

Good morning, I hope you all had a nice weekend.

We would normally go shopping on a Monday morning- pupils could help to make a shopping list, do an online shopping order, put shopping away.

We also have rebound therapy on a Monday afternoon if anyone has a trampoline at home and would like to practise their skills- Mr Bowen has put a fantastic video on the youtube page with some ideas.

Mrs Wilson has posted a sensory art video to the youtube page for anyone looking for creative activities.

We also have a ‘Singing Hands’ session on  a Monday- we practice two or three signs and then try to sign them during the song.

Look out for Health Week activities every day this week.

Have a good day.

Good morning everyone.

We would normally have a movie afternoon on a Friday. Can you choose a favourite film to watch with your families? Can you sign the name of your favourite film? Maybe you could help to prepare special snacks to share with your families.

Mrs Wilson has added a sensory art activity for anyone wishing to try.

Have a good weekend!

Arran and Bute Class Thursday

Good morning everyone. According to the forecast, this has to be one of our few dry days so hope you make the most of the weather!

Thursday is our Home Economics day.  Could you help to prepare a snack or meal for yourself or your family? You could also set the table, clean up after meal times, help to wash the dishes. Mrs Campbell has added some cookery videos to the Haysholm youtube channel for anyone who would like to try out a recipe.
