The whole school had lots of fun engaging with activities from all areas of STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art and Maths.) Here are some pictures of everyone working hard and we are looking forward to next year!
This week has been so beautiful and sunny. We have enjoyed exploring nature outdoors, taking the classroom outside (in our fancy gazebo) and our spray painting session with edible chalk. We love the effect this makes on textured paper. It has been our favourite way to learn about and experience colour. Look out for more examples of our artwork soon. We enjoyed a very regal lunch this afternoon with themed cupcakes, and savoury dishes to celebrate the big day on Saturday 😊. Lastly a quick update on how our caterpillars are getting on…. they have almost tripled in size. Hope you enjoy our photos and we hope you have a fabulously festive weekend.
Warmest wishes from the Primary A team 
Our Caterpillars have arrived and it’s tine to get excited about life cycles. Woohoo! Our 5 new friends received a warm welcome as inquisitive little faces greeted them. We have been preparing for the arrival with lots of themed activities to help the children connect their 
learning alongside some objects of reference. We will monitor the progress of “The Incredibles” and keep you up to date. In the meantime please enjoy photos of the big event and I’m sure you will agree that Primary A have some super nature detectives in the making.
Warmest wishes,
The Primary A Team

Hello from Primary A,
This week we have been getting busy with Science, Art and Technology. The children (and staff) throughly enjoyed it. We made puffy paint, exploding cola rockets, fizzy lemons, Stik bot animations and a whole host more. We explored colours, textures and cause & effect.
The weather is beginning to change for the better (finally!!) so today we took our sensory session, for Fabulous Friday, outside. We learned all about the story “Sharing a shell” and had fun in the sparkly water tray…..then the bubble machine made an appearance. What a way to end the week!
Warmest Wishes

On Friday 16th March we had a dress up or dress down day in aid of Sport Relief. The whole school came together to get their Strictly Come Disco on partied the afternoon away. We decorated with disco balls that the pupils made and had sensory lights. Everyone had a great time and we raised £66.00 for Sport Relief.
Well done everyone!!!

Our annual Burns Brunch event took place on February the 8th. It was well attended by both parents and the local community. Everyone joined in with the scottish country dancing, clapped along with the procession and address to the haggis and the skits performed by the primary classes. Then we had some scottish delicacies (haggis, neeps and tatties.)
It was a huge success and a fantastic experience for all our pupils to be involved in. We would like to thank everyone for their support and hope to see you next year 🙂

Stuart Forsyth the Sports Development Worker connected to Fullerton Youth and Community Project has been coming into the school to deliver a 6 week block of sports taster sessions.
The pupils have had great fun and participated in all the activities which have been well organised and planned for our pupils. The sports coaches have been involved in making the activities fun and challenging for all needs.
Happy New Year everyone. We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and enjoyed the holidays.
Primary A had a very productive first day back. We explored many different sensory resources but our favourite was exploring light and sound in the Sensory Studio.
HS and CD sharing lights and space. Both boys were tracking the lights when moved and were independently moving them.
CD moving the light to create different patterns.
CR activating light up balls and independently discovering they can squeak. CR explored different ways to make them squeak by tapping them together, bouncing them and throwing them.
HS was actively moving and following the lights. He found it funny when they flashed.
So far this term Primary A have been very busy. Nativity rehearsals have us all prepared for our upcoming perormances and we hope you are as excited as we are to see it.
As a class we decided we would like to donate one of our sensory elves. We felt that the Children’s Ward at Crosshouse is somewhere that many of our pupils experience and we wanted to give back. Chloe helped to package up our Elf and post it off to them. We hope they got a lovely surprise and that their Elf isn’t up to too much mischief 😁

On Monday the 4th of December we visited Ardrossan Library. Lara read us a story all about Ice Cream and then we did some arts and crafts, making an ice cream picture. Our pictures are on display in the library. Lara very kindly presented each of us with a Book Bag to take home.

We LOVED the pantomime. We had great fun dancing and singing along with the music and watching lots of different characters. Harry was particularly excited when a Minion made an appearance 🙂
It’s Panto Time!
Debbie brought her puppy Ozy into school to see us and we all spent some time clapping him and watching him explore our classroom. Ozy was very calm and sat for us to touch him and feel his soft fur. He even did some tricks for us 🐶

Shaun from Sensory Guru helped us to experience and explore a Magic Carpet when he brought it to our Christmas Fayre. It was AMAZING and we are very excited to be able to donate towards this from our Elf fundraising. We all spent time exploring the different apps and activating the carpet through movement. We all tried different activities and were able to show our favourites through our facial expressions and vocalisations.
Experiencing the Magic Carpet
On Monday 11th December we joined Primary B to attend the Variety Club Party at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Glasgow. There was music, dancing, puppeteers, party poppers and even Santa came to see us. We had a wonderful time and want to thank everyone at the Variety Club for inviting us and for the gifts they gave.
Great fun at the Variety Club Christmas Party in Glasgow
There has been lots of sensory play in between Nativity rehearsals and all of our other activities but making snow and having snowball fights was our favourite. We made the snow together then had great fun getting messy. Lots of work on gross and fine motor (as well as working our tummy muscles through laughing 😂).
Snow much Fun!
Mr Bubbles has been keeping us busy and we have to find him every morning. He loves to hide and surprise us. We have found him hiding in Harry’s chair, on top of the Christmas Tree and even sliding down a tinsel zip slide. We are using our problem solving skills to find him and see what mischief he has managed.
Mr Bubbles has been up to mischief
Today was our Christmas Party and we all wore lovely Christmassy outfits. We danced, played some games and waited very well for Santa to call our names. He even had gifts for us. We are all very lucky.
Christmas Party fun
We hope you can join us for our Nativity Performance and if anyone has photos of their Elves having fun we would love to have them so we can share them all with you.
Thank you.
