The Grand Opening Ceremony………
And now the real learning begins:
We have Primary Seven making the most of this wonderful space, whilst they can!
Primary Five becoming one with nature.
Primary Two enjoying French cuisine as they transformed our outdoor classroom and playground into Cafe Papillon.
What wonderful additions to our school, we look forward to lots of outdoor learning to come.
Meanwhile our nursery pupils are, as always, very busy…..
This week in nursery we have moved on to learning all about our bodies.
In art the children painted self portraits using a mirror to look closely at their facial features. These have been displayed in the art area so please take a look.
Outdoors they have been using the stethoscope to record their resting heartbeat and their active heartbeat after vigorous exercise. The weather was very kind to us this week and all children were out in the garden exploring the numbered stepping stones, using their balancing skills and drawing themselves with the large chalk.
In numeracy they have been using their brains to help them match colour and number to quantity using the coloured vehicles. They have been exploring the big skeleton floorpuzzle helping them to name the different bones in the body.
In the watertray they have been taking turns to hold up the number while the children used a range of tongs and fishing tools to count and match the number of dinosaurs they found.
Snack has been busy this week as the children discussed and recorded on a mindmap ‘What makes them healthy’
They used a range of food, fruit and vegetables to make their own snack people.
In Literacy they having been reading the story of ‘Funny Bones’ and sequencing the events in the story. They have used the smartboard to learn the names of different parts of their bodies through a range of action songs such as Funny Bones, Dem Bones and the Skeleton Dance. Active learning is a fabulous way to get healthy and learn at the same time.
How lovely are the new Pic Collage photographs, Mrs Little is educating us all with her photography skills.
