The children have been using their own criteria to develop their early numeracy skills, understanding that the last number they say is the amount they have. We have also observed a few of the children making simple calculations through early addition and subtraction, this has led to a small group of learners working together twice a week who have called themselves the “Number Bunch”.
Pattern making was popular during the Burns day celebrations whereby the children chose their own clan tartan to follow the pattern using paint.
Creating their own stories, the children, through the use of puppets, role play and drawings have been able to recreate their own “Once upon a time…..” as they bring National Storytelling week to like.
The Wellbeing Wood with Sid and Shanarri has enabled the children to talk about what they need from significant others as they grow and develop.
Tattie, leek and carrot soup was a firm favourite with almost all the children who were desperate to count out how many carrots, how many onions and how many tatties they need as they put their culinary skills to the test. The children were also learning how to be safe in the kitchen, around the cooker and whilst using knives and graters.
Play on Pedals is continuing to be popular choice of learning outdoors. This is an excellent programme whereby the children are developing their literacy, numeracy, balance and coordination skills.
