We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. It’s great to see the children back and hear all their Christmas stories. They all enjoyed the school panto and their Christmas party.
After a very busy term 1 we are looking forward to a productive and enjoyable term 2 (January to Easter). We hope the children settle well back into their afternoon nursery placements and enjoy a full nursery curriculum. We are looking forward to visiting them at their nursery to see how they are each getting on and to share strategies and learning targets.
This term we will have a weekly focus on a sound, number song and nursery rhyme. We will be teaching skills and knowledge and understanding through our topics of ‘Commotion in the Ocean’ and ‘Farmyard Hullaballoo’. We will be investigating life under the sea as well as finding out more about work on a farm. This term we will also be working of finding out about the ‘Chinese New Year’. We will be performing a dragon dance in the gym and tasting some Chinese food. We will be finding out more about Robert Burns and his work, trying some Scottish food and hopefully trying out some dancing too! We will also be working on the children’s individual targets as stated in their Individual Education Programmes (IEP) through topics and class activities.

Sponsored Zumba
The sponsored Zumba was a huge success and we raised over £4,000. A huge thank you to those of you who supported us and to Mr.Johnston for leading the activity…. he certainly showed us a few moves that day! The Pupil Council were consulted on how to best spend the money raised and decided that each class will get some money to upgrade their class library. We have been busy sourcing books and special deals for both the Language Unit Class and the Assessment and Development Class. The Christmas Fayre was also very successful in raising around £1,500.
