This week we have all been stars!! We enjoyed making ‘Naughty Jellyfish’ and singing our number song.
We all worked hard on lots of /a/ activities too.
This week we made a big shark to go on the wall. We used sponges to paint the shark and had to take turns so we didn’t all get covered in paint!
Our Commotion in the Ocean display is starting to look good!
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 split school placements .
We will be working hard on developing language skills in the morning and afternoon sessions as well as focussing on working on the children’s individual targets as stated in their Individual Education Programmes (IEP) through topics and class activities.
Teachers are keen to work in partnership with parents and strive to keep you informed. There will be Parent ‘drop in sessions’ on the 24th January and the 28th March however please do not hesitate to contact us via the diary or telephone with any concerns.

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.

Last week we put up our Christmas tree! We all decorated it and put a beautiful star at the top! We are all getting really excited.
Last week we worked on the story of Hansel and Gretel. We loved listening to the story and watching it on the SMARTboard. We all worked hard to complete lots of fun activities. We were all really scared of the witch but liked the thought of a house made of sweets!
This afternoon we made a Gingerbread Cottage just like the one in Hansel and Gretel. It took a long time to put the gingerbread house together using icing and sweeties!
The best bit was eating the gingerbread house! Yum Yum!
