Intergenerational Dance

Thank you to everyone who could join us yesterday for an afternoon of dancing.  Thanks also to Miss Stewart and her brother Darren, for the live music.   Fabulous to have live music.  Alison from the canteen made delicious cakes/biscuits and Mrs Manson organised refreshments.   Thank you ladies!  Some Primary 7 pupils joined too and members from the Nesting and Girlsta Jarl Squad opened up our dance for us, which was great!  Very much appreciated.  We had a fun afternoon and it was just so nice to see everyone.   We’re planning to learn more traditional dances in our Teacher Led P.E. time.

 

 

Visit to Montfield

Our class  visited Montfield this week, to sing songs, chat and have a dance with some of the senior citizens and staff.   Miss Stewart accompanied us on the piano.  We had fun and the staff at Montfield kindly shared a snack with us to take home.   We used our communication and creative meta skills.

Special Delivery!

We’re so fortunate to have received beautiful gifts today.  The  children in the class were each gifted gorgeous baubles from Shereen, Rosie and the service users at E.T. and Taing House Day Care.   We will hopefully visit again in the New Year.  Thank you Shereen and everyone else in Day Care!

Outdoor Learning – Magnetism

As part of our Forces and Energy topic learning, we headed outdoors yesterday to investigate different  things that were either magnetic or non-magnetic.  We used our communication and cooperation meta skills whilst working in groups and sharing resources.  We found several metal objects that were magnetic.   We used different magnet strengths and discovered that not all metals are magnetic.  It was fun!

Some comments from the children:

“It was good working in groups and sharing thoughts.”

“It was nice to learn and not just in the classroom.”

“We want to do it again!”

“Next time, we’ll try to use even quieter voices as other classes were working.”
