Some of our pupils have made the most of being outside this morning, and are surely feeling the Christmas spirit.
They have been planning and serving up a delicious Christmas dinner in the outdoor kitchen for their friends. They have been busy counting how many people would be coming for their dinner, and making sure they had the correct amount of plates! This included 1-1 counting, and some subitising. When they realised another pupil had come into the garden to play, they were quick to make sure they had another plate, turning their party of 3 into a party of 4.
The boys made some “sizzling stuffing”, gravy, tatties, sausages and turkey. Another pupil made a lovely pudding to share.
Very importantly, one of our pupils pointed out that “wir sausages hae to be peerie”!
This was a lovely opportunity to explore numeracy skills by counting and subitising while naturally practicing social inclusion as they welcome their friends into their game.
Outdoor play encourages them to use their own voices and build their creative confident needed to solve problems and share ideas together.
