Well, What a busy term! Glendevon have been busy as usual and our topic this term has been technology and software. All the children have been exploring various ways that we can use technology. We have been using switches to operate lots of fun toys. Skeletrics tracks, musical toys, vibrating cushions to name a few. We have enjoyed some competitive races using the skeletric track!
We have used technology in cooking as well. We have been making lots of nice things and using switches to operate our equipment such as the food mixer. We made smoothies, cupcakes and popcorn cakes.
Others ways we have been using technology is by using our eye gaze and smartboard to play games and make up stories as well as mark making. Everyone enjoyed making their own picture. Some of the children have been using their switch to control the drive deck to move around the school and playground as well and having game time on the Xbox and controlling our lights as the Indepen’dance’ DJ.
The focus of our sensology sessions this term has been about a kite – what a great piece of technology that is and latterly we have had some wonderful days to explore our kite in the sunshine – we are hoping for more sunny days in term 4 when our topic is Spring.
We have had music live in with us on lots of occasions this term too which has been great. The children in Glendevon all love music so it something the whole class can enjoy together. Some children have had music therapy too and others clown doctor sessions which have been great fun. Every pupil has been going to a cross class group where all the primary classes mix together and split into various interest groups. Some have enjoyed sensory stories, some walking and dancing and others art and messy play. It has been nice to see all our friends from other classes and this has been a great way for us to continue to build our Beatlie community.
We have enjoyed special events such as the healthy eating cafe, Mother’s day, World book day, Burn’s ceilidh, odd sock day and are looking forward to our Spring Clean week.
Everyone is looking forward to a well earned Easter break for some rest recovery and chocolate eggs!!
