Autumn term in Lomond class
We have had a fantastic start to the year in Lomond, everyone has settled in really well and we have been doing lots of fun activities.
Have a lovely break everyone and we’ll see you after the holidays.
Term 2 in Pentland Class
We have had lots of fun in Pentland Class this term. We have been thinking about all the different sounds we hear when we are out for a walk as well as all the usual activities like messy play, cooking, communication work and much, much more. Everyone has participated enthusiastically in all the events like Children in need day and world children’s day as well as things like Halloween and Christmas. A highlight of the term has been our weekly horse riding sessions which have seen all the children grow in confidence and improve their balance skills.
Everyone in Pentland would like to wish you a happy and healthy Christmas and a good New Year. We look forward to seeing you all back in January.
Autumn term in Pentland class
We have been very busy in Pentland class this term. We have been learning all about the three little pigs and their adventures as well as making the most of the nice weather and enjoying some really messy play. We have done some cooking with mixed results although the chocolate mug cake went down well with everyone!

Spring Term in Pentland
What a busy term we had last term in Pentland, we have done lots of exciting activities. Everything from messy play with flour and shaving foam- not at the same time! to painting with kitchen utensils and toothpaste. We have done lots of physical things like PE, dancing and dressing up and even had time to fit in lots of walks. On our last walk we decorated some hard boiled eggs for Easter and rolled them down a hill. Here are some pictures of what we have been doing.
Christmas in Pentland Class
Christmas is always a very busy time, here are a few pictures of some of the things we have been up to in class.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from everyone in Pentland class. Have a wonderful holiday and we look forward to seeing you all in the new year.
Winter term in Pentland class
What a busy term we have had! Our topic this term has been the weather, we have been learning all about different kinds of weather by going outside at least once every day. We have also been experimenting and exploring in our messy play. Did you know you can make it snow inside using shaving foam?
Messy play has been a firm favourite this term- for the children anyway! The classroom has often ended up covered in flour, pasta, rice, tinsel, jelly, cornflour and of course glitter.
We have had to do a lot more online activities this term, level four meant that we had online music sessions and even online visits from the clown doctors and an online pantomime! it has been different but the children have still enjoyed it.
Beyond the classroom we have been for our sponsored walk, all the children amazed us with their stamina as the walk was further than we would normally go but they all did very well, and of course a fantastic amount of money was raised. We have also been part of the UNICEF Outright campaign around climate change with all the children being part of making a poster and putting it up in the community.
Cooking had been another favourite activity for the children this term, we have made everything from fruit smoothies to soup and cheesecakes to peppermint bark. All so delicious there was none left to send home.
