Glendevon have had a lovely term! We have had lots of great cooking experiences, local walks in the community, worked hard on our topic of People Who Help Us where we enjoyed some fab drama sessions and have enjoyed lots of sensory messy play.
On our last week we have enjoyed an Easter Egg hunt in the garden and made some amazing Easter crafts and cards.
What a busy term we have had in Glendevon! The children have firstly enjoyed cross class, mixing with other children around the school in outdoor activities. They were involved in singing, stories, circle games, litter picking or sensory play every week.
Then we were hard working with crafting Christmas things and it was lovely to see the whole class actively involved in this. We also explored different types of winter messy play and lots of practicing and preparation for the Christmas show….which of course was fab! All the children coped so well with this. Well done Glendevon children!!
Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year!!!
It was great to see everyone happy to return to music and to welcome some new faces joining us for musical fun too.
We began the term with some familiar songs and activities to help settle everyone in before focusing on silly Mr. Macarella. This clapping song tells us how he didn’t use his umbrella to keep dry and how 8 raindrops fell on him. Then we all count and clap while learning about the different parts of the body where the rain fell. We then moved onto playing the rain sounds and the 8 raindrops on different instruments as the rain drops fell on his musicians.
This term we also have some smaller Music groups with Lammermuir and early Primary children focusing on musical play and exploration, intensive interaction, movement and nursery rhymes.
Secondary had two cross-class music groups and some also have 1-1 sessions this term. One group began working on choosing and playing instruments that will help tell the story of a journey into space. This will help them work as a group with solo spots on their chosen instruments that will go towards their SQA awards. The other group are enjoying playing and moving along to music from different genres as they work towards their ASDAN awards.
We will continue the fun into next term, adding in seasonal songs for Halloween and Christmas. Have a great October break!
