Glendevon Term 1

Leave a comment

What a great first term we have had in our amazing new school.  We  have all settled in so well into our new environment and have been so excited to use all of the wonderful areas of our new school.  In Glendevon we LOVE our outdoor area – we would spend all day out there if we could!   We have also loved exploring our new sensory room and soft play areas.

In class we have been busy with a variety of art, messy play and cooking experiences and we have all rolled our sleeves up and got involved in all the mess!

We hope you enjoy having a wee look at our video of all the different things we have been up to this term.  We hope you all have a great holiday and we are looking forward to our next term of fun in Glendevon.

What an exciting first term we have had in our new school. Everyone has had great fun exploring all the new areas of our school. The garden has been a particular favourite with all the children and they have enjoyed making full use of all the new equipment. Everything is so accessible for all the children. Another favourite of the children has been the multi-sensory room, it’s been a favourite of the staff as well with the ability to either a calming environment or a more interactive space where children can move around frequently to pop bubbles or squash ants!

Have fun looking through some of our photos of us enjoying our new school.

We have loved settling into our new ELC this term.  You can see from the smiling faces in the photos that our children have been enjoying exploring the different areas of the school, both indoors and in the playground.  The children have been working extremely hard on important skills like playing and developing their independence using switches, benches and walkers.  So far we have shared the Very Hungry Caterpillar story and made lots of butterfly pictures, made our own scarecrow for our first cafe in the new school and have enjoyed lots of sensory art work using items such as shells, pine cones and twigs.  We hope everyone has a lovely holiday and a well earned rest.

October already!!!

We cannot believe how quickly the first term has passed – and how much we have squeezed into the time we have had!

Of course much of it was getting to know our new school and environment- and we are loving it. We have been so lucky to get to experience so much outside with the weather on our side. The children are experiencing all the wonderful playground resources as well as the natural environment and of course the bikes and wheelchair track. We have also been busy doing some Autumn gardening and hopefully we will have lovely blooms in the spring to bring some colour to our class garden areas.

Moving inside and we have been trying out all the lovely new equipment and areas around the school – a favourite being the multi-sensory!

We have all been working hard on our life skills and Asdan qualifications through fun and meaningful activities. We are enjoying lots of interaction with the senior class and utilising our secondary area for getting together for snack, dinner and cross class activities.

We will continue to keep you updated in all we do through our Learners Journals but don’t forget to check Twitter and the Blog for whole school updates.

We wish you a happy holiday and look forward to continuing into the next term with new challenges ahead.

What a fabulous first term we have had in Hopetoun! We’ve been so busy exploring our amazing new school and have especially enjoyed being out in our incredible garden where there is so much to do. We’ve also had lots of lovely new experiences indoors using our new sensory room, soft play, the drama/music room and the art room. It was lovely having you all come to visit and am sure you all think it’s as amazing as we do!

Team Hopetoun wish you all a lovely October break and look forward to all the exciting things that are to come next term. We hope you enjoy our video showing some of the fun we have been having…..

Exploratory Art Sessions

Leave a comment

We have had some great fun during our exploratory art sessions.  Lots of classes have been coming along each week to try out different ways to mark make on paper.  This term we have focused on paint! We have explored various methods of mark making using paint.

The first week we used stampers in paint, we had all different kinds of stamps and made different marks and patterns.  Some children enjoyed using their hands to mark make too.

On week two we used a salad spinner to spin the paint around and make lovely patterns. We also did some splat painting, which was messy but fun!

The third week we made the first letter of our name using masking tape and then used various colours of paint and paintbrushes to paint all around it.  It looked really cool when we peeled of the tape when they were dry to reveal the letter!

Week four we used string to dip into paint and drag along the paper. Everyone’s picture looked different and really effective.

Last week we used cars and animal toys to make tracks and prints on paper and everyone really enjoyed it.

Well done to all the boys and girls who came along and participated so well in the sessions. Some fabulous art work was created in the process!
