Term 3 in Glendevon

The Glendevon boys (and staff) can’t believe that we are nearly at the end of term 3 – it has been such a quick term. Here are some of our best bits.

We all particularly enjoyed utilising the multi-sensory room during our story time which was about a wet walk when we got lost and had to find our way back.  In science week we enjoyed exploring adapting animals in our multi-sensory time.

We continue to have opportunities for pupils to work with specialists who come in to school as well as utilise resources and groups around the local and wider community.

Exploring the Yard adventure playground interacting with unfamiliar peers and staff and developing our gross motor skills.

Happy Hoofbeats caring for an animal and tactile exploration.

Charan, Barrowland Ballet Theatre and Live music now exploring music and movement through music encouraging independence and interactions.

Ensuring that we have regular sessions exploring our sensory development is crucial and the boys enjoy sessions of tac pac, sensology, soft play, bikes and new sensory experiences this term including the zorb balls and hammocks which have been firm favourites.

We hope everyone has a lovely Easter break when it arrives and we are looking forward to some lovely sunny days when we come back in term 4.

 

Term 2 in Glendevon

Sorry we are a bit late putting our review of term 2 on the blog and hope that all our families and friends had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Glendevon enjoyed all of the additional festive experiences including the performance, parties, Christmas garden and winter musical parade.

As always we have been working hard throughout term 2 and continue to use our multi-sensory space for a wide variety of purposes including:

  • to explore relaxation
  • to immerse ourselves in our topic story (which this term has included some of the beautiful items made through exploring materials in art time)

  • songs and singing utilising pupils different communication styles and methods

We hope to put together a wee video showcasing all the ways that we use the 4D room for the end of the year to share with all our parents.

Glendevon took on the roles and responsibilities of our facilities management team (Calum, John & Sandy) for International Children’s day and made sure pupil’s got their lunches, ensured paths were cleared and safe to use and daily school checks for security were carried out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Glendevon’s eco representative has been hard at work in whole school groups throughout term 2 and focused on smaller garden spaces for Winter planting.

Glendevon boys have been exploring science concepts in messy science linked to our fashion and materials topic including; what materials to make our clothes from  and what would happen to different materials when placed in water.  Skills of predicting, showing preferences, retesting theories were all on display – brilliant work boys.

We are all ready for another fun filled term.

Science day, Beatlie 2023 – sensory connections

Video Player

This year the theme for science week was connections so we decided to have a seaside and underwater adventure where we could explore all our sensory connections.

We had lots of fun exploring different elements of being at the seaside and a range of reactions to some of the sensory items we were using – hope you enjoy watching our video.
