New beginnings ~ Week 1 in Mull Clan

It has been a busy week for all of our new P1 pupils in Mull Clan.  This week we have had a big focus on:

  • Building relationships
  • Developing independence
  • Learning all of our daily routines
  • Developing quality listening skills

All of our pupils have worked hard to find their way around our school building, how to access the toilets and playground with increasing independence.  We have had to look after all of our belongings, remembering to put our things safely in our bags (we will keep on working on this!).  Many of our pupils have also had to learn how to order their lunch and manage the routines in the dinner hall; we now know where we need to sit and our collect cutlery and drinks.

Mull Clan have played lots of team games that have helped us; learn about each other, follow rules; listen carefully to instructions and most importantly have fun!

In our classroom we have tried hard to build up new friendships through our play zones.  We have enjoyed lots of construction, imaginative role play, exploration of sand, problem solving with puzzles and time to explore our fine motor skills with writing and drawing opportunities.

We even had a visit from Miss Christie who helped us investigate STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) where we explored the story of an adventurous mouse
and made our very own rocket mice using our STEM brains to decide which bottle we could use to shoot our rockets to space.

It has been wonderful to see everyone’s confidence grow in such a short space of time.

Have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Robertson
