Lead Learners in Deans Den!!

It has been another busy week in Deans Den as we continue to work on achieving our individual targets. Mrs Morrison is proud of the efforts of all the boys and girls, well done!!

Another success of Deans Den this week has been the children’s enthusiasm towards developing the role of the lead learner within the group. Children are given the opportunity to take a main role in learning opportunities such as storyteller, line leaders and group helper. These are all important skills to develop to help the children become independent learners. Keep working hard boys and girls!!

Happy New Year from Deans Dens!!

Happy New Year!! It is lovely to see the children back after the holidays. They have been lucky boys and girls as I have been hearing all about the lovely gifts Santa for them all!!

During our group time we have been remembering to follow our group charter and setting some new targets for the coming term. Here are some of them:

To use pencil control and not scribble- Andrew

To use scissors correctly- Max

To use the picture clues to talk about what is happening in a story- Charli- Mae

I am sure the children will work hard to achieve these targets.

Christmas arrives in Deans Den!!

We have been feeling joyful in Deans Den and have made a start at making our room look and feel festive. The boys and girls made decorations and helped Mrs Morrison decorate the tree. Well done boys and girls, Deans Den is looking FAB-U-LOUS!!!

Mrs Morrison is proud of all the boys and girls for their excellent performances in the infant Nativity. You were all superstars, well done!!

It has been another busy week in Deans Den. Mrs Wallace visited the den on Wednesday as Mrs Morrison was working in P4. During her visit the children discussed the emotion’ scared’ and’ frightened’ and talked about what makes them feel this way.

” The dark makes me frightened sometimes” Max

Spiders and monsters make me scared” Maddison

“My Mummy helps me when I’m scared” Charli- Mae

” Mummy and Daddy help me when I’m frightened” Andrew

It has been another busy week in Deans Den. We continue to work on our listening skills and being kind and caring to others. This week we learned more about using the golden words, such as please, thank you, pardon me, excuse me and sorry. I hope the children continue to use these words at home.

We have been working together with P1-3 children learning the songs and actions for the Nativity. It is hard work remembering all the new words, but with support and encouragement we will do it!!

We continue to work hard in Deans Den. We are learning to become more independent and taking part in snack helps us to do so. First we clean the table to help get rid of any germs. Next one member of the group hands out the placemats, whilst other children hand out the plates and cups. Mrs Morrison will prepare the snack and then we all sit together around the dining table and enjoy snack. Our jobs aren’t finished then, as we have to wash and dry our own cups and plates!! We are getting much better at this and I am sure they could help their grown ups with these jobs at home!!

Deans Den

Many thanks to all visitors who came to help celebrate Dean’s Primary School 50th birthday. It was very well attended and our visitors were impressed with the children’s learning and classroom environments.

This week in Deans Den we have been focusing on how to be a good friend and how our actions and words may affect others. We read the story of The Rainbow Fish and learned how important it is to share with others. With a little help from Mrs Morrison, the boys and girls are trying to demonstrate this skill during their time in the den and also in the primary one classrooms.

We are all excited to be taking part in the school nativity and we had our first listen to some of the songs we have to practise. A lot of hard work and fun ahead in the coming weeks!!

Deans Den update!!

It has been another busy week in Deans Den. We continue to work on improving our listening skills as this is a very important skill to master . When you listen well, learning can take place!! One area of learning that has been a success this week is developing our pencil control. Andrew was proud of his detailed colouring of the number 4 and said ” I’m not scribbling.” Well done Andrew!!

The boys are girls are excited to have snack time together and we made a shopping list of the different foods we would like to enjoy. Some suggestions included apples, bananas and crackers.

As it was bonfire night this week we talked about the different ways of keeping safe but still enjoying the fireworks. We were lucky to have a visit from Fire Officer Steel who talked to us about his job and we enjoyed asking him questions too.

Friday is a special day for Deans Primary School as we celebrate it’s 50th birthday. We look forward to sharing our learning with you, hope to see you all tomorrow!!

 

Busy times in Deans Den!!

It has been another busy week in Deans Den. We continue to work hard on improving our listening skills, which we know will help us with our learning. We also got together around the snack table to decide how best to behave when enjoying snack. Here are some of the suggestions:

“We all wait and behave at the snack table” Charlie- Mae

“Close your mouth when you are eating” Andrew

“Help to tidy up after snack” Maddison

“Use quiet voices at the snack table” Max

“Always use your manners” Mrs Morrison

Snack menus will be sent home next week. Please have a look in your child’s bag and if there are any dietary concerns, please talk to Mrs Morrison as soon as possible.

Welcome to Dean’s Den

A big welcome from Dean’s Den!! This week we have been working on improving our listening skills, using song and actions to help us.   We also enjoyed exploring a variety of stories, including The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s child by Julia Donaldson. We have enjoyed them so much that we can retell most of the story, using props to help us!!!

We look forward to developing our learning further in the coming weeks.
