Nursery Newsletter – October/November
The children in our Nursery have been very busy playing and learning in their different indoor and outdoor spaces. Please find a link below to our Nursery Newsletter for October-November which has all our updates and captures some of our recent experiences in Nursery.
Learning in Primary 4A
This week we have been learning about descriptive language and planning to write our own descriptions. We started by writing descriptive vocabulary to describe our class pet. We then organised descriptive words into groups. In teams we made a description bubble for our class writing wall. We used words to describe the colour, size, number, texture and shape of a person or thing. We tried to be as creative as we could using words, pictures, photographs or play dough to present our ideas.
Both Primary 4 classes had their first session with NYCOS on Wednesday. We were learning about pitch, temp and pulse when singing.
We have been thinking about the well-being indicator’s in class. We worked in pairs to make models that represent what each indicator means to us.
Creating our Class Charter P6
Creating our Class Charter
As we welcomed P6 back after the summer we decided to look again at the Wellbeing Indicators,School Rules and LEARN Values. We looked at how these link to the UNCRC Rights of a Child. We decided which elements we could use effectively when creating our Class Charters. We were surprised to see how many rights were already embedded in both our rules and values. The class created a brilliant display of both their Charters and Indicators. When looking at our Charters you will notice that each one is different and each one is signed. We decided it was important each charter was personal to each member of the class,this meant we were getting it right for every individual an the class were beginning to understand the idea of Equity,which is one of our LEARN values.Â
