Here are this week\u2019s highlights from the Blue Table:<\/p>\n
Ollie said the learning highlight of his week was tracing around the outline of a map of West Lothian.\u00a0 Ollie did a super job and concentrated very hard to record the town names and the 2 motorways and train line that runs across West Lothian.<\/p>\n
Ethan loved music with Mrs Morrison when the class learned some songs and stories about heroes of Troy.<\/p>\n
Rory LOVED a game we played to learn how many days were in each month of the year.\u00a0 The children got in to a circle and each child had to say one word that collectively made up the memorable rhyme, \u201c30 days has September, April, June and November\u201d\u2026.etc.\u00a0 If the child got their word wrong, they were out.\u00a0 Rory was part of the group of winners!\u00a0 Well remembered Rory!\u00a0 Next week\u2019s maths homework will involve going over this memorable rhyme.<\/p>\n
Alicaj enjoyed gymnastics and reported that her favourite movement was the \u2018bridge\u2019.<\/p>\n
Chahiti has been enjoying our new starter activities in the morning that keep the children productively busy while dinners and daily emotion check-ins take place.\u00a0 The starter activities this week included a choice of 3.\u00a0 1. An activity about our new daily common word, 2. An activity that reinforced learning from our Number Talks, or 3. The daily number challenge.<\/p>\n
Caleb liked this week\u2019s Word Boost story, Black Dog and his favourite word was \u2018demand\u2019.<\/p>\n
My highlight was the discussion P3A had about what our new role-play area could be.\u00a0 We had some super ideas but decided to go with Angel\u2019s idea of creating a West Lothian visitors centre!\u00a0 The children traced maps and are currently working on gathering research that will then feed into leaflets that we will make next week about: transport, hotels, restaurants, famous people, landmarks and the history of West Lothian.\u00a0 The children are very enthusiastic about the visitor\u2019s centre!\u00a0 Their enthusiastic is infectious!\u00a0 Thank you Angel for this great idea!<\/p>\n
Congratulations to Angel, our hot chocolate award winner this week!<\/p>\n
Lead Learners were Diana and Chahiti.\u00a0 They had the important role of looking out for people who were demonstrating our school rules of being Ready, Respectful and Safe.\u00a0 They also get to say something extra for the blog:<\/p>\n
Diana \u2013 \u201cI enjoyed checking everyone was behaving in the cloakroom.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chahiti \u2013 \u201cI liked the story, \u2018Going on a Train\u2019 and answering the questions.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Regards<\/p>\n
