After a bumper Harvest, Ness decided to use the spare apples which were available throughout the school. We explored recipes containing apples and learned how to safely chop and prepare apples for stewing. Well done to everyone who smelled and tasted the cooked apples! We designed a lovely dessert using meringues and custard to have with our stewed apples. Lots of instructions to follow and messy play!
Sparkles abound in Ness today! We researched Fireworks today, especially sparklers and loved the colours! We decided to make our own edible Sparklers with breadsticks, melted chocolate, icing sugar and sprinkles. Delicious!
Well done to all our ‘Guisers’ who dressed up for the Halloween Party on Friday. Lots of dancing, eating and treating!
Lot’s of tired eyes as we bring the first part of our 1st Term to a close. What amazing learning we have had since August and we finished off with a flourish by thinking about Halloween.
Our pupils have the following highlights of our T1 Learning:
We hope you all have a lovely October break, and look forward to seeing everyone back refreshed and happy.
Team Ness
What a brilliant week we had to celebrate all things Maths and STEM on this Scottish Numeracy Week. Linked to our topic, Night and day, our pupils wanted to learn all about torches. We decided to build our own torches from scratch using Circuit materials.
Everyone in Ness has enjoyed coming back to class after our September break. Continuing our focus on Emotional Regulation, we have been learning about the Superhero inside of us- Superflex- who helps us overcome difficult situations. This theme has has informed our writing, with a focus on descriptions of superhero characters. In Maths, we are coming to the end of our Place Value topic- well done everyone for showing your understanding using our Maths working wall. Finally, our main IDL topic ‘Night and Day’ has been inspiring some amazing artwork from our pupils.
What a great first week in Ness Class! Lots of new friends and new adventures. We have really enjoyed getting to know each other this week. We have wasted no time getting back into our routines with fun games, lots of dancing and singing, cooking, building, writing and counting. What a fabby year we are going to have!
Keep an eye out soon for our Term 2 Sway which will be winging it’s way to you all shorty.
Great fun being had during our recent visit to the Sensory Room where some of our class decided to dramatise the story of ‘The 3 Pigs’ using soft building materials. Can you guess who had built their house out of brick?
Let’s just say, after lot’s of huffing and puffing, Miss Purves was very much needing a sit down!
A brilliant day had by all here in Broomlee. After an uneventful bus journey, we set up in our dorms before heading for a tour of the camp. A delicious lunch was a big hit with most of our campers before our afternoon activities-Low Ropes and Crate Climb. Dinner was pasta with cake and custard then we headed into the woods for campfire. Well done to Raeya who won the award for the best campfire singer! Supper and playtime in the grounds ensured a happy end to the day… with hopefully a long nights sleep.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s adventure!
Big well done to Primary 6 today who led their learning in Maths. After some coaching from Mr Elliott, the pupils were more than capable leading the lesson learning the 12 times tables. Many future teachers in this class!
I really enjoyed my time with you today guys! – Mr E
