Tay Class Update

Last week was another busy week in Tay Class.  Here are a some photos of what we’ve been doing…

All of us really enjoyed playing the glockenspiels:

 

 

We have listening to the story and  songs about ‘What the Ladybird Heard’.  We played a game on the Phonics Bloom website where we matched the sound to the correct animal. Below ‘A’ and ‘H’ are matching the pictures of baby animals to the pictures of the adult animal.

‘B’ and ‘L’ have really enjoyed playing the keyboard.  They have been learning to wait and take turns.

 

 

‘Choose Time’…

‘A’ enjoyed modelling with the plasticine. ‘H’ build a super model with the Duplo and ‘A’ enjoyed playing with a new dinosaur that Miss M. kindly brought in for us.

Trim Trail fun…

exploring, balancing, climbing and running!

‘A’ and ‘A’ learning to share resources

Tay Class Health Week Fun

Last week was ‘Health Week’ in school.   The Health Committee worked hard to organise lots of activities so thank you very much to them for this.

Tay Class enjoyed songs and games about healthy food.  We absolutely loved the ‘Smoothie Bike’.  ‘H’ helped chop up some fruit and then most children took turns to add in the fruit and the juice.  Most of us took turn to pedal the bike to make the blender work.  The final result was some delicious healthy smoothie which some of us tried.  ‘A’ really enjoyed his and drank it all.  Great team effort Tay Class!

Tay Class had a very different PE time:  there were sensory stations set up in the hall.  Many of us loved the bubbles and the tent with lights and music.  There was a sensory path to walk over and a foot spa full of orbeez- which ‘L’ especially enjoyed.  We also cleaned the ‘germs’ off the hands and explored the touch and feel tray.

We really enjoyed using the bubble machines in class too.

 

Last week in Tay Class

Last week was another busy week in Tay Class.

Below are some moments we caught on camera.

Sensory room fun!   Some children used the mats to  make a den.

 

Playing games or watching videos on the iPads:

We used the Boomwhackers to play along with the music.

We haven’t used the wooden blocks for a while so ‘A’ and ‘H’ enjoyed  building with these.

‘A’ enjoyed playing with the play dough too.

Outdoor play at the Trim Trail:

Walking on the wavy path.  Great balance and turn-taking!

Tay Class…Our First Week Back

Lovely to see all the children back to school this week and it’s been a busy one. Here are some photos of what we’ve been up to:

‘H’ enjoyed making and saying numbers and addition sums using the magnetic numbers.

‘A’ sorted the numerals from the puzzle into the correct order.

‘L’ especially likes the  illustrations of the play park in this book.

‘A’ and ‘B’ played with the coloured rice and toy food.

‘A’ and ‘H’ enjoyed creating music outside.

We all enjoyed the sunshine whlist climbing and exploring the trim trail.

‘A’ enjoyed sorting magnetic numbers and making and reading numbers too.

‘L’ played with the treaure chest and liked putting different toys inside.

‘C’ has been very interested in the visual timetable this week.

Some of the class enjoyed making salt dough.  Pouring, mixing and kneading.  Look at those faces… so focussed!

   

The children made collage spring flowers for our window then ‘H’ helped Miss M. to paint stalks for our flowers and butterflies too.  Fantastic!

Here are a few photos of some of the tasks at the teaching table this week.  ‘C’ and ‘B’ did well on the matching tasks.  ‘A’ and ‘A’ used their fine motor skills to carefully complete the letter ‘h’ with a dabber. They also focused well whilst overwriting the letter h and their name too.

A few photos from ‘Choose Time’…

   

‘A’ has enjoyed creating Numberblocks using plasticine or play dough.

What a busy week it has been!

Finally, here a few more photos of the children playing  at the trim trail.  Not so sunny this time but that didn’t stop us.  Lots of exploring, climbing, balancing and challenging themselves!

‘B’ loved pulling the chimes back, letting them go and listening to the sounds they made as they bumped together.
