We have welcomed each other back after the long weekend. We have enjoyed lunches together and building our names.
We have also practiced building on our skills of cup stacking and working together.
A lovely week in the Autumnal sun.

We have had another wonderful week in Tay.
We have focused our Literacy learning on the initial sound ‘b’ in our songs and practiced our fine motor skills in dabbing safari animal spots! We have also enjoyed working on the lightboards…
In our Number work we have counted our fingers and our toes…focusing on 1-5 and 1-10! Great fun!
During our Morning Group we have broadened our learning journey relating to ‘Days of the Week’ to include the ‘Seasons’ as Autumn has truly arrived!
…And we have continued to enjoy sensory time outside and construction challenges inside!
Taylor is going to his fourth family this weekend…He has had a wonderful time on tour, and we have all enjoyed learning about his adventures. #TayonTour #TeamTayTaylor
Busy, busy!
We wish you all a lovely September long weekend and we look forward to sharing the next part of our journey together when we come back on Tuesday.

What a beautiful week we have had! We have enjoyed the Autumn sun and time with our friends. We loved our water play time and have enjoyed the sand pit in the Outdoor Classroom too!
In class we have been taking a closer look at the initial sound ‘a’ and associated words and pictures. We have enjoyed using the lightboards to learn how to form the letter.
We have also loved playing with our new interactive alphabet sound mat! Great fun….It has a keyboard to too help us with our Music studies!
In our number work we have loved listening to songs involving counting to ten and learning how to sequence the numbers ourselves!
We have also loved sensory play…with flour, rice and pasta!! Such fun making messy memories.
Taylor – our class mascot – continues his weekend holidays this weekend and we look forward to his news of his adventures on Monday morning!

From next week, we look forward to bringing you news of the travels of Taylor our class mascot. He will be journeying beyond the school to see what the members of Tay class get up to!
This week has been lovely! It has been our first full week as members of Tay. We have enjoyed playing on our musical instruments, navigating the Trim Trail and enjoying lots of sand play in the Outdoor Classroom! We have also enjoyed trying out our class spinning chairs and looking at our books in our class library.
Tay News!
We have enjoyed a lovely first few days together as the Tay Class of 2025-2026.
We have already enjoyed many new experiences with each other and look forward to many, many, more as our year unfolds…We hope that you can join us along the way!
Tay Class Update
Prior to the February holiday Tay Class made bird feeders using apple slices. peanut butter and bird seed. They’re super quick and easy to make – why don’t you have a try? We hung ours around the Trim Trail so we could observe them and see how quickly the birds eat them.
As a treat and to end our ‘Hot and Cold’ science topic we had some ice cream cones. They were delicious! We chose from either vanilla, strawberry or chocolate. We are planning to do a pictogram to show our favourite flavours across the class, however some of the class were absent which means we will need to have more ice-cream another day. Will our choices will be the same next time?
It was great to have everyone back in class last week after the break. We quickly settled back into our routines.
We met some friends and adults from other classes in our Sensory Committee, out at the Trim Trail. There were balloons, ice, paint blocks, brushes, spray bottles with watery paint and paper. Many of us enjoyed exploring these resources.
There was a huge cardboard box in the outdoor classroom. One of our favourite activities ‘What’s in the box?’ changed to ‘who’s in the box?’ Everyone had a turn in the box. Some of us had lots of turns. It was great fun!- We did so well to take turns and share (a very small) space.

What a difference a week can make… Tay Class had time playing outdoors on the grass now all the snow has melted.
We had a visit to the trim trail with Rannoch Class which we really enjoyed especially as we haven’t been there for a while. AE and AH loved playing in the big puddle and did really well taking turns with one another.
We listened to and watched songs about ‘Hot and Cold’ and did a few follow-up activities. We’ll continue this topic next week.
Our favourite stories this week were ‘Arnie and the Donut’ and ‘The Three Little Pigs’.
Mrs McMaster had the big climbing frame and ladder out for us at PE. We did so well balancing, climbing and challenging ourselves on this. Fantastic Tay Class!

Everyone quickly settled back into our school routines this week after the Christmas holidays.
There was lots of snow to explore in the big school field! Sledging was lots of fun. The children used their communication and turn-taking skills. They showed great determination too! Well done Tay Class.
Tay Class (St. Mary’s PS ERB)
Tay class had a great time today at the Christmas party. We all enjoyed some delicious ice cream and other treats when we got back to class.
Last week we continued with our literacy and numeracy learning. We enjoyed PE with Mrs McMaster – especially the big climbing frame and ladder. We made some Christmas cards…so look out Mums and Dads for these coming home in our bags this week.
Below are photos of some us engaged in play during ‘Choose Time’ last week.
