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.
Primary 3 would like to thank everyone that attended the nativity today and I’m sure you will all agree that the children did very well and we are all very proud of them. We will post the photos on to their Seesaw pages.
We have had a lovely festive week in Rannoch class…We have enjoyed making festive baubles with our photo on them and we are looking forward to taking them home!
We have also enjoyed some time outside in the crisp air and time in the Sensory Room.
We have also continued with our studies of initial sounds and revised our understanding of 3-D shapes.
We have also enjoyed listening to Christmas music and songs as the festive season gets underway.
The class listened to a story called ‘Leaf Man’ by Lois Ehlert. We then created some people of our own using leaves.
Well, we’ve almost arrived in Bethlehem after many rehearsals and we are looking forward to seeing you there this week. We have been so busy, completing all our Literacy tasks including RWI reading groups and writing information reports about Santa Claus. We saw a fantastic new movie on Wednesday and ran a whole mile on Friday!
Its amazing how Ness Class can lead their own learning! Stumbling upon an article during our Afternoon Group, the pupils were keen to learn about Fondue- what is it and where did it originate. We used our Floorbook to plan and organise our very own Fondue tasting session.
As you can see from the pictures, we found it…
‘interesting’ -Lochlan
‘super crunchy tasty’- Dominic
‘lots of tasty bites’- Laura
‘I put sprinkles on my fondue’- Hunter
‘I like the orange’- Shay
‘Thumbs Up’ – Nathan.
We were lucky to have our P7 Prefects in to help us with our tasting session- we found they enjoyed the event too!
We’ve continued to learn about money, time and shape. This week we’ve been learning about repeating patterns. We listened to/watched songs about patterns and H enjoyed dancing along to one of them too. We also did some pattern activities on the iPads. We’ve continued to practice our phonics through songs and activities. We’ve practiced our listening skills through activities on the iPads. We’ve listened to stories and explored the books in class. Some of us came to school in pyjamas today to celebrate world book day.
We’ve enjoyed time outdoors in the playground, field, outdoor class and the trim trail. It’s been very chilly this week so many of us were delighted at the contents of ‘What’s in the box?’ yesterday: hot chocolate, marshmallows and cream! We mixed up our own. Two of the class drank/ate all three things. Some of us just liked the cream and marshmallows.
We’ve celebrated several birthdays in class too. ‘A’ has been singing ‘Happy Birthday’ regularly over the past two months so he was very excited to celebrate his own birthday and hear people singing to him. His big smile says it all!
Tay class did some process art inspired by photos, songs and videos of Autumn. We explored the colours: mixing different colours both on the palette and on the paper.
We continued our ‘All about Me’ topic. We watched and listened to songs about bones and created skeleton pictures with different types of pasta. ‘Dem bones, dem bones dem dry bones…’.
We listened to the colour monster story and sorted some different pictures into groups: sad, happy or angry.
Climbing, balancing and sharing space with our friends in PE today.
H and M enjoyed dancing to the number song today. ‘Let’s count forwards and count backwards. Move and have some fun!’
A made number block 20 with plasticine.
Exploring our new coloured slime… thanks to Mrs H. for giving us this. There are lots of colours.
