Ness, Whole School Events

Halloween has arrived in Ness Class

Leave a comment

What a spooky week in Ness. Our class indicated they wanted to learn about Pumpkins this week and made this a big part of our learning.

Did you know that pumpkin flesh is used to make a delicious pie? It is a very common treat in America!

 

 

Also, did you know the old Celtic practice of carving faces into vegetables to ward off evil spirits spread to the United States with Irish immigrants in the 19th century — and soon jack-o’-lanterns were an iconic part of Halloween celebrations.

We found out, carving pumpkins is very hard work.

But we got there in the end.

By Friday, we were all dressed up and ready for the Halloween Party.

And at the party, we had great fun with our Mainstream friends. A big congratulations to Alex, who won the ‘Best Costume’ for the P5s.

Welcome back!

We are rested. We are ready!

Back with our friends we have had a lovely couple of days.

We have reignited our reading skills and our number work. Our letter formation is a thing of wonder and our Halloween art…quite majestic!

With only 1 day to the weekend it’s like we’ve never been away!

Rannoch Class have been learning about nocturnal animals. We’ve developed our motor skills through a variety of activities such as collage hedgehogs, hedgehog models and collage ‘owl babies’,  Mrs Ferguson has helped us to develop our skills too through making model foxes and bats. Several of us really liked the nocturnal animals song and the ‘Owl Babies’ book.

In food technology, we especially enjoyed making then eating our pitta bread pizzas.

We explored some ‘ghosts’ during ‘what’s in the box?’ We are learning to wait our turn then pass the object to a friend once we’ve had our turn.

We continue to try hard in our literacy and maths learning.  Mrs McMaster continues to help us develop lots of skills and fitness during our PE sessions which we love.  Our daily ‘Danny Go’ sessions are keeping us active too – we tried a new one this week ‘The bat wing Beat’ which was fun!

Thanks to A’s family for sending in some delicious cupcakes to celebrate A’s upcoming birthday.

We hope everyone has a lovely October break!

Well…welcome!

We started this half-term with sunscreen on, and we finish it with puddles suits and wellies firmly attached!

It’s been brilliant – and thank you for following us! We have loved our Autumnal painting this week, and bubble fun in the fresh air…and we’ve fed dinosaurs!

We have also been working on our awareness of symmetry, and 2D shapes.

Busy, busy!

We wish you all a lovely October break, and we’ll be back soon with more Tay-tales!

Happy Thursday everyone!

It’s a bit chilly out but we are fully charged Taycells (other battery products are available!) enjoying every crisp moment…we like crisps…and crisp mornings.

Busy, busy…

P.E. – Even more popular than crisps. We love running, jumping and balancing.

Architects in the making…Through intensive interactions we have practiced our knowledge of symmetry and balance in our constructions. Good job done!

Sensory….We made our own slime pool…such fun!…and then quite a challenge to be free of!

Welcome back! A short week in the world of SuperTay – but what a busy one!

Some of us have begun reading books in the course of our Literacy classes and have powered on with our blending of sounds to build our skillsbase!

In our Numeracy and Beyond Number work we are learning to recognise 2D shapes and how to build number bonds with Numicon.

With the start of Autumn, we have also broken open our wellies and  suitably suited and booted have splish-splashed our way through our time outside.

We have made jellyfish in our Art & Craft lesson and eaten lots of jelly at lunch time…We love lunch time! We have also played with slimy pasta and jelly…a new combination!

September weekend is ahead of us! We can’t quite believe it!

And what a week we have had! We have built with blocks, play sand and magnetic sand.

We have also worked on our CVC blending and our Numicon number bonds.

In our Art & Craft work we have worked so hard on images relating to our topic and have finished our corridor display. We think it looks lovely!

We’ll aim to bring your more pictures of our Literacy and Numeracy learning after the break! We’ve just been so busy!

We wish you all a lovely long weekend and we’ll see you on the other side!

Rannoch Class Update

We’ve been very active and have been developing lots of skills over the past couple of weeks.  There’s been lots of climbing, jumping, balancing, cycling, scootering and building.  We’ve especially enjoyed PE with Mrs McMaster and ‘Danny Go’ time in class has been fun!

We’re continuing to learn about day and night through songs and activities. Mrs Ferguson is helping us develop our art and fine motor skills through the theme of Autumn.
