We welcome you to the world of SuperTay!…We have been super heroes this week…
We have kept progressing with our number and word knowledge and have also had so much fun engaging with Health Week!
Smoothie bike – Fab! and Fruity!
Trim Trail – We climbed and played together and we’re fitter!
Music Gym – We loved all the sensory experiences!
Silent disco – Fabulous fun!
We have enjoyed our lunches this week…We love fish!! Yum!
We have also experienced a range of colours and sounds in the Sensory Room, and have enjoyed the new sensory aroma box too!
Our numeracy work has also come on a pace, and we have also practiced building stacking towers.
Our sound of the week has been learning about the different sounds of the hard and soft ‘g’ . We loved the funny song about goats and giraffes!
We have also developed our relations with our peers in the other ERB classes during our shared playtime outside.
We’ve improved our fitness and balance too in P.E. and have enjoyed lots of sensory play with water and bubbles….lots of bubbles!
A different week this week with a Monday holiday, a Thursday inservice day and two children on holiday.
We continued with our learning in literacy, maths/numeracy and art. Great waiting and listening skills displayed during our ‘What’s in the box?’ session.
Some of the class enjoyed some numeracy learning games on our new Promethean Board this week too.
Well!….Despite having a couple less days in school this week, we have still managed to pack a lot in!
We have loved our time in the Sensory Room and with the drier weather have taken our Sensory learning experiences outside with our tuff tray. In class we experimented with mixing different colours of sand. We have also loved experiencing the squeeze sock!
In class we have continued to work on our pencil grips, number bonds, shape recognition.
Another busy, busy, week…and we’re already looking forward to Monday!
Lomond class enjoyed the sunshine last week – whilst developing balancing and climbing skills at the Trim Trail.
Learning in literacy and maths continued- some of us enjoyed online activities on our new Promeathean board.
We had fun in PE with Mrs M. A few of us focused well on learning basket ball skills with help from the PE student teachers.
Yesterday we did some printing with paint to create our ladybird inspired pictures.
In a sun drenched week we have enjoyed sensory exploration with coloured sand…we loved the feel!!
We have also been to the park where we climbed, swung and slid! We have also enjoyed time on the Trim Trail too!
In class we have built towers, designed peg board patterns and explored shapes and number bonds. We are also moving on apace with our Literacy skills and are starting to look at middle sounds as well as initial sounds.
We have had a lovely busy, busy, week!
We couldn’t ask for better weather this Camp. Fun in the sun!
Question of the day: If you could travel forward in time- what question would you ask yourself? (very philosophical bunch)
Both groups enjoyed cereal and waffles for breakfast before heading into the sun. Both groups experienced Leap Of Faith- and everyone had amazing success. Big shout out to everyone who overcame their fears. Some of us enjoyed Archery, Bushcraft and Problem Solving. Camp fire with singing and marshmallows brought our day to a close. Of course, last night at camp had to involve a wee ‘party’ where lots of the treats people had stored were shared to music and dancing! Leo and Zak in particular enjoyed Michael Jackson!
Tomorrow is another exciting day. We will be leaving Broomlee at 1:30pm with lots of memories and smiles.
Pervious picture posts have not had all the pictures we intended due to an IT issue= we apologise and hope the pictures below all load up!
See you tomorrow.
Question of the day… who doesn’t love mac and cheese with garlic bread?
Good News!! Everyone slept very well- no issues reported and the first night was just amazing!
An early start after a hearty breakfast- the day started cold and cloudy but moods were bright and happy. Morning activities were Cat-Walk and Problem Solving. Many of our young people challenged themselves today, especially overcoming heights and team challenges. The crate climb record was broken today- an amazing height of 11 crates carefully and strategically placed to help the teams succeed. Catwalk was an amazing experience where all our young people climbed high, and managed The Macarena dance at some point during the descent! Problem solving tested our resilience, whilst Nightline helped hone our communication. Environmental Studies taught us about improving our natural surroundings. At this moment, we are running around camp looking for clues to answer questions- hide and seek General Knowledge style.
In spite of tired legs and heavy eyes, our amazing bunch of campers just keep going.
Enjoy the pictures.
Good evening from a sunny and busy Broomlee Outdoor Centre. What a busy start to our P7 Camp. After an uneventful bus journey, we were welcomed by Dylan, our Supervising Tutor. Fire regulation talks then room organising (special mention to Michael and JJ who made their beds very quickly) was followed by our 1st Group Activity. Group 1 were raft building and group 2 were high in the trees doing the Cat Walk. Lots of challenges and working together but we were resilient and helped each other succeed. The Raft Group 1 built was christened ‘The SS Mary’. She didn’t sink- this time!
Lunch and dinner was a highlight for many of the pupils- no-one went hungry.
After dinner we competed in Broomlee Highland Games- where the girls won courtesy of their superior technique during the Tug Of War!
Having enjoyed supper of hot chocolate and biscuits, we are all having an extended play before bed and lights out. Lots of tired eyes! Enjoy the pictures below. Can you spot the Cats and the Sailors?
We have had a lovely, lovely, week together.
With the warming late Spring sun we are taking on a pace with our learning in Tay Class.
We have engaged with so many wonderful elements of engagement and learning, Climbing. Drawing. Building. Running. Dancing. Spinning. Molding. Crafting, Listening. Feeling. Touching. Engaging.
All in all, a fabulous week in TheLifeOfTay!
