Tay Class St. Mary’s Primary Enhanced Resource Base

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!

 

 

 

Welcome to 2025… Ness off a good start!

Happy New Year from Ness Class. And what a start to 2025. Our budding entrepreneurs decided they would like to create their own McDonalds at cooking time today. Lots of processes to go through but the production line worked well. Fries, burgers (cheese and plain) and nuggets were offered. Inspired by the cartoon Sponge Bob, Dominic named our restaurant the Crispy Ness!

Enjoy our pictures!

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.

Rannoch News

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.

P2 News!!!

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!

Responsive Planning leads to Tasty Creations in Ness

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!

 

Tay Class News (St. Mary’s Primary ERB)

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!
