A Wee Week O’ Burns

Leave a comment

Another successful and entertaining week in Ness Class. We had an amazing breakthrough in our Maths learning. The 6 times table is tricky, but we have discovered that making groups of 6 and adding on by 6 each time, gets the correct answer!

In our writing we were learning about Rabbie Burns. We planned a Birthday Party for him on Thursday and even had our own Burn’s Supper as the menu. Dominic and Laura loved the haggis. Shay and Nathan like the Tunnock’s Teacakes and the Irn Bru was a big hit with everyone!

With the weather warning closing the school tomorrow, I will put some little tasks on the Teams page for anyone who wants to access them. Instructions are on the SWAY the school is sending out to all parents and carers on Thursday afternoon!

Stay safe everyone!

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!

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.

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.

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

Leave a comment

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!
