Lomond Class Update

The class did some lovely daffodil inspired paintings and collage recently.  Many enjoyed mixing paint colours again.  This art work is proudly displayed on our Spring wall.  We also made some Easter cards outdoors with Miss Nelson – they’ll be going home soon.

Our book of the week was ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’.  Several of the children chose to look at/read this book in their own time and one even re-enacted some of the story out in the field.  Fantastic!

We had a very active time in PE again with Mrs McMaster and enjoyed the Spring sunshine on Thursday in the kick pitch and field.

Have a lovely weekend.

Our book of the week was Little Red Riding Hood. We’ll continue some activities related to this next week.

We’ve made the most of some lovely weather – playing in the field and the kick pitch.  Several children explored their shadows on the kick pitch fence.

In class, some children played with the dienes materials again, creating different amounts.  The 3d shapes were popular with most children exploring them during free- play (choose time).  We’ve had some time to develop our understanding of patterns and this will continue next week.  We continue to develop our literacy skills at our own individual levels.

Mrs McMaster prepared a variety of equipment again for our PE sessions- we explored this equipment and developed our skills.

Some process art involved printing with foil and mixing paint colours. This led to some messy, sensory hand mixing and printing by some of the children.

The class enjoyed play time in the ‘Shed’.  Several of the children are developing their skills on the scooter- becoming more confident each time.

It was lovely to have everyone back in class after the February holiday.  We’ve continued our learning in Literacy and Numeracy, enjoyed the winter sunshine in the field and had fun in the new ‘play shed’.  Several of us played with the playmobil swimming pool throughout the week. Some of us explored different resources such as pasta and glitter in the sensory area. Some also explored mixing paint in some process art using balloons and enjoyed looking closely at the colours as they mixed. As usual, we had a great time in PE with Mrs McMaster.

It was lovely that every one of us had a parent or both parents in our class for our recent ‘Sharing the Learning’ event.  Thank you again to our parents for coming along.

Some highlights of the past couple of weeks:

We have been exploring with paint and used our motor skills to make some hedgehogs which we’ve added to our Autumn display.

We’ve also been using our motor skills to ‘rescue the toys’ and we’ve practised our cutting skills too.

Most of us enjoyed some sensory play with water and bath salts / bath bombs.

We decorated some biscuits – using our knives to spread the icing then adding some sprinkles.

’L’ has been enjoying doing some new jigsaws.  ‘A’ and ‘A’ continue to enjoy building with cubes.

Primary 4 had a wonderful day celebrating World Book Day!  What a brilliant day!  Some photos of us in action…

HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY – Keep reading!

 

SHARING THE LEARNING

On Friday, we enjoyed having our parents and carers in class to share our learning.  Following our activities on World Book Day yesterday, we decided to do some reading with our parents today.  So, we brought in our favourite books from home and enjoyed reading with our parents.  We then completed a book review detailing our thoughts on the book (or chapter) that we read.  We then designed posters for our class library and chose some book related activities.

Bonnie – I designed a character from my favourite book and my dad helped me.

Jessica – I read a chapter from my Harry Potter book and did my book review.

Hudson – I sat in the library with my mum and we read three books!  I loved it and I love reading!

Bella – I like brining my favourite book from home but I only read a chapter as it had loads of pages.  I’ve got loads of books at home and I liked reading with my mum.

Stella – I liked reading then doing my book review.  I gave my book 5 stars because it’s so good.

Jacob – After reading, I designed a character costume.

Damon – I loved reading “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” with my mum and it’s my favourite book because it’s so funny.

Jaxon – I liked when my mum came in and we read my story together.

Ellie – I did a reading word-search with my sister and found all the words.  I read a chapter of my book to Jodie.

Karlie – I brought in my favourite Harry Potter book.  It’s so special and the pictures in it are so pretty and it makes me want to read it even more.

THANK YOU very much to all the parents and carers for coming along on Friday.  Your support is always much appreciated and it’s fantastic for all of  the children to share their learning with you.
