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.
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.
Another busy week in Lomond Class.
Food technology- we made pitta bread pizzas again – this is definitely one of our favourite food activities!
We continued working on our learning in literacy and maths.
Outdoors we had fun in the Trim Trail, field and kick pitch.
Continuing our Spring art theme we made some lovely blossom tree pictures by printing. We also explored wax resist painting to make some Easter egg art.
We hope everyone has a great Easter holiday!
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.
Another quick week in Lomond class…
The coloured rice was definitely a favourite sensory activity. All of the class enjoyed ‘What’s in the Box?’ – inside the box were some shiny cheerleader pom poms. Everyone enjoyed looking at them and shaking them. The children did good waiting, good looking and passed the Pom poms on when they’d had their turn. Well done again to everyone!
At outdoor learning with Miss Nelson this week the children explored play dough. Last week the children explored the seeds in different fruits and then planted the seeds.
The class enjoyed the winter sunshine this week in both the kick pitch and the field. They enjoyed PE as always with Mrs McMaster.
It was lovely to see everyone back after the Christmas holidays. It’s been a busy few weeks… We’ve welcomed our new pupil to our class as well as our new APSW Miss Savage. They’re both settling in so well.
Below are a few recent photos and also some from before Christmas including when Santa visited our classroom!
It was ‘A’s’ Birthday! We celebrated with some treats. Thank you again to A’s parents for sending in this delicious cake for us all to share.
