The boys worked very hard with Mrs Waugh today. They watched a short film and had to re-tell the story without any words! The success criteria was for someone to figure out the story and the correct order. Can you guess what the story is?
Handwriting can be relaxing or it can be something that children find challenging. The boys were very confused this morning when our handwriting had no pens or pencils – instead we practised getting our hands ready for writing, with sand, playdough and paper scrunching and tearing. The boys also got to write in big letters on the promethean board.
Our calm book area has a lovely new set of Roald Dahl books thanks to Mrs Glen. Mrs Glen and Mr McCabe read these books with the children at snack time, and I think they both enjoy this as much as the pupils!

In the small group this morning we chose Knex and built animals. We built a snake, a dinosaur, a butterfly and mousy. We used the cards for some and our imagination for others.
We hope that you like our pictures and that they will give you inspiration!
Mr McCabe, Mrs Sutherland and the team!
Who knew how many different skills are needed for den building?
The children learn about teamwork. sharing, vocabulary building, problem solving, risk assessment, time management, listening for instructions and finding resources …… possibly more!
Teddy loves den building as he gets his own harness to swing through the trees. We hope that you enjoy these pictures.
