Orchard Brae Advent Calendar: Day 2

Welcome back to the Orchard Brae Advent Calendar. We hoped that you enjoyed our first instalment yesterday and today we have another festive treat for you.

For Day 2, pupils and staff from Room 10 have been very busy getting creative through their artwork!

Room 10 Make Their Mark

  By , ,

Room 10 have been enjoying ‘Making their marks’ in class and are getting better and more independent in it each time. Lots of dexterity is being used and fine motor skills are being developed as the children hold brushes and pencils, and they are making personal colour choices too. We are experiencing the sensation of writing our names with lots of support, and beginning to understand what our names ‘feel’ like. 

Fun In The Sun With Room 10

  By ,

Room 10 have enjoyed participating in a range of activities over the term. We’ve been orienteering around the playground with Scott, as well as discovering about how to care for plants. And finally, we can play in the sun, where we were sitting beneath the playground trees making our very own forest. Sometimes though, it’s just good to explore and play in the sand!

Orchard Brae Advent Calendar: Days 7 and 8

We hope that you are enjoying the Orchard Brae Advent Calendar and that today’s festive features get you into the spirit for a fun filled Christmas.

For Day 7, Room 13 have been busy playing around with technology and managed to create a wonderful ‘Elf Yourself’.

For Day 8, Room 10 are delighted to share their WOW moments from class in a very festive way.

Exploring Maths In Room 10

  By , ,

Room 10 have been busy investigating measurement using different materials.

We used connecting blocks and joined them together to see who make the tallest group of blocks and worked collaboratively to create the longest group.

We also took maths out into the playground, measuring the length of lines using leaves and other materials and comparing our heights to the width of the path. There was also an impromptu lesson on volume and capacity as we watched the dumper truck put a tonne of sand into our sandpit!

What Have Room 10 Been Making?

  By , ,

Outdoor Learning: We took a walk around the school grounds and collected items as the children saw them.  We came back to class to make ‘Natural Things’ panels, which you can see us making in the photographs.  We will use these panels to decorate our outdoor area.

Making instruments in Science and Music: We are making our own xylophones, one of which can go outside as it has been made from drainpipes.  We have rolled and used Sellotape, we have tapped to hear the different sounds we could make with our rolls.  We have used string to make knots. We are going to use some of our own instruments in class music and see what difference size and volume can make to notes and pitch.#

Welcome To Room 10

  By ,

The children in Class 10 are settling in after their long break.  There are lots of new people in the room for us all to get to know and so we are taking things easy and doing some relaxing activities. We have done some big painting onto boards and windows.  We have done some very friendly activities, such as playing games and taking turns.
