Orchard Brae Advent Calendar: Day 3
Welcome back to the Orchard Brae Advent Calendar.
For Day 3, Room 4 invite you to join their Christmas party. Get your party clothes on and enjoy some festive fun!
Last week it was Maths Week across Scotland. We asked classes to share work that they had been doing in Maths and Numeracy. Thank you to our Primary colleagues for sharing some of the lovely learning they engaged in.
Room 3 shared some of the work they’re doing across the curriculum, linking maths to early literacy skills and daily routine: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1JTPDvjQdOriDlqpK9OhsCArSnjucNP8rArHW6wRXDxc/edit?usp=sharing
Room 4 are exploring colour through their interdisciplinary learning.
One of our pupils in Room 6 is working on number recognition and counting.
Room 4 have had a busy start to the new term.
We have been having lots of fun learning through play and this has helped us introduce our new topic by exploring different means of transport through art, songs and sensory play! We have made drawings using cars and trucks of various sizes!
We are also exploring the outdoors and taking advantage of the good weather!
We enjoyed making some ladybug crackers and smelling and touching all the ingredients we used!
One of our classmates had his birthday! We celebrated with him and did some festive games, like individually wrapped pass the parcels!
We have big news this week! Tomorrow (Wednesday) we will have a LIVE PE lesson. To join us all you need to do is to check the ‘PE at Home’ class on Wednesday at 2 pm and there will be a link for the ‘Meet’.
You will need: comfy clothes and a willingness to have fun!
Amanda and Salvi look forward to seeing you!
The PE at home classroom on Google is updated weekly and the team are doing a great job in providing a range of activities to suit pupils of all abilities. These include Dance, Boccia, Orienteering, Scavenger Hunts (this week’s is a lovely sensory, texture hunt) and our regular PE with Salvi and Amanda, ably supported by our own Young Leaders in school.
Please ask your child’s class teacher for a link if you are not in the PE at Home classroom.
