Orchard Brae Advent Calendar: Day 4
We hope that you enjoy today’s special advent treat.
Today the pupils and staff from Room 9 take part in some synchronised reminiscing of the summer Olympic Games in Tokyo. Thanks to one of our Secondary pupils for his commentary and keep a close eye out for some familiar judges!
Room 9 have been very busy this term exploring movement as part of their thematic work. Through their play they have been discovering the ways in which objects and toys move and learning about forces and their effects. As you can see, they had great fun investigating forces and their effects first hand and finding out the different ways they could make their bodies move at a recent visit to the park.
Yesterday we held a P7-S1 Transition Meeting for parents. If you were unable to attend and wish to view the information please see the slides below:

The pupils in Room 9 have been very busy investigating their new topic theme, transport. Transport is a fantastic topic to explore as it’s something that we all use in our everyday lives as we travel from A to B.
As you can see the pupils had lots of fun creating different track layouts and exploring how the toy vehicles moved around the track.
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.

For Day 14, Room 9 are delighted to share the ‘Turkey Dance’ with you, complete with turkey costumes they made themselves!
Room 9 have been having lots of fun exploring St Andrew’s Day through a range of activities. Here they are actively engaging with colour and matching shapes on the flag.
The pupils in Room 9 all enjoy taking part in mark making activities, in fact, the messier the better!
Last week, everyone participated actively in some Firework Fun by creating their own firework pictures.
The pupils and staff in Room 9 have been very busy exploring and getting familiar with our local area. This has been great fun and we have found a wonderful new play area!
