The boys in room 13 have been working on their food preparation skills, making cheese and tomato pizza’s. They practiced their spreading skills and both made tasty pizzas. It was very difficult to not have a wee taste of the cheese before the pizzas were cooked.

Room 7 Celebrate Burns Night

  By , , ,

Room 7 have been busy getting into the Scottish spirit in preparation for Burns Night on Friday.  We coloured in our own tartan and designed our own unique tartan using the House of Tartan Website on the interactive board (www.houseoftartan.co.uk).  We listened to The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson in Scots and enjoyed listening to some of Robert Burns poems as well a variety of Scottish music from groups such as the Corries and the Proclaimers!  We can’t wait for our class Burns Supper on Friday afternoon.

 

Exploring ice and snow in Room 2!

  By , ,

We had a surprise on Thursday morning when we woke up and found snow.  After long bus journeys to get to school, we brought some snow into the classroom so we could explore it during our weather time at Circle Time.  Some of us were not too sure about how cold it was but others were very keen to explore it with both our hands and mouths!  On Friday there was no fresh snow but it was very frosty and icy outside so we explored ice cubes.  It was great fun chasing them around our trays as we tried to pick them up and they kept sliding away!  Matthew and Harris explored snowy scenes and sounds using the Grid Pad and Eye Gaze.  Unfortunately it was super cold and very slidey outside so we couldn’t get outside to explore the snow this time but hopefully some of us will the next time it happens!
