In light of current climate, the School Improvement Plan parental feedback sessions scheduled for Thursday 19th March (6.30-7.30 pm) and Friday 20th March (10.30 – 11.30 am) have been cancelled.
Thank you so much to everyone who volunteered to come into school and help with the cataloguing of our school library on Wednesday. However, given the current climate we have taken the decision to postpone this for the time being.
These are some of the activities Class 10 have taken part in recently. We have enjoyed listening to the guitar-playing of one of our teachers, and having the opportunity to get up close when an instrument is being played, and to touch and to explore as well as listen to it.
We have enjoyed a brief spell of sunshine in the afternoon now that the weather is beginning to improve and have puddled with our feet in paint, looking at the marks we have made. We really enjoyed that. It was messy and squishy.
We have enjoyed pouring between tins and pots and learning about ‘empty’ and ‘full’ in our maths lessons.
We are doing well at snack times, requesting our food nicely and showing our lovely manners. We all enjoy each other’s company in class 10 and particularly enjoy our sociable activities.
Many thanks to Amanda, Salvi, Sam and Scott for organising fun activities for us all to join in with to support Sport Relief 2020. We kicked off the morning with a select band signing up to Run a Mile. Thanks to Room 19 for braving the cold throughout our challenge, the spectators that cheered us on from the warmth of the classrooms and those that came out for playtime, supporting with cheers as we ran our loops. Each of us did 5 loops of the playground in total.
At lunchtime we enjoyed dance sessions with Sam. We all had lots of fun!
Finally, the whole school joined in for the afternoon to Walk a Mile with a Smile. We were grateful that the sun came out and warmed up the playground nicely for us. We also had some special visitors – the sumos!
Our day was just for fun, but we also received generous donations towards Sport Relief, raising a total of £165! Well done to everyone for taking part!
On Tuesday some of the students from our class went to have their first look around the Art Gallery.
There were lots of interesting things on show but they were most interested in the exhibit of the glass case containing cobras!
They also had a snack at the café and were a credit to the school.
Pupils in Room 17 have been working very hard on their ASDAN courses. One course required us to explore a range of food textures through touch. We tried a variety of different textures, including: rough, grainy, hard, sticky and runny. Interestingly, no one enjoyed the texture of sticky, and only one person liked the runny texture!
Everyone did really well to touch the textures and communicate how they felt about them.
On Wednesday all the boys in room 5, were invited to a picnic in Duthie Park. The picnic was hosted by the class bear Bucky! Bucky has been going home with the boys at the weekend to meet their family and have adventures with them. To say thank you he decided to host a picnic were all the boys could bring their favourite stuffed toys (even the staff brought theirs). Bucky and the boys all had an amazing time eating lots of different food and getting to meet their friend’s teddies. Bucky Bear had the best time ever as he loves getting to meet new people and go and lots of different adventures! He will remember this picnic forever and can’t wait to plan another one!
Are you able to help?
We have recently purchased a new electronic library system and we are looking for volunteers to help us catalogue our school library next Wednesday (18th March). Cataloguing will be happening at the school between 9am and 3.30pm but even if you can only spare an hour it would be greatly appreciated.
If you are able to donate some of your time, please contact Amy Dunnett (Principal Teacher Primary) on 01224 788950.
In addition to weekly H.E. lessons, we have been working on preparing healthy snacks and meals in class. We have been using small appliances as well as developing our cutting skills.
