Picking / ‘Thinning’ Lettuces from our Garden
Rannoch Class were thinning out the lettuces this week – they took some home. Mummies & Daddies have let us know they were tasty! They also had to thin the carrots out, but they have a bit of growing to do yet. We can’t wait for them to grow
While out in the garden the boys also did a bit of litter picking –there’s always litter around to tidy up!
Project/IDL
One of our pupils managed to finish his ‘Space Galaxy’ this week while the rest of the class managed to finish last week. What a great job – well done! The boys love to construct and play with each other.
Language
Some of our pupils were ‘up-levelling’ their sentences this week, adding interesting adjectives to fit in and make sense. They used word banks to help them think of some, but once they got going, they were managing them no bother. Others were learning more about the initial phonic sounds – sorting / matching v, qu, v,w,x,y,z into their own sets of matching initial sounds . This wasn’t easy for some, but with lots of support, it was really enjoyable and a lot of learning went on. We’ll be playing this again next week. This group were also handwriting ‘q’ – well done boys!
Maths
In Maths this week, some of the boys were learning some topical (Space themed) number work to 10, 20, up to 30 in addition and subtraction; also including a Lego counting game, while the others were learning Division (double digits by single, no remainders) and finished their maths working week with a 3x tables game.
Emotion Works
This week, some more fabulous learning was done on Emotion Works- how proud we are of our class! The boys can now identify ‘triggers’ ‘body sensations & Intensity’ ‘behaviours’ and ‘regulation strategies’ for some of the common emotions they experience. It is becoming easier for our boys to recognise their own emotions, and how to deal with them. Lots of work to do yet, but so very proud of how much these boys have managed to deal with this learning which can be very difficult for them from time to time to deal with.
Rannoch Class had a fabby time in the gym hall (gym hall doors open) this week – they did their P.E. lesson copying low level exercises from ‘Minecraft Yoga’ by watching the computer video! How FAB were our boys – brilliant!
Mrs MacDonald and thank you to the team – Mrs Hilson & Miss De for helping to make learning happen in Rannoch Class!
