Room 1 are working hard...

Today Room 1 have been doing independent work. We have been working hard doing activities at our desks all by ourselves! 

We are so proud of our hard work!

 

 Jack is making a chain with lots of different colours.

Tiano is doing a great job at threading.

Dejna has finished her threading and is enjoying showing off her good work!

Pancake Day or Fat Tuesday

Room 5 have been busy learning about Pancake Day or Fat Tuesday. Pancake Day is the day before Lent.


We learned that in other countries like Brazil they don't eat pancakes but they celebrate Mardis Gras of Fat Tuesday. They wear costumes and masks.

Waiting for the pancakes!

Our Mardis Gras masks!

Partnership at Kirkriggs

The children and staff of Kirkriggs School would like to send huge thanks to two very kind businesses who have helped us greatly this session.


Our first big THANK YOU goes to The Croft Bar who very kindly donated £200 to our school. This was a massive gesture and we are very grateful for your support.  Here is a picture of Aiyla handing over our thank you card to Jacqueline from The Croft.

Our next big THANK YOU goes to Avant homes for helping us to display our Eco Flag in our school grounds. Avant not only agreed to supply us with a flag pole but they installed it too! But before we could even get a card out to the ladies and gents there, they have very kindly agreed to supply us with another flag pole and install that too, at the other side of our gate!

Room 5 are mixing things up!

Room 5 have had a busy week. We have been making new drinks just like George made a new medicine for his Grandma.

We mixed up sprite, coke, limeade, orangeade and berryade.

Room 1 - Learning is Fun

                 This week Room 1 did some painting with brushes and our hands.

It was very messy so we played with the water tray to clean our hands. We had lots of fun with the bubbles and we made the toys spin and splash in the water.

Room 7 Working Together-Learning Together

Working Together-Learning Together

The importance of working as a team!

We were building Paper Towers!

James was a good leader

Saeed and Emily were working together

Aaryn put a toy dog on his group's tower!

Darrel, Aaryn and Kulatein worked well together

The Towers had to be taller than everyone in the group

James was very careful

Emily and Saeed finished theirs

James and Sean were a very cooperative team!

The Children were learning the importance of cooperation and teamwork. They learned to allocate roles and do what they are best at. Some children were good team leaders and some were happy to be part of the team. They reported back on what they had done and all said that working together is more fun than doing things on their own. Well done everyone!

Room 1 Circuits

We have been practising our circuits each week and we are doing really well!

First we have to crawl along the bench.

Then we roll across the big mat.

Next we hop across the coloured spots.

After this we roll back and forwards over the ball.

Our favourite part is jumping on the trampoline at the end!
