Room 3 - Halloween Music

This week Room 3 worked with the schools music specialist. We dressed up as witches and danced around the room to one of the songs.

We had great fun singing and dancing! :)

 

Room 8 What we have enjoyed the most this term ...

What a great term we had in Room 8! So much to do, see and learn!

We went to M&D’s and we had lots of fun! Thank you Variety Scotland for our day out. Leon: "I was very scared when I went on the Big Wheel!"

Mazin: "I went fast on the Caterpillar ride."    

We helped each other work out Tens and Units using Base Ten blocks.  

"This is too easy for me, Mrs G! I want to do HTU, please", said James W. 

 

 

We went bag packing in the new B&M in Castlemilk. Every class went shopping in B&M to choose some toys for the school. James M and Aaryn said, "It was exciting looking at the toys. Can we keep them, please?"

We are reading James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl in class this term. James goes on an adventure and meets some interesting insects inside the peach. Inspired by a visit from Zoolab, we made some fabulous insects using playdoh. Aaryn and Darrel both made bees.

Aaryn: " I chose the bee because of the buzzing noise it makes. They will only sting you if you annoy them."

Darrel:’ I chose the bee because I liked the stripes on its body and it was tiny."

 

The trees outside in the playground are looking beautiful with their golden colours so we decided to go out for a walk in the woods with Mrs Gilgannon to look for other signs of Autumn. Look what we found:

Emily:" I found different grasses, heard a bird singing in the trees, raspberries and mushrooms. We were getting bitten by the midgies!"
Back in class, we made Autumn faces.

 

Our parents came in for 'Meet the Teacher' which was filled with games and laughter.

 

 

 

Zoolab came to visit the school. Oh dear, so many insects! And we got to hold or touch them too!

 

 

 

James M says, “I love going to Calder Glen Park for Positive Play! Look how high I can climb!”

 

We made all kinds of pictures with the things we collected with Mr Fletcher in Art.

 

 

Some of us went to Residential at Blairvadach Outdoor Centre at the beginning of term. We had so much fun!  

“ I was so brave jumping into the Pirate’s Tub!”, said James W.

“It was scary climbing the pole and tree outside,” said Leon.

“The best was sitting on the beach around the campfire telling ghost stories!” said Mrs Gilgannon.

 

Happy Holidays everyone!

 

 

Highlights of Term 1 for Class 9

Well, that's Term 1 almost over and the children in the class took some time to discuss their highlights  over the past 9 weeks. There have been so many good experiences, outing and learning opportunities to choose from. Here are a few of the children's favourites....

Studying the work of Vincent Van Gogh was rewarding and very relaxing for the children.

Mark liked learning new skills at maths and certainly made progress in this important are.

 

The after School Science club was another highlight and parents came along to learn and share the fun.

 

We are lucky to have great parks and woods around our city and always enjoy getting out and about.

 

Sean loves doing hard work and likes a challenge to complete.

 

John thoroughly enjoyed Blairvadach and pushed himself to do new things

 

Sean also had a great time there and was courageous and ready for new adventures

 

Joining our friends in the learning community was also great. We loved competing with them and being good sports.

 

Jamie has been very active in term 1 and has taken part in Boccia and lots of athletics.

 

For Saeed few things match the enjoyment he gets at horse riding.

 

Ayman liked being Umpire in Boccia games.

 

Everyone agreed that M&Ds was a great day out this term.

We'll be back for more learning, fun and adventure in Term 2 but in the meantime have a great October break!
