Staying Safe on Bonfire Night!

We had a very busy day learning all about Guy Fawkes and the reason we celebrate ‘Bonfire Night’.

  •  we displayed excellent teamwork skills collecting sticks and leaves to make our   bonfire
  •  used a range of painting techniques to create bonfire and firework art
  •  wrote some important safety instructions for staying safe on ‘Bonfire Night’
  •  enjoyed making and eating edible sparklers and hot dogs whilst listening to our   themed story ‘Sparks in the Sky’
  •  finished off our day all snuggled up watching a spectacular firework display

Harvest Thanks!

The children in the Hub have been celebrating Harvest by making ‘Harvest Creatures’, using fruit and vegetables. They took great pride in displaying their creations outside our Hub entrance and couldn’t wait to show their parents at the end of the day.

We were all very proud of the children for their discussions about all the things they were thankful for. They drew some lovely, detailed pictures and completed some beautiful writing.

                               

Little Pumpkins!!!!!

The children loved designing their pumpkin and scooping out all the seeds.

Mr Norton carved out their design and delivered safety talk on using equipment.

Some of our children loved the sensory feeling of scooping out with their hands whilst others chose to scoop out with spoon.

We investigated our pumpkin seeds and compared sizes with other seeds.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO ALWAYS ASK AN ADULT TO HELP YOU CARVE YOUR PUMPKIN!

Book Sale!

Team SEN plan to hold a second hand book sale on Thursday, celebrating World Book Day. Book sale will be held on our Hub playground and continue after school allowing parents to purchase. We are using this as a fundraising event and books will be priced at any 3 for £1. A text will be sent out today notifying parents. We will prepare a timetable for you to visit and purchase. Our wee book shop will be open all day, including lunchtime, so no pressure. Please feel free if any other phases wish to do the same in their own area!

Thank you!

Chinese New Year!

The children in the Hub have been demonstrating excellent use of fine motor skills this week for our Chinese New Year celebrations.

We enjoyed our food tasting session with noodles, spring rolls and rice crackers on the menu. We used chopsticks to eat our noodles with and Raphael was crowned King of the Chopsticks.

The children displayed safe use of scissors and excellent cutting skills making their lanterns.

Good speaking and listening skills were also displayed during our story of the day ‘Cleversticks’, beautifully read by Stephanie.

How tall are you?

Are you taller or shorter than an Emperor Penguin?

Our extremely talented resident artist, Miss Whitton, painted a life sized Emperor Penguin on our Hub door in order for us to compare our height.

Super Swimming Davey!

Davey was so excited to be special guest during swimming lessons with Ganton Primary School. He absolutely loved splashing Mrs Rowbottom. Thank you Ganton!
