ESB have been involved in the ‘Growing to Love Tomatoes’ project. We all have wall charts and stickers to help us watch our plants grow. At the end of term we will take our plants home and watch our tomatoes growing over the summer holidays. We enjoyed planting the seeds and are making sure they are getting watered daily. Hopefully we can make some nice things with our tomatoes once they are fully grown!
We created Stick Man artwork for ‘Bring a stick to school’ week!
We love our outdoor play time in ESB2!
ESB 2 Home Learning- Friday 24th January
Lots of loose parts fun in the ESB.
We went to the park for an ESB picnic and had a lovely time!
Our ESB had a fab time at Almond Valley last week. We had lots of fun playing on the trampolines, toboggans, flying fox and slides. We loved the sand and went on a train journey! We also saw lots of lovely animals. Here are some photos of our great day out!
Some pupils in the ESB got a great opportunity to go and see a show called ‘The Unexpected Gift’. It was delivered in a very relaxed and inclusive environment, where the children could get involved in the show in their own way. The pupils had a great time, opening gifts, dancing to music with ribbons, watching and listening to the songs and dance routines. The children got to play with different shaped boxes to create different sounds. At the end paper like snow fell gently into the space. The children loved this part of the show!
In ESB2 we have been involved in baking as part of our adaptive skills curriculum. We made lovely apple turnovers, we worked together and chopped apples and then put them in water with sugar. We had to spread the mixture and fold the pastry over, they were delicious! We have been involved in planting tomatoes and beans. We opened up the pods to look inside at the large beans.
This week our friend Janet and her Therapet Fitch came to visit both classes. We asked Janet lots of questions and Fitch listened. The children read Fitch a story about a new puppy. We are looking forward to our next visit from Fitch!
Our topic this term is ‘Scotland’ and we have been learning about the main cities in Scotland. We have been making our own Castles and Knights, and learning about the different types of people that lived in Castles and their roles.
In ESB2 we made some colourful Pysanky eggs to display in our window. We also made the Ukrainian flag and put the eggs around it to show that we are thinking of the children in Ukraine. We had an Easter Egg hunt and had to find eggs hidden in the playground. We found our eggs and got a little Easter chocolate treat!
ESB2 had great fun making pancakes this week!
ESB2 have been learning about the Human Body, and would like to introduce you to Frank, our body model, named by Kelvin. We did some Body drawing in our playground. We also created kilt art for Robert Burns day.
We used the playground for some Maths, learning about Time and drawing clocks on the ground!
We had fun being creative as part of ‘Bring a stick to school’ day last week!
We have started the term with our topic on ‘Rumble in the Jungle’. The class have enjoyed literacy activities, jungle games and arts and crafts with a jungle theme. We have shared interesting facts about animals that live in the jungle. The pupils worked together in loose parts learning to take turns and play cooperatively.
The LC Team have put together a Powerpoint and virtual tour video to share some information about the classes. See them below.
