St Andrew’s Day!
Monday was St Andrew’s Day. We learnt about the Scottish flag and the Saltire Cross and coloured in some bunting to decorate the room.
We have also been learning a Scottish dance form called Ceilidh Dancing!
If you want to try out the Canadian Barn Dance at home, here is a video with traditional music
The instructions we say are…
“Forwards, 2, 3, hop. Backwards, 2, 3, hop. Away from your partner *clap* , and back to your partner *hold hands*, hello, hello, goodbye, goodbye. and lets spin a-round a-gain!”
But the dance also goes very well to this song too!
Primary 6 Buddies
Primary 6 are Primary 1’s buddies. Normally we would meet up however because of the germs, we can’t right now.
Primary 6 made us a video and photo instructions with how to make some Christmas decorations!
“We needed to stick the face on” and “Put the pipe cleaner in the hole in red and white to make a pattern” Bryce.
Time
Primary 1 have done an excellent job at learning how to draw analogue clocks and make and read o’clock times on analogue and digital clocks.
Have a go at playing this game at home (requires Flash)
Counting down the days ….. a really useful Calendar!
We are very pleased to share with you this special advent calendar. It is from the talented South East Lifelong Learning team! This virtual advent calendar aims to support families with activities and tips for the run up to Christmas.
Activities include simple crafts, baking, stories from libraries and in British Sign Language, games, looking after the environment, health and wellbeing and many more. Many of the team are on the calendar so that if anyone needs support they have a link with who to contact about families work, adult education and youth work.
