We've been working hard, learning a lot and having a lot of fun so far in 2017-2018
Making associations, creating our own pictogram, making jigsaws and lovely, messy Science experiments.
Learning is FUN!
We've been busy learning about the Solar System.
Happy Valentines Day
Snowy choir or trying to catch a few snowflakes.

A Trip to Eglish Abbey
Ice-cream at School
How lucky are we? As part of the Erasmus celebrations an ice-cream van came right into the school yard. We could hardly believe our eyes.
Look how we can make patterns
Learning about pattern helps us to develop logical thinking. This will help us in many subjects, including Maths.
Check out our favourite books this term!
We were also very excited to see the library van roll into the Eglish school yard. We filed on, up the steps, through the sliding door, into a vehicle filled with books. WOW!
Samba Drumming
We are busy learning to create rhythms with Samba Drums which are on loan to the school. We love making noise. The teachers love it too (Sort of!)
Spring is here!
We have been enjoying watching the chicks in the Senior Room hatch and grow.
We love puzzles.
Look at all we are learning when we make a puzzle
- Physical skills -- from holding puzzle pieces and turning them until they fit
- Cognitive skills -- as they solve the problems of a puzzle
- Emotional skills -- they learn patience and are rewarded when they complete the puzzle
.Doing a puzzle with a friend or family member also allows for the growth of social skills as they work together and communicate about what fits where. (Teach.com)
Make a puzzle, watch your child grow!
