Primary PESSPA
During PESSPA play in primary the pupils enjoy a wide range of activities to participate in to encourage play and health and well being. It’s that time of year when the garden section can start to be developed to encourage nature. A group help to ensure the garden and grounds are clear and tidy with litter picking. The climbing frame, football and scooter areas are a big favourite for the rest to engage and play together safely and part of a team.
Chestnut Intervention group (Primary)
This week Jenson and Mahmoud have been working on turn taking and sharing social skills. They have played games, bubble blowing and this afternoon enjoyed working together to feed the wild birds in the school garden. Jenson said the food was “Mess” when he kept pouring through the feeder onto the floor and laughing.
Work Experience
Some of our Year 11’s have started their work experience over the last couple of weeks. Finley has been helping Rowan class by cleaning out the guinea pigs and making sure they are fed and comfortable in their cages. And since they both love sport, Shay and Aaron have been helping out with Primary PE lessons on a Friday afternoon. Well done guys, you’re all superstars and staff are so thankful for the work you have been doing!
Chestnut Intervention group (Emotions)
During intervention this week the group have worked on developing their personal and social development skills and emotions. They followed the visual structure and routine to clean their teeth and the importance of keeping them clean and healthy. Jenson was very happy piping mashed potato out onto emotions boards and saying which emotion it was. Marshall was very happy outside joining in the game of find the emotion game in the forest school area.
Computing in Birch
We have been practicing our skills on Microsoft Publisher by creating an invitation that is fun, appealing and catches the eye! We have practiced saving in the correct places and creating something on our own. We ensured we understood why certain information is needed in certain places and in a certain size!
The effects of air resistance
We had a brilliant lesson today identifying the effects of air resistance. We created a parachute to see who could get their egg to the floor safely. The children did amazing identifying materials in which would stop the egg from smashing.
Musical talent!
Today we practiced our Music and Singing skills to Adele’s – Make you feel my love. Great work Birch! We had so much fun playing and singing along.
Independently working for Maths!
Today for Maths we worked independently! We had to count counters and ensure we had the correct amount. We all worked so hard and staff are so pleased with us! Great work Birch!
