This term Pine Class have had the opportunity to work with an author.  Gill White is the author of ‘Leo and the Lightning Dragon’ and she has been into school to work with us (and Holly class). Together we’re going to create our very own story. Gill has delivered some sessions in school which have been really enjoyable, and we have already made some shields to fend off that Dragon! 

We started a project about ‘Our Wonderful World of Nature and Colours in Nature’.  Over the last few weeks, we have looked at the colours of green and yellow. We made some special cards with yellow daffodils for Mother’s Day, and we created a huge green 3D lizard …which is bigger than some of the children in our class! 

We’ve also enjoyed preparing and participating in the Edinburgh Schools Dance Festival and our dance specialist helped us create a dance about fire and ice, we enjoyed seeing the performances by the other schools. 

We’ve been keeping up with our Tuesday cooking sessions and chocolate seems to be featuring highly this term! 

We’ve been missing our teacher Jill so we bought flowers and seeds and created some outdoor planters. Dyanne our Nursery Nurse managed to pay her a wee visit to deliver the beautiful flowers and she was able to let her know that we’ve all been thinking about her.
