@MrsMcps @carronshoreps @MissMelville_FC @Primary1_CPS @CarronshoreP23 @Cpsmrsw @ASNFalkirk @MissW_P7 @MrsMcD_P7 @P4_Carronshore Ah, Happy Birthday! 🎈🎂 Sorry I didn't get a chance to pop down and see his happy wee face 😁

Another busy, fun filled Friday in the EP Base. Excellent reading, shape work, concentrating on copying patterns, and being creative with our Play-Doh tub. We also started using Colourful Semantics, introducing verbs as action words today @MissMelville_FC @carronshoreps

The Target Zone made our own cooked playdough this week which was a super cool activity that helped our measuring skills while also demonstrating the science behind heat changing the state of something. We'll never have a playdough shortage again! @carronshoreps @playisthewayFC

Mrs Nicholson popped a few new resources out in the area this week, including these really cool number blocks to help with bonds to 10, and a hairdressing station to help with 1/2s and 1/4s, which certainly seems like a hit so far! @carronshoreps @playisthewayFC

Last week, Sophie wanted to practise her writing by setting out her ideal rules for the Target Zone, and we all worked hard on the various durations that make up a year. We'll be using this information for some data handling and writing tasks soon too... @carronshoreps

Mrs Nicholson missed these smiles last Friday when we were off because of the wind warning 🚩🌬️ (It was still all go over here, baking gingerbread men and mixing up bath bombs with the littlest Nicholson) @MissMelville_FC @carronshoreps

The Target Zone have been developing dictionary skills, as well as using dictionaries as a tool to help identify whether words are nouns, verbs, or adjectives. We've also been doing simple plurals too 📚❤️ @carronshoreps @FalkirkLiteracy

The Target Zone were checking their understanding of the < or > symbols. We enjoyed singing our song 🎶"The hungry alligator, eats the number that is greater..." 🎶 to help us remember! 🐊 @carronshoreps

In the EP, we were working on identifying cubes and discussing their properties, building bridges for balancing, and roleplaying hospitals and paramedics 🟥🌉🥼🧑‍⚕️ @carronshoreps @MissMelville_FC

The Target Zone took inspiration from the poem "A Voodoo for Miss Maverick" to explore expressing feelings through poetry. In groups, we are composing our own poems. Watch this space for the finished articles from all our wonderful poets 📝 @carronshoreps @FalkirkLiteracy

Mrs Nicholson's first Friday back in the base included some numeracy, focusing on comparing and ordering (the boys are showing height order), then the afternoon saw us learn about artist Steven Brown and have a go at making our own McCoos 🐮🌈 @carronshoreps @MissMelville_FC

January in the Target Zone was busy, busy! We were getting used to a few timetable changes, including having Miss Gibson working here on Fridays now while Mrs Nicholson has her day in the EP Base. January learning began with identifying and continuing patterns 🔎 @carronshoreps

#TwinkleToes Challenge no.6! Christmas sELFie 🤳 (it would have been easier herding cats today! 😅) @carronshoreps #Friday13th

#TwinkleToes Challenge no.4! We developed our note taking skills by using bullet points to select facts about Christmas in the Netherlands. We then used the notes to help us make a presentation using ChatterPix #MetaSkill #Creative @ConnectedFalk @FalkirkLiteracy @carronshoreps

Finally, we all made our own twig stars by choosing thick or thin twigs, measuring and cutting them to be the same length, and focusing hard to get them tied together with pipe cleaners. What a great job everyone did! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #TwinkleToes @carronshoreps

The next day we learned all about measuring in centimetres to help us with our project. We also discussed what meta skills we were using and named them as Adapting, Collaborating, and Creativity. #TwinkleToes #MetaSkills @carronshoreps

Our 2nd #TwinkleToes challenge took us a while as there were lots of parts to it... First, we discussed some options and decided to make twig stars. Then we went out and collected a selection of twigs, which we brought back and sorted before leaving them to dry. @carronshoreps

Not only have the Target Zone decorated their door to help ward off #TwinkleToes and his stink bombs, Mrs N has had an "X"-mas miracle and finally tamed the gremlins inside her account and is able to post again! (Mega TZ photo bomb incoming soon!) @carronshoreps

1942 wedding selfie! @carronshoreps @MrsMcD_P7 @MissW_P7 @MrsMcps @MissMelville_FC

Up and at it, learning how to round this morning. Mrs Nicholson uses a very silly way to teach about how to do this... 🤭🚻🚽 @carronshoreps @MissMelville_FC @MrsMcps @P4_Carronshore @P5WCps @Cpsmrsw #BurstingForTheLoo
