This week we have been playing literacy and numeracy games. We have been playing outside with the other classes and having lots of fun with them. We have been in the garden and looking at what is growing and smelling the flowers and plants.

On Tuesday it was our celebration day and Hayden’s birthday. We did some dancing, games and some cake tasting. We had some animals in the school and loved petting and brushing them.  We enjoyed having singing hands through zoom and we danced and did our makaton signs with the rest of the school.

We had a wee visit from the police and we enjoyed having a shot in the car and wearing some police uniform.

We have enjoyed some movies this week and having lots of fun for our last full week before the summer holidays. On our local walk we went to Kay park and played very well with each other.

The comets also got their prize giving certificates. They have done so well this year and have progressed so well as individuals, and as a class too. I know they will do very well in the next part of their journeys here at Willowbank School.

It has been a great pleasure to be a teacher to Comets and I hope you all have a fantastic summer break.

We had great fun this week doing outdoor learning activities for polo week. We made posters, painted stones, made leaf people, we played with bubbles, made our own bubbles, did some learning and drawings with chalk, went on a nature walk and collected leaves and we made a bug hotel. We had so much fun outdoor learning and looking at nature.

On Wednesday the comets did some fantastic flower art with Mrs McDonald. They look awesome. Well done comets.

On Thursday we did our local walk and because the whether was so nice we played at the park. We also seen the baby ducks and swans. We did a science experiment that involved milk, food colouring and dish soup and is was great to see the couloirs mixing and understanding why they did. We also looked at some life skills, which was tying laces and cleaning up – the comets are good at cleaning up.

On Friday it was MOVE day and we did… lots of movement activities and had a blast playing with other classes. Just have a look at all the photos of some of the many activities that comets did! A full day movement and fun.

So this week we started it with making our own story of being on the Titanic, the comets decided if they would be passengers, we’re they came from and what class they wanted to be. We looked at the journey the titanic made from it getting built to sinking. The comets have been working hard in PE and have been practicing for sports day.

On Friday we played numeracy and literacy games and had fun doing new games and challenges.

we did a science experiment involving water, ice, salt and some string. The comets did awesome with this and enjoyed making the string stick to the ice using some salt.

I’m cooking we put our taste bunds to the test and tried some new sauces. The comets did well with this and were very brave in trying new dances. They made it very clear which ones they liked and disliked.

we looked at some deep sea creatures and saw how different they looked to the animals that we know. We then made our own drawings and clay models of our own deep sea creatures. Scary!

There are also photos of the work that comets did last week with Mrs McDonald. Some fantastic sea pictures and art.
