Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Asteroids made a jam sandwich yesterday using instructions to show them what ingredients they needed and what they had to do.
Once the jam sandwich was made, most of us enjoyed eating the jam sandwich for our snack.
We then showed off our recall and reading skills and completed a worksheet choosing the correct written or pictorial steps to making our sandwich.
We finished all off listening to the Jeely Piece song!
Great job, boys!
Today we had lots of fun with different activities and games. We played a farm animal matching game and had to find all the animals that were the same. We were confident individuals and effective contributors sharing and letting everyone have a turn.

We have been working hard on developing our understanding of measuring equipment, units of measurement and how to measure different types of objects. Today we were looking at capacity and volume. We explored how to measure the volume of different liquids and correct terminology.
In the Oak class we have been involved in weekly lessons based on LGBT. Our work is focused around two books and this week the book is ‘Prince Henry’. A story about love and equality between two people. Everyone has the choice to fall in love with whoever they want.
We spoke about our family network and who is around us and the people that care and love us. We created a family tree and we were confident individuals when sharing with our friends.

The Snowdrops have enjoyed more LGBT theme activities this week. We have explored different colours and have made beautiful rainbows. The Snowdrops also showed a lot of interest in our science experiment to see if we could make a rainbow using skittles and water. Everyone was very confident when pouring the water and everyone thought the colourful results were amazing!
