Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Stars class started celebrating St Andrew’s day by making St Andrew’s flags and roller painting tartan with toy cars! We had fun trying different ways to propel balls across the table but not by touching. We had a lovely time when Bella and Zeus visited us at Pet Therapy.
The week has been a busy week in the Sunflower class. We have started learning the songs for our nativity. We went a walk around the local area and visited the new Remembrance garden and the Cenotaph to see the poppy wreaths that we laid last week.
We have been busy making our tree for the wall display in the atrium. We were drawing round our hands of different green material and the attached them to the tree shape and added glitter to make it sparkle.
We read a story about how to build a snowman and then cut out the pictures and stuck them down to sequence the story using the pictures.
This morning we did some preparation for St Andrew’s Day. We made some beautiful St Andrew’s Cross Flags, also known as The Saltire, we hand printed some lovely thistles. Then we used The Saltire, thistle and St Andrew to help with our Maths work – looking at the biggest to the smallest and putting them in order or selecting the biggest or the smallest shape.
The Stars Class enjoyed Pudsey activities on Friday afternoon. We handled dotty water beads, made dotty Pudsey pictures and had Pudsey dotting all over the magic carpet! We even had tasty Pudsey decorated cakes and shortbread for snack. Earlier in the week we finished making ‘junk’ houses and recently we have enjoyed outings to B&Q, The Range and Hansel Village.
The Stars Class created colourful rockets at art then used a balloon to make a rocket which shot across the classroom. It moved really fast and was very noisy.
We have been collecting leaves from our sensory garden and when we went on our social outing to the park. We were then able to reuse these leaves to create lovely pieces of artwork for our display.
The Stars Class enjoyed lots of Halloween activities this week and a sensory assembly. We harvested the pumpkins we’d grown in the garden.
Responsible citizens using the drill to create our pumpkin all the boys loved this experience. We also used a hammer and cookie cutter, boys with their toys, great fun.
Halloween Spider cupcakes were made this week, great team work and successful learners, listening to Jack’s instructions and carrying them out with a small amount of support.
Halloween sensory assembly, everyone was confident individuals to take part in all the activities.
Oozing fizzy pumpkin experiment, we watched the spiders and creepy eyeballs ooze out of our carved pumpkins.
Skeleton X-ray art work, the boys all enjoyed getting their hand painted and found it very tickly. We had to think about the bones in our hand to add these onto our pictures.
The Stars Class have enjoyed a fantastic week where we saw not only Harris McCoo but Singing Hands too. What a treat! We’ve worked hard too and made an Autumn sensory bottle, added to our Nanny McPhee wall display and made yucky ‘worm’ sandwiches at HE which actually were very tasty!
The daisies have enjoyed looking at photos of our families, and have created our own family trees to show the members of our family.
