Willowbank School, KilmarnockWe had lots of fun on Friday as part of our infant fun Friday. Â We had a beach themed morning playing hook a duck, building sandcastles, dressing up and having a water obstacle course. We also had a water fight with our friends it was lots of fun.
Global Goal 3
We have been exploring healthy and unhealthy food options. We looked at lots of different images of food and decided whether they were healthy or unhealthy. We then created our own lunch boxes choose different food images and putting them inside. Â We also used some healthy food to create some snacks that looked like dinosaurs. We all enjoyed creating these and some of us even ate them.
As part of our dinosaur theme we have been using different shapes to create a dinosaur picture. Some of the children were able to identify the 2D shapes. They were confident individuals and able to glue each shape down to create a body, head, legs , tail and spikes.
 The Bluebells enjoyed a visit from the campus police officer. We were responsible citizens and went to the car park to see the police car. We were able to try on some of the jackets and hats they wear and get inside the police car too. Some of the pupils even got to use the handcuffs. They really enjoyed this visit and enjoyed pressing the button to make the noise in the police car it was really loud.
As part of our theme work on dinosaurs we have been exploring stories about dinosaurs. We have been matching pictures and words from the book and some have been able to read some of the words in the story.
This week has been a fun filled week with lots of outdoor learning opportunities. We have explored the sensory garden collect items to use for some art work. We made portraits using the materials we collected in the garden.
We did some numeracy outdoor learning this week.
We used hole punches to punch a specific number of holes into the leaves. We ordered numbered logs and put sticks into numbered plant pots.
This term we made a card and a gift for someone special in our life. It was Mother’s Day and we all made a card. We painted our hands and made lots of different coloured hand prints on a big piece of card. Some pupils were able to stick all the pieces together to create a vase of flowers. We also made cards and a superhero gift for our dad for Father’s Day.
Chalk Art
We have experienced making marks on the ground using chalk. We have explored making shapes and colourful pictures. We were confident individuals holding the chalk and using it to make marks on the ground outside our classroom.
Picnic
Now that we are getting better weather and the sun is out we have had our snack in the playground with peers. We have prepared snack and taken it to the outside environment to enjoy it with peers. We chose snacks we  like an pd collected our plate to be taken outside. We sat at the picnic table and enjoyed eating out snack outdoors.
The infants had lots of fun this morning doing some MOVE activities in the playground. We started with a warm up to some music led by Mrs Hendry. We had to do some stretches along with some other movements. We then made a huge conga line and went round all the picnic benches – it was great fun. We then played a game of tails. We each had a tail tucked into our trousers or sleeve and we had to move around and try and steal the tails from our friends. Everyone really enjoyed this game and were interacting with all their peers in the infant corridor. Miss Stalker showed us some mainland yoga poses that we could copy – a favourite was the cow pose.  We then played an animal dice game  and had to copy the movement once we had thrown the dice. It was a super morning and everyone had fun.
