Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Comets have enjoyed our day celebrating Christmas Jumper Day 2021.
Over the last few days we have been taking part in different Christmas activities and have been confident individuals designing our own Christmas jumpers.
We got lots of photos in our Christmas jumpers, I hope you all enjoy!
The Comets have been busy learning all about St Andrews Day. We were successful learners and effective contributors during different activities.
The children enjoyed doing St Andrews Day stained glass paper crafts. In addition to this, we tried different types of food and drinks from Scotland. Everyone was confident when they were identifying what we liked and what we didn’t like.
***Effective Contributors***
Today the Comets took part in East Ayrshire’s Annual Youth Conference. During the Conference we were given the opportunity to speak about important issues such as The Rights of the Child and how to support everyone’s rights. The children were happy to have their voices heard and were effective contributors throughout.
The Comets were responsible during today’s one minute silence, we were all very respectful and quiet. The children all enjoyed our walk to the local Remembrance Day Garden and enjoyed looking at the wreaths and the benches with soldiers on them.
In the afternoon, we were successful learners by producing different Poppy inspired art pieces. As a class, we worked as a team to create a stain glass inspired window display that turned out beautifully.
Have a lovely weekend when it arrives.

The Comets class have been working hard over the last few weeks to improve their fine motor skills.
Initially the children used plastic sewing needles till they became more confident. We practised lots with card and thick yarn and over time progressed to normal sewing needles and embroidery thread.
The children have been confident individuals and successful learners when making their felt fox teddies and are excited to take them home.

Over the week we have completed different Halloween activities that have been lots of fun. To finish the week off we have enjoyed some yummy treats, done lots of singing and dancing and participated in Halloween games.
Have a lovely weekend!

The Comets were successful learners this week when we carved our own pumpkins and used the leftover pumpkin to create delicious smoothies. In class, we discussed the different things we could do and make with leftover pumpkins and ways we could reduce our food waste.

The Comets class were effective contributors this week when making their salt dough pumpkins decorations. The children worked hard to make sure the measurements were correct for our salt dough.
We then molded the dough to make pumpkin shapes using string and our hands. After the pumpkins cooled down from the oven, we painted them and added some sparkle!
Confident Individuals and Effective Contributors
The Comets celebrated the religious festival of Diwali on Monday. We enjoyed learning about Diwali traditions and listening to stories about Rama and Sita.
The children had lots of fun creating Rangoli patterned plates. We worked very hard to take our time to create beautiful and unique designs.

The Comets have settled in well after the holidays and have been happy to see all of their friends.
As part of our theme work we have continued to enjoy the story of Fantastic Mr Fox- we are nearly at the end of the story!
The children have been successful learners this week and have produced wanted posters for Mr Fox. First, we created and wrote a description of Mr Fox and the crimes he has committed. Secondly, we followed a step by step tutorial to create our own drawing of Mr Fox for our posters. All of the children had fantastic listening and i’m sure you will all agree, produced some amazing work!
Have a lovely weekend,
From the Comets ladies.
