Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Comets have enjoyed time in the playground whilst it has been raining. We have experienced the sights and sounds of the rain.
Our favourite part was running and playing with our friends- just look at our faces!

This week we have been learning all about Harvest.
The Comets have enjoyed different Harvest activities throughout the week. The children loved making our class scarecrow that was inspired by Farmer Boggis from Fantastic Mr Fox.
In addition to this, we loved making and tasting our Harvest apple punch.
The children were fantastic at sorting all of the different food items into the correct categories.

The Comets have enjoyed different maths activities over the week for National Maths Week.
We have explored coins up to £2 , enjoyed money monster games and created marshmallow shapes.
Maths week certificates for all of our hard work!
This week the Comets class were successful learners during Science. We were learning about Polar Bears and how they are able to keep warm in freezing cold temperatures.
Firstly, the children dipped their hands into icy water to feel how cold it was. From some of our reactions you can see it was freezing!
Secondly, we put our hands in a plastic bag and dipped them into the lard (blubber.) We then dipped our hands into the water again to see if there was a change in the temperature.
The children were all amazed at how much warmer their hands felt with the protective layer of blubber.
The Comets have been effective contributors for our Macmillian Coffee Morning. Today we have been very busy participating in different types of fun activities.
The children have designed their own cupcakes, enjoyed colouring in and made some delicious cakes- some of us even got to pretend to be Percy Pig!

Another fantastic week in the Comets class. We have been working hard on our fine motor skills and farm to fork activities.
The Comets were successful learners when identifying where different types of food comes from. We looked at the journey a carrot takes to reach our plates. The children were effective contributors when taking part in classroom discussions and activities.
We have been confident individuals when preparing our carrots in different ways. All the children used the equipment in a safe and efficient way.
Welcome back Comets!

It has been lovely to have everyone back in class. The children have all settled well into the new classroom routines and have enjoyed seeing their friends.
Since being back, we have had lots of fun! Below, I have included some photographs of different activities that we have been doing over the last few weeks.
The Comets have been busy this week baking cakes, joining in on messy play and playing party games. Here are some pictures from our final week together.
We hope you have a lovely break and have lots of fun. Thank you all for your continued support.
For numeracy this term the Comets have been exploring information handing. We have been confident individuals when asking our peers questions to collect data and used tally marks to record and count up the totals. We were successful learners when identifying and selecting the correct information from a bar chart.
