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 boys in the Sungazers have been confident individuals, getting their items ready to sell at the Christmas Market tomorrow.
We all worked together, made choices and helped each other.
We hope you enjoy our tasty treats – limited numbers, only while stocks last!
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.
We have been busy taking part in our MOVE group to work on our individual skills whilst interacting with our friends and having fun along the way.
All pupils have been confident individuals and successful learners when using their equipment to work extremely hard on their standing and walking.
Our Enterprise group are having Fun with Food, we are being confident individuals to try new food that we do not normally like to eat whilst having fun in the process.
It is only our second lesson but we are building up to making meals that we enjoy and making a pictorial recipe cook book which will be on sale at the end of the year.
We have blew bubbles in the milk and some of us made our milk disappear. We all crunched some cheerios, sprinkled in our milk, played with the cheerios in the milk with a spoon, then put some in our mouths.
We used straws to blow the yoghurt about the plate, we played with frozen yoghurt boats, made them swim about the plate then licked them to feel the temperature and have a taste.
We made a tree with breadsticks and the leaves were halved grapes, once the picture was made we licked, bit and some of us ate all the tree.
We have also tried some cheese and gammon slices, we cannot wait until our next lesson to see what we will be exploring next.
The Stars Class made a rain catcher to collect water in the garden. We sieved it through paper to see how clean it was to drink. It was full of dirt and leaves. We are so lucky to have clean water from the tap to drink and wash in. Some boys and girls from abroad are not so lucky and have to drink dirty water from rivers or lakes. We have also planted spring bulbs in the garden. We hope they will grow into colourful daffodils and tulips.
The Daisies have had lots of fun exploring ball skills in PE and are improving control every week.
The Transition class was a hum of quiet focussed activity when the boys took part in their literacy lesson this week. They were all Confident Individuals when taking part in their own reading tasks. Their tasks included reading and answering questions on a chapter of a chosen book, finding key words to share the theme and describing what they see, think and wonder. Every boy made an excellent effort – well done!
We have been very busy in the last few weeks planning our own enterprise afternoon.
We designed invitations, bought supplies and helped our friends as we welcomed them to our class to decorate their own chocolate apples for Halloween.
We were very Confident Individuals when we showed our peers what to do, collected money, and restocked supplies.
The Stars Class enjoyed lots of Halloween activities this week and a sensory assembly. We harvested the pumpkins we’d grown in the garden.
