Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Asteroids looked at different jobs this afternoon, specifically people who help us.
We paid attention and took part in chatting about where we can see/find people who do these jobs and how and when they might help us.
We had a great time dressing up! Our favourites were Police Officers and Firefighters!
We had a lovely day celebrating books and sharing stories!
We looked at our favourite books from home and made confident choices of books to read from the class library. While we read books we did a scavenger hunt of story book items and ticked them off our list.
Our theme of the day was ‘Pirates Love Underpants’ and so we listened to the story and made a bookmark and pirate hat. We then decorated our own WBD cupcakes choosing our own icing colour and finished them off with cake toppers.
Some of us dressed up and the ladies dressed as the Pirates from ‘Pirates love Underpants’!!

We dressed up and enjoyed lots of activities on World Book Day. We took part in a scavenger hunt, read the funny story, ‘Aliens Love Underpants’, created playdoh aliens and iced alien flying saucer biscuits which we had for snack. At drama we roleplayed ‘Animal Boogie’ and enjoyed book sharing and a story box.
We have celebrated World Book Day within the Oak class with a Jungle Book Theme. We were all successful learners and confident individuals answering questions about the book and acting out the animals. We completed a book review stating our favourite scene from the book and our favourite character.
We took part in some jungle experiments, one was successful and one was unsuccessful.
The moonbeams have enjoyed celebrating world book day through listening to stories and exploring characters in books. We enjoyed participating in a book scavenger hunt to find characters in a variety of books. We were confident individuals when practiced our communication skills using visuals and makaton during a game of guess who where we had to guess what character was being described. We created our own bookmarks. Stories are enjoyed in many different ways and we relaxed during sensory story massage session. We enjoyed solving the book cover puzzles to reveal some well known stories.
We have really enjoyed learning about Fairtrade. We listened well to the powerpoint telling us about Fairtrade and why it is a good idea to buy food with the Fairtrade logo.
We familiarised ourselves with the logo and went on a logo hunt in our classroom and the corridor. We thought we had found them all but Mrs Smith found one the next day stuck to the window!
We looked at different kinds of food we can buy with the Fairtrade logo and were super logo spotters, finding the logo on the packaging.
We also made rice krispie cakes with some Fairtrade chocolate – yummy!
Another activity we took part in was painting using Fairtrade coffee! Most of us did not like the smell of the coffee but we enjoyed using it as paint on our super absorbent watercolour paper. Some of us thought it looked like parchment from the Ancient Egyptians!
We have been learning about fairtrade. We listened to a story about the journey of a fairtrade banana and enjoyed exploring peeling, cutting, mashing and tasting banana. We explored how the skin looked different on the inside and outside. We loved using the masher and watched how the banana texture changed from dry to wet
.
The Daisies have enjoyed following a visual recipe to make yummy pancakes. We were confident individuals when flipping our pancakes. We choose a delicious toppings to try our pancakes during snack.
The Transition class took part in a Drake Music session. They were Confident Individuals and used their numeracy skills to follow the pattern on the screen, making sure to play their instrument at the correct time.
