Willowbank School, Kilmarnock* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS *
The Daisies class loved making funny faces today. We used tortilla wraps as our base and then used a range of vegetables to make our other facial features. We chose from cherry tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, peppers and potatoes. We really enjoyed doing this, especially grating the carrots and cucumber to make curly hair.

The Daisies class completed a range of fine motor skills this week. We put play dough spots on a dinosaur, moved pompoms using pegs, pushed straws into small holes on a cheese grater and finally threaded some wooden fruits.

The Daisies class were very successful learners during a Health and Wellbeing lesson. We looked closely at images of different people and tried to decide how they were feeling. We were using words like happy/sad/angry/sleepy/scared.
We also took turns rolling the emotions dice and then acting out that feeling in front of a mirror.
Finally, we made different play dough faces to show different emotions.

The Daisies have really enjoyed familiarising themselves with their new classroom and class team. We have particularly enjoyed this weather and have loved exploring the playground with our friends.

The Daisies class enjoyed participating in one of our 50 Things Outdoor activities. They explored the grass in the sensory garden using their bare feet. They all really enjoyed doing this!

We also took turns blowing bubbles for our friends. Some of us preferred blowing the bubbles and some of us preferred to run around and pop them!
Yesterday, we were successful learners and explored forces during our Science lesson.
We carefully follow instructions to create a car, then added a balloon to act as the force. Some of our peers were confident individuals and made a prediction about what would happen after the balloon was released.
Today we had lots of fun taking part in lots of Superhero themed activities to celebrate the MOVE programme.
We created our own superhero masks, danced to superhero music, and participated in lots of superhero themed games.
We have been confident individuals this week and took part in our annual Sports Day!
We were effective contributors and cheered for our peers when acting as an audience.
We had super dancing in our warm up and ran our fastest during both races.
We have been having lots of fun learning all about the story of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’.
We were successful learners and answered lots of questions about the story then made confident choices to create our own artwork of a magic bean, just like Jack traded his cow for in the story.
Today we made a picnic and enjoyed it in the sensory garden. We were responsible citizens and ensured we had everything we needed before leaving the class.
We chatted with friends while enjoying our snack in the sunshine.
