We have been having lots of fun exploring Mexico through our new theme. Today we listened to mariachi music, and played along with our own instruments.
We were effective contributors through playing along with our own instruments and were successful learners as we explored two new instruments- Guitars and Drums!
The Daisies have been learning a new song at music called ‘We’re Going Around The World’ as an introduction to their new theme. All pupils have enjoyed coming along to do music in our music room and being able to explore and play a variety of percussion instruments. We have been learning some key signs and actions for our song as well as playing the claves, castanets and clackers to accompany the tune. Hayden also enjoyed performing a solo for his class which we managed to get on video too.

We have been taking part in lots of Easter themed activities this week, and especially enjoyed having a visit from some lambs today.
We were confident individuals and touched and held the lambs.
We enjoyed lots of active activities for Big Pedal Week this week. On Tuesday we went for a local walk, and tracked the number of steps we took using a fitbit.
On Friday we were all Confident Individuals when taking part in races with the Sunflowers class. We had to move around and under obstacles, crawl through tunnels, and follow the arrows to follow the course. We had lots of fun!
We have been out in the playground running and on bikes this week. Today we are going to complete and course in the hall. We will have lots of fun and increase our daily step count. We have to ran, went under a parachute, threw a ball in a net, went in between cones, punched the punch bag and scored a goal to finish. We worked together with the Daisies class and raced each other around the course. We were confident individuals and successful learners as we were able to complete the course.
The daisies have been exploring lots of different aspects of science throughout the week. We have been successful learners and have used observation and investigating to explore chemical reactions, sounds and vibrations, forces and parts of a plant.
Today was Red Nose Day. Some of the boys came in wearing red. We watched the YouTube video “put a nose on it” by Singing Hands. We went to the atrium with all the other infant classes and had a dance. We played Red Nose Day corners with the different Disney characters on the t-shirts and also had an nose and spoon race. The boys also tried on Red Nose Day glasses and a nose.
We had a special visitor come into school today. Greta Yorke and her friend Moira came to Willowbank today to read Greta’s book “The Tartan Witch”. The whole school got to listen to Greta and Moira tell the story about the tartan witch. Greta had also organised some lovely activities related to the book for the children to do after listening to the story. The activities were : exploration of the characters from the book, creating our own tartan using special wooden blocks with different lines on them, a matching game and a potion station. Everyone really enjoyed listening to the story and were effective contributors when engaging with the activities.
