We had good fun guessing which objects would move in the wind. We used a hand fan and a hairdrier to create wind. The leaves and paper were so light they blew everywhere!

The Asteroids have been busy investigating the weights of different vegetables and comparing their weights and sizes. We tried to estimate which vegetable would be the heaviest then we checked our predictions using the balancing scales.
We worked hard to order some vegetables in order of heaviest to lightest, lightest to heaviest.
It was Harvest this week in Transition class. The class were Effective Contributors during assembly where they joined in with songs with musical instruments. They also took care and focussed well making scarecrow faces. Pupils folded paper before cutting out hats, noses and eyes they added a little straw for effect!

We have enjoyed many Harvest activities this week. We collected groceries for the Food Bank, enjoyed a Harvest Assembly with Rev. Cameron, ground wheat to show how flour is made and baked bread. At art we created scarecrows, harvest wreaths and printed apple patterns. We played the glockenspiel, following patterns, to play autumn songs. We also make tasty apple punch.

The Snowdrops have been learning all about the life-cycle of a butterfly.  They really enjoyed watching the life-cycle story, matching and sequencing pictures/sensory toys, joining in with the songs and could answer simple questions as part of our class discussions. We also made beautiful butterfly pictures.

The Oak class are learning about the different types of breakfast eaten around the world as part of our IDL topic work.
As you can see our class love food and there were smiles all around when we were tasting a small sample of a French and American breakfast. We had a class vote to find out the most popular breakfast, American pancakes with Syrup.
We were effective contributors when typing up an email to send to all the Willowbank classes. We are completing a whole school survey to find out which food is the most popular breakfast in Willowbank.
This week we have been learning about harvest and enjoyed taking part in some harvest art activities. We made a harvest wreath and a scarecrow face for our Harvest assembly. We also were effective contributors when making our harvest punch and attempting to make hedgehog truffles. They might of looked very unique but they still tasted delicious.
The Transition class were Effective Contributors when they started to explore Scotland’s food. They all worked together to match well-known Scottish food to it’s area of production. They then looked at eggs and discussed different ways of cooking with them and which is considered healthy and which is considered unhealthy. They all had a cracking time and eggcelled at the task.
