Willowbank School, KilmarnockWe were successful learners last week when we invited our peers in the Sunflowers class to visit a café to share what we have been learning all about Mexico.
We enjoyed trying lots of Mexican foods, dressing as traditional Mariachi musicians, and listening to Mexican music.
We had lots of fun and were confident individuals trying lots of foods that we hadn’t tried before.
This week we have taken part in a lot of our IDL topic work. We were confident individuals learning about the process of going to the airport. Then we went to our Oak Travel Agents to book our holiday to Australia. The boys were able to be effective communicators to share information about their dream holiday.
They worked on their literacy skills, reading, writing and signing / speaking to tell their friends how many people were going on their holiday, the type of accommodation they would like to sleep and their mode of transport to get to Australia.
This week we were effective contributors to help make our Lamington Australian cake, the boys listened to instructions well when baking this cake.
We loved being invited to the Sunflowers French themed café this week. We were effective contributors and tried lots of new foods. We also explored enjoying some French music and dancing.
We made Octopus Pizza which everyone enjoyed. The boys were independent in making their own pizza, successful learners observing and copying the demonstration.
We delivered our assembly this week on our topic, Australia. We made giant paper planes and boomerang. We observed the demonstration and were successful learners, then we had great fun testing out if they would fly.
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!
Angus listened to instructions well to make his bird cake.
This week we were making bird cakes to feed the birds, with all the snow and the cold weather we have been having we need to help our bird friends find some food.
We added raisins, oats and seeds to our bird cake mixture. All boys were effective contributors taking part in making these bird cakes.
Anthony sneaked more raisins in his mouth than he put in the mixture!
We then went and placed them in our sensory garden, the birds will have a good dinner tonight.
The Beech class delivered a special Robert Burns assembly last week. We played Scottish themed games, had a Robert Burns quiz and dramatised the story of Tam o’ Shanter for our audience! We were confident individuals as we all took on a special role for our drama exercise and remembered our steps.
The daisies have enjoyed looking at photos of our families, and have created our own family trees to show the members of our family.
