Willowbank School, KilmarnockWe having been exploring different toy fruit and vegetables and being doing some role play. We have been pretending to be the shop keeper and a customer and weighing different fruit and vegetables. We have been comparing them seeing which is heavier. We were all confident individuals and able to choose different things to put on each side of the scales to see which is heavier.

In our SQA Communication Unit, we listened to the ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What can you see?’ story and the rap again and chose your favourite animal – although some of us just could not decide!
We listened to the Singing Hands telling the story and practised our Makaton signs.
Mrs Mac organised a great activity for Diwali, we made clay elephants with jewels, the clay feels lovely to work with , a great sensory experience and good for exercising our hands.

Have a great weekend everyone.
The Comets have settled in well after the holidays and have been happy to see all of their friends.
As part of our theme work we have continued to enjoy the story of Fantastic Mr Fox- we are nearly at the end of the story!
The children have been successful learners this week and have produced wanted posters for Mr Fox. First, we created and wrote a description of Mr Fox and the crimes he has committed. Secondly, we followed a step by step tutorial to create our own drawing of Mr Fox for our posters. All of the children had fantastic listening and i’m sure you will all agree, produced some amazing work!
Have a lovely weekend,
From the Comets ladies.
Our theme is Oliver’s vegetables. We have been learning about the different vegetables and some of the children are able to identify what each vegetable is using their words or symbols. We explored the vegetables, put them in basin, washed them and then carefully with physical support from staff were able to cut some of the vegetables. We enjoyed smelling, feeling and on occasion tasting some of them.
The children were able to confidently hold the knife with support from the staff to cut up the vegetables from the story. We then used the cut up vegetables to make some artwork in the afternoon. We printed using them. We looked at the different patterns and textures it created on the page. It was great fun.

Today we were confident individuals and chose different art medias to ‘invent’ our own sweets as part of our theme work.
We watched a clip of ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ for inspiration, then were successful learners and created our own designs.
Yesterday, we had lots of fun collecting recycled resources and using these to make our own version of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate factory.
We were confident individuals and make choices about where we wanted to stick different materials, then had lots of fun painting our finished factory.

The Daisies class enjoyed some fine motor skills activities linked to our Oliver’s Vegetables theme. We practised our overwriting using themed worksheets, we used play dough to make a range of vegetable shapes, we moved frozen peas using pegs and we completed an “I spy” task that required really good looking at a theme picture to find the objects.
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *
The Daisies class really enjoyed today’s theme related activity. We used a range of vegetables to make a Mr Potato Head. We made choices of what vegetables to use for different body parts and are excited to show them off to our friends in the Infant Corridor.

The Daisies class enjoyed exploring carrots. We used a knife to chop some carrot tops and put them in shallow dishes with wet cotton balls. We are hoping to grow some green carrot stalks!
We also used carrots as a writing tool and practised our overwriting.

The Daisies class enjoyed painting using bubble wrap. They loved exploring this material with their fingers and used it to create carrots.
