Willowbank School, Kilmarnock* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS *
The Daisies class enjoyed playing a pair shopping game. Each shopper was given a shopping list and had to hunt around the classroom looking for their items. Once they had everything in their basket, they had to go to the cashier and pay for their shopping.
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS *
The Daisies class loved exploring themed sensory trays today. We explored a range of vegetables in soil. We also used a peeler and peeled carrots and potatoes and explored their skins. Finally, we washed the muddy vegetables and had discussions over which vegetables floated in water and which sank.

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.
Confident Individuals Successful Learners
The Moonbeams have loved learning about food this week through our new theme, Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs. The children have been practicing Makaton signs for days of the week and food in order to help them choose and create a weekly menu. They all looked delicious!
The children had great fun during a sensory food lesson. They were using various types of utensils and their hands to explore and play with both cooked and dry spaghetti, rice and mashed potato!
Take a look at our photos.
For numeracy this term the Comets have been exploring information handing. We have been confident individuals when asking our peers questions to collect data and used tally marks to record and count up the totals. We were successful learners when identifying and selecting the correct information from a bar chart.
We have been learning all about Goldilocks and the three bears.
We looked at the different sized bowls, beds and chairs and matched them to the correct bear. It was lots of fun and then we made beds for each of the bears in the story. One was a BIG bed for Daddy bear, one was a small bed for baby and and one was medium sized bed for Mummy bear. Some of the children were able to tell me which chair, bowl and bed Goldilocks preferred.
We have had confident individuals in the Oak class this week, we have been assessing our knowledge in numeracy and literacy.
We have participating actively in time telling activities, using analogue and digital time.
We were effective contributors when we played ‘Tale as Old as Time’ from Beauty and the Beast.
