Willowbank School, Kilmarnock* CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *
As part of our Flintstones theme, we have been learning about the Stone Age. We enjoyed looking closely at Stone Age caves and were keen to attempt some cave art. The cavemen used to draw pictures on the ceiling of the caves so we replicated this by drawing under our desks. We loved this and were all very engaged.
We dyed our paper using teabags so that it looked old for our wall display.

The Moonbeams class found out who Willowbank School’s favourite Flintstones character is. We sent voting slips around all the classes, counted the results and showed these in a bar chart.
Bam-Bam and Pebbles got the most votes and are the most popular characters.

The Moonbeams Maths group were working hard on their addition skills. We used bean bags and hula hoops to make the sums visual and participated in pair games.

The Moonbeams class enjoyed our recent social education outing where we went on the school minibus and drove around Kilmarnock looking at different homes. We found modern houses, red sandstone houses, bungalows and flats. We compared them to the Stone Age cave homes we have looked at during our theme.
We did such a good job pointing out different homes that we had a special McDonalds Drive Thru treat!

As a class, we have been looking closely at what makes a good friend. We watched short animated clips of different characters and had to state whether we thought they were good friends or not.
We also looked at different images and stated whether the image shown would make a good friend or a not so good friend. We completed this task really well.

The Moonbeams class have begun learning about a few families living during the Stone Age. Their names are the Flintstones and the Rubbles. We have enjoyed watching short clips to introduce us to the characters and have learned all of their names and can sort them into the correct family trees.

This week, we have looked closely at dangers and hazards within a home. We looked at animations of dangers within the kitchen and then played an online game where we had to explore different rooms in a house and find all the hazards.
We loved doing this and have been pointing out hazards like plug sockets and fire warning signs within our classroom and school environment.

The Moonbeams class enjoyed exploring the outdoors for a range of materials from our sensory garden. We gathered sticks, leaves, twigs, stones and pine cones. We were given the challenge of working together to form the numbers 0-10. We managed to complete this by working effectively in pairs and as a team.
