This week the Stars class have learnt about Fairtrade and made tasty mars bar cake for the Willowbank Bake Off. We heard about Pablo the Banana and his banana journey. On Friday we played Fairtrade games in the hall with the Sungazers and Moonbeams and enjoyed a Monkey Hunt. On outings we sourced produce with the Fairtrade logo on.
The Stars class did lots of LGBT activities this week. We read the book, ‘Together’, and discussed friendship. We explored different families and how to be a good friend then chose what activities we would most like to do with our friends. Parachute games was very popular! We created rainbow flags, a friendship poster and made rainbow cakes at HE. On Purple Friday we had a showcase of our learning in the hall where we showed a video of us singing, ‘I Love You’.
The Stars Class brought the outside in this week. we built a snowman in a tote tray and watched him gradually melt and change into water as the day progressed.
We had lots of fun exploring the sensory room this week. We especially liked looking at ourselves in the Magic Mirror.
This week the Stars class have, amongst other things, explored big and small, started music therapy sessions and made star shaped shortbread at HE. A busy start to 2019.
The Stars class rehearsed hard for the school show. We looked at, listened to and practised singing and signing to the songs, ‘When Santa Got Stuck up the Chimney’, ‘Frosty the Snowman’, ‘Silent Night’ and finally ‘Reach For the Stars’. Alongside the Moonbeams and Sungazers classes we dressed up in character and held props to perform.
