In art we have been working on a Loch Ness Monster using lots of different materials with different textures.

Shannon went exploring outside the classroom and visited the Moonbeams!

We have been working well on our Numeracy this week.

Reece has been very successful in her own learning and has also been helping other in the class too.

Shannon enjoyed some floor time and while carrying out some SQA work, ‘Recognising a Character in Fiction’. We have been watching the film ‘Inside Out’ and looking at how each character is different and which one we like best!!

Sensory Water Fun.

Lots of Numeracy!!!

We enjoyed using the mobile magic carpet and using light toys in the dark tent. It was great fun.

Lickable Wallpaper

As part of our Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theme we made ‘lickable wallpaper’ just like in Willy Wonka’s factory. We used ‘Fruit Winders’ to make patterned wallpaper which we were able to lick. It tasted of strawberries and apples.

The Stars class made ice cream by shaking a zipped bag of milk, sugar and cocoa powder within a zipped bag of ice and salt. We were amazed how quickly ice cream formed. It tasted delicious.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

The Stars class visited CC’s Chocolate Creations in Kilmarnock to watch the owner, Carol, make fantastic chocolate bars and shapes. Carol invited us to dip marshmallows in melted chocolate. They smelled and tasted delicious. As Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is our theme this term we bought not a golden ticket but a golden bar of chocolate for class. Yum! The rest of the class will visit CC’s Chocolate Creations on our next allocated bus day.

Macmillan Day

The Stars class made mars bar cake which we sold in school for Macmillan Day. There was only one piece left………….and that didn’t last long back in class! We are proud to say we made £9.90 to donate to the appeal. We participated in Friday afternoon activities. We iced biscuits, created a colourful cupcake picture, made a fizzing green volcano and enjoyed sensory handling. A great afternoon was had by all.

Fantastic Fun Day

The Stars class had a fantastic time at the Friends of Willowbank Fun Day. Thanks to the Brass and Granite who gifted picnic boxes which we enjoyed at snack time. They were very tasty indeed. We met beautiful therapy ponies, had fun activities in the hall and petted gorgeous guinea pigs, rabbits, very noisy ducks and a tortoise. We had a very happy day.
