The Snowdrops had fun this morning decorating biscuits and cake. We used lots of icing, sweets and jam to create our own faces on biscuits and then we drizzled lots of icing over a swiss roll to make our own version of Colin the Caterpillar! Have a look at our photos!

Confident Individuals/Effective Contributors

A big hello from all the new Snowdrops!  We have been very busy making new friends and becoming confident in our new class and school environment.  We have enjoyed playing and sharing with lots of new toys and activities.

Well Snowdrops  as I write this post I’m feeling so proud of you all and how well you did to finish the school year in such a strange way. I speak for all the ladies when I say we have missed all your smiley faces each and every day. But the good news is all of you will be getting a social distance visit this week from Mrs Brown, Mrs Johnstone or Miss Taylor with an end of term gift from the school and class .
In August everything will be very different for all of us in school but please don’t worry about it as you will all be very safe as always in Willowbank .
For most a new class but familiar staff will be there to help you learn.

So from today check out the blog as I made a video of you all working so hard and doing all the things we love at school.

Something you could do during the holidays Is make ice cream . Have put a link to an easy recipe for you to try .

Something else fun to try and also show the importance of sunscreen is painiting with sun cream on dark paper

Well snowdrops that’s it for session 2019/2020. One that none of us will ever forget. Mrs Brown and Myself wish you all the very best when August comes and am sure you will continue to grow in confidence and develop all your skills you have been learning even further . It has been a great pleasure having you in class and watching your personalities develop . I thought we would sign off in usual Snowdrops fashion with a song .
Hope the sun shines and you all have some summer fun and adventures

take care and best wishes

Miss Kelly , Mrs Brown and the snowdrops ladies

Hi Snowdrops

I hope you’re all having fun doing outdoor activities as part of POLO day and Den day.  The ladies in the Snowdrops Room have also been making dens in their gardens or indoors.  We thought you might like to see them.  If you get the chance, send us a photo of yours!  Have fun, stay safe.

 

This week in school would have been our POLO week ,where we take our learning outdoors without the use of electricity or technology.

Polo day runs along with save the children Den day so for your first activity this week I want you to get creative and build a den inside ( if wet ) or outside .. use chairs , blankets , tables anything you can think of .
Here are some examples

 

 

Once you have built your den do something fun like read a story in it , or have a picnic

Activity 2

If you decide to have a picnic maybe you could make a sandwich to eat , or get creative and turn your fruit into a picture .

Activity 3
I would like you do do some art using materials from your garden , you can make anything you like .. I asked the ladies in the class to make some pictures as examples so let’s see if you can guess what Mrs Collins , Mrs Johnstone and Miss Taylor made .

Last task this week is to take your shoes and socks off and try walking on grass .. did you like it ? How did it make you feel ?

If you try any or all then as always we have loved seeing your photos so send them in . Have fun

 

 

 

 

Hi Snowdrops,

We have had a lot of lovely sunshine and this can be a great time for some fun science activities.  All the Snowdrops ladies are going to help you with this idea.  Let’s explore what melts in the sun!

We have found some foods for you to test but you can choose lots of different things.

Take small pieces of food and place them on a tray, leave your foods out in the sunshine and keep checking to see what happens.

Enjoy some science in the sun but only if you get time.  Take care Snowdrops, we miss you.

Hello everyone hope your all doing well . I can’t believe it’s been so long since we seen you all . You are all doing so well and I’m sure your enjoying all the time your having with your family ( but secretly looking forward to getting back to school )

This weeks tasks are listed below
Activity 1

In the snowdrops we love a song for any occasion, so I thought it’s time to practice our number songs

Singing  hands -Three little monkeys https://youtu.be/mZBZ8J1R_yU

Five little ducks

Ten in the bed

Activity 2

This activity is all about colours . I want you to have a look about and find lots of items of different colours maybe choice red , yellow , blue and green and then sort them so the same colours are all together . A good colour sort activity is lego bricks or pegs for hanging out the washing . Have a go see what you can find

Activity 3

We have enjoyed this activity in class before and thought you might like to do it at home . It’s sensory bags . Easy to make and no mess but lots of fun .
All you need is

ziplock bag

tape

water

oil

food colouring

into the bag add about 1/4 bag of oil ( baby or vegetable oil is fine)

next add some food colouring

then  1/4 bag again of water

now zip it closed fold over and  tape That edge so no leaks .

You can also add glitter if you like some sparkle .
Raid the craft box and make some of your own , water or hair gel works well with Pom poms , sequins or pick something and try it out .
A really simple one is to add shaving foam to the bag , you can use this to practice your letters or numbers or just make some patterns.

Have a good week Snowdrops and remember your photos if you can . We would love to see how your Peter rabbit plants are coming on .
