The Stars class practiced hard for our virtual Christmas Showcase. We performed to the song ‘Let it Snow’ by Michael Buble. We brought in hats and scarves and dressed up as snowmen. We created a snowflake backdrop and acted out and signed to the song. We used the parachute to float tissue paper snowballs into the air. Many people said they’d enjoyed our performance.

The Stars class had a lovely Christmas party day. We saw Santa and his trusty elf who gave us all a present and toasted marshmallows. In the afternoon we played party games, pass the parcel, musical statues and corners. We did the hokey cokey, head, shoulders, knees and toes and did dancing to our favourite songs. We enjoyed a tasty party snack too.

We chose a snowman design then drew round our hands to make felt handprints. We cut out and glittered snowflakes, used paper doilies and cotton wool pads to form the body and used pipe cleaners for the nose and hat. We made a colourful pom pom for the hat. Didn’t it turn out well?

We cut out flags and ordered them in size, from largest to smallest.

We actively participated in many St Andrew’s Day activities this week. We did art work, music, sensory handling, a treasure hunt and tasted some Scottish food. We enjoyed the activities very much.

The Stars class have created wonderful craft work to decorate the Willowbank atrium. We have made a colourful snowman wall display and lampshade angel. We have also decorated a wooden snowman as directed by the Transition class. We made tasty cheese and ham toasties at HE and learnt how to make an egg float at science time. We have also been practising hard for the Willowbank virtual Christmas showcase but these photo’s are ‘secret’ for the moment!

We have participated in loads of fun activities for Children in Need. We have made Pudsey ears and a mask as well as a playdoh Pudsey. We have had a duck race, iced Pudsey cakes and enjoyed spotty sensory activities. We thought Children in Need day was a good way to collect money to help other children.

The Stars Class made ‘spinning’ poppies which we used to embellish a Remembrance poster for the classroom door. We made tasty iced poppy biscuits, split pin poppies as well as stopping for a 1 minute silence. We talked about why people buy and wear poppies.

We chose photographs to make a poster depicting good health and well being and ways of keeping safe. We watched a road safety power point, discussed how to safely cross the road and understood the need for road safety.
