Willowbank School, KilmarnockThis week is national maths week and we have been busy bees doing lots of different maths activities. We were using the fine motor threading bears and buttons. We were using our funky fingers and were discussing the different colours of the buttons.
We also used tissue paper and laminate sheets to create our own number maths for our colourful sensory table.
On Thursday we had a number hunt around the school looking for numbers that were stuck up around the halls.
We continued to work on building positive relationships with peers and staff in the Sunflowers. We all brought in a piece of fruit to be added to our friendship fruit salad. We sat around the table touching the different fruits to feel the different textures. We then all took a turn at preparing the fruit peeling and cutting it. We then places the bowls in the middle of the table and were able to choose some to eat. We took lots of pictures and these are displayed outside our classroom on the wall.
This has been a busy start to the new school year, for some it is their first time coming to Willowbank school and they have settled in well.
The first couple of weeks were about settling into a new routine. We took our picture with our 1st day of school frame and sent them home for our parents to see and keep.
We also kept our fingers busy with some fine motor skills activities.
