The infants had lots of fun this morning doing some MOVE activities in the playground. We started with a warm up to some music led by Mrs Hendry. We had to do some stretches along with some other movements. We then made a huge conga line and went round all the picnic benches – it was great fun. We then played a game of tails. We each had a tail tucked into our trousers or sleeve and we had to move around and try and steal the tails from our friends. Everyone really enjoyed this game and were interacting with all their peers in the infant corridor. Miss Stalker showed us some mainland yoga poses that we could copy – a favourite was the cow pose. We then played an animal dice game and had to copy the movement once we had thrown the dice. It was a super morning and everyone had fun.

FAOL – whole school – Sports Day
Today was a super day for all in Willowbank School.
We brought our chairs to the playground and sat ready for it to begin. We competed in a flat race, novelty race and a relay race.
They all actively participated taking part in each race. For the novelty race they had to run with a hoop and put the hoop on a cone the pick up a bean back and put it in another hoop then run to the finish line. Great fun was had by all.
Easter fun
Yesterday we had lots of fun when the animals came to visit. We were confident individuals and sat well petting the animals. They loved watching at the animals explored their pen. They also watched as the animals ate their food.
Today we followed picture clues around the garden and playground and looked for eggs. We found 5 eggs and put them in our baskets. At the last clue we found the Easter bunny and he gave us a chocolate egg.
Red Nose Day
On Friday we had lots of Red Nose Day fun. We were confident individuals and tolerated trying the red nose on our own nose.
We decorated cakes to make them look like faces by adding edible eyes, mouth, ears and a big red nose in the centre. We also decorated a nose with red collage materials to show at our virtual corridor meeting in the afternoon.
In the afternoon we went on a red nose hunt in the garden trying to find all the different noses and mark them off on our sheet. We also joined a TEAMS meeting with the other classes to share our Red Nose Day. We enjoyed seeing our peers on the screen and interacting with them.
We also did a red food tasting session trying lots of different red foods and we circled the faces to show wether we liked or disliked each different item.
Chinese New Year
We celebrated Chinese New Year on Tuesday. This year is the year of the tiger we created some tiger bunting for our board by colouring in a tiger picture and we created a tiger face using different pieces of paper. The children were confident individuals looking at the image on the board and then using the pieces to create their own face.
We cleaned the classroom, made lanterns and used black and orange icing to crate tiger faces on biscuits.
FAOL – Whole school
The Bluebells were all confident individuals and participated in our class Christmas show. Most pupils helped make props for our Christmas show. They were all able to follow instructions and bounce up and down to the music.
I am so proud of them all for their participation and hoped you liked the show.
Halloween fun
This week has been lots of fun in the Bluebells class. We have created many Halloween crafts and had lots of fun at our class Halloween party today.
We carved pumpkins and had lots of fun exploring the insides – touching and smelling them. We made peekaboo cats with chalk which are being displayed outside our classroom. We made spooky cauldrons with lots if different coloured glitter and sequins. The children were confident individuals at choosing their own glitter and sequins for the spooky potion inside the cauldron. We also made pumpkins for the window. We chose different tissue paper to put inside the pumpkin shape and them we laminated them. We put them on out windows in the classroom.
* CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS *
The Daisies class were all very confident individuals and came into school dressed in Halloween costumes. We loved showing them off to our friends and joining in with the virtual parade.
FAOL whole school
We have been enjoying seeing lots of different faces at assembly over the past few months. We join virtual and Mr Campbell shares information with us. This week we were learning some Halloween signs and dancing to a spooky Halloween song. We all sit and listen during assembly and are able to join in by copying the signs and joining in with the dances. We also have a star of the week each week and that person is a confident individual comes to the front to collect their certificate and share the good news with the whole school.
Harvest
This week we have been learning about Harvest. We were confident individuals and joined the whole school assembly on Wednesday virtually.
We made ourselves into scarecrows by colouring in a picture and adding our picture to the face.
We were also confident individuals playing a game of pin the carrot on the scarecrow. Some were able to tolerate the mask covering their eyes it was great fun.
