Willowbank School, Kilmarnock
The pupils in the Bluebells were effective contributors today as they all took part in a variety of activities for Red Nose Day. The children wore something red and donated money. They also took part in a variety of group and sensory activities. The pupils contributed by making Information posters about Red Nose Day which they took home to share with their families.
We all came together this afternoon to have a fun Red Nose Party! Every class was an effective contributor and each took the lead on a game.
We had a red nose relay race, large red ball dodge ball, clear the court with a red nose twist, parachute team work game and biscuit decorating.
A great time was had by all and we enjoy all coming together for special events. We all take part in our own way.
Sean was the well deserved Dodge ball Champion!
The Sungazers enjoyed participating in a variety of Comic Relief activities – Effective Contributors.
The Secondary department have had a wonderful day raising money and awareness for Comic Relief. We joined together for our community café this morning where classes brought themed cakes for us to sell and eat. This afternoon we joined together again for a games afternoon and party!
We were all confident individuals as we all joined in and took part. 
The Sungazers participated in Comic Relief fundraising to help reduce inequalities. The children enjoyed designing their own red noses and made a super Comic Relief poster.
The daisies have been exploring lots of different aspects of science throughout the week. We have been successful learners and have used observation and investigating to explore chemical reactions, sounds and vibrations, forces and parts of a plant.
Today was Red Nose Day. Some of the boys came in wearing red. We watched the YouTube video “put a nose on it” by Singing Hands. We went to the atrium with all the other infant classes and had a dance. We played Red Nose Day corners with the different Disney characters on the t-shirts and also had an nose and spoon race. The boys also tried on Red Nose Day glasses and a nose.
Skittles science
We have been exploring science materials all week. This afternoon we put a small layer of water into the bottom of some white plates. Some of children lined the skittles around the plate and waited patiently for the colour to run to create our own rainbow art as the colour runs from the skittles. We also used some M&Ms to see the difference in the colours.
We have been doing lots of science experiments for science week this week. on Monday it was science day and the boys went around different experiment stations through the school which included making our own lava lamps, rocket launchers, lego volcanos and blowing a balloon with baking soda.
In class we have enjoyed doing science experiments a balloon powered hovercrafts, bouncy eggs and using different items to see if they would float or sink.
We have had such a fun day raising awareness for Red Nose Day.
Jack and Blake were very confident individuals serving all their customers during café. Great communication skills and it was always service with a smile.
Anthony listened to Blake asking him a question and responded by using makaton without being asked to, it was a lovely moment.
Blake is fantastic at cleaning up after everyone, he didn’t miss a crumb!
Angus has had a fantastic week and has been a confident individual when interacting with his peers. Angus even came to into the lunch hall to enjoy his haggis, this was the first time in a long long time.
