Willowbank School, KilmarnockThis afternoon the SQA practical craft class made these fabulous Christmas tree decorations. The boys and girls explored a range of sensory materials in the art room and worked hard to make these eye catching crafts. Well done to these super successful learners!
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS *
The Moonbeams class had to work together during a science challenge. They were given different sized ice balls and had to try and construct a stable iceman which was very difficult! We used salt to help the balls of ice stick together and both teams managed to make an iceman!
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS *
The Moonbeams class had the task of preparing the stations for the St Andrew’s sensory assembly. We made porridge oat play dough, had a Scottish food tasting session and made thistle crafts.

Willowbank School had a recent visit from some friends of Santa Claus. Two reindeer came to the school to visit us and we had fun meeting them and petting them and sitting in a sleigh.

The Moonbeams class began their new theme this week. We read the story ‘Santa is coming to Scotland’ and decided to use Google maps to look at the places Santa visited on his sleigh.
We enjoyed exploring towns and cities in Scotland and pointed out places we recognised like local Tesco stores and libraries.
The Bluebells were confident individuals when they met 2 Reindeers called Pogo and Dasher. They had great fun petting them and sitting in Santa’s Sleigh !
This week we had a sensory assembly all about St Andrew’s day. We tried different Scottish food and we painted our hands and created a class thistle picture. There were different sound boxes which we had to listen to and match to the Scottish character such as Katie Morag, Balamory and The Proclaimers.
Today we made our own Scottish flags using tissue paper and did some fine motor work following the different lines using our pencil.
Yesterday we had a very busy day at school! A sensory assembly for St Andrew’s Day – tasting Scottish food, looking at Scottish pictures, listening to Scottish music and sounds, making thistle hand prints, and playing with porridge paly doh. Then we had cookery and made Lentil Soup… it was yummy!!! Followed by a visit from Santa’s reindeer – we said we were busy!!!
While some pupil went on a rainy day outing, Skye, Dave and Valo enjoyed celebrating St. Andrew’s Day by reading Scottish stories and creating our own tartan kilts whilst listening to traditional Scottish music. The pupil’s were successful learner’s as they followed instructions and listened to the stories.
The Beech girls braved the weather this morning to go on our first independent travel outing on the public bus into town. The girls were very responsible citizens as they looked after their own money and tickets and followed the routines of getting on and off the bus independently.
