Recycled Art

The Eco group recycled an item that would usually be thrown in the bin.  The pencil shavings from sharpened pencils were gathered and then used to create a picture of a tree and a butterfly.

It was a very relaxing and fun activity to create something beautiful from rubbish that would have been thrown away. The boys were effective contributors using items to recycle and creating something new.

There will be a lot more exciting recycling projects happening over the next few weeks, with a Christmas theme.

Sensory Fun!

The Bluebell pupils love to learn in the Sensory Room. They demonstrated that they were successful learners by pressing on the Magic Carpet to select an app. They had great fun pretending they were swimming with sharks, dancing on the squares and being spray painted.

FAOL Whole School Projects – Christmas Tree Wall Display

It’s really beginning to look like Christmas! The Christmas Market is nearly here and the whole school has contributed to decorating our atrium with Christmas trees.  The Snowdrops sponge painted paper bowls and sprinkled lots of green glitter inside them.  Everyone was very confident, painting their hands and stamping print patterns with yellow paint.  We used gold glitter to make our hand prints sparkle and used them to create a star for the top of our tree.  Come and see our tree on Saturday!

FAOL Enterprise – Popcorn Snowmen

The Snowdrops have been very busy making some special bags of popcorn for our Christmas Market.  Everyone had fun listening for the many popping sounds as our popcorn cooked in the microwave.  There was a lovely smell in our room and everyone enjoyed touching or tasting the freshly popped corn.  Lots of effective contributions were made, helping to scoop popcorn into bags and attaching snowmen heads to the top.  Please come and buy our popcorn snowmen!

FAOL – No Poverty – Children in Need

The Snowdrops experienced a variety of activities relating to Children in Need.  Everyone made effective contributions – giving eye-contact to Power Points on the SMARTboard, baking biscuits and decorating with spots, joining all their friends for a spotty snack and following a Pudsey hunt around school.

St Andrew’s Day

This morning we did some preparation for St Andrew’s Day. We made some beautiful St Andrew’s Cross Flags, also known as The Saltire, we hand printed some lovely  thistles. Then we used The Saltire, thistle and St Andrew to help with our Maths work – looking at the biggest to the smallest and putting them in order or selecting the biggest or the smallest shape.

Ain’t No Party Like A Willowbank Party

It’s Monday again and hopefully the Transition boys have had some time to recover over the weekend after the party we had on Friday afternoon for Children in Need. The boys all enjoyed playing games such as ‘Stick the Spots on Pudsey’, ‘Pie Face’ and ‘Twister’. We even had our own little Bounce-a-thon for Children in Need. Best bit of all though was everyone getting their own back at Mr Nicoll on Pie Face.
