Willowbank School, KilmarnockWe have been Responsible Citizens and have been collecting recyclable items from home and bringing them into school so that we can use them as part of our theme work. We have been turning our ‘junk’ items into our own model village, complete with a church, a supermarket, and a few different styles of house too.
We worked very independently coming up with our own ideas and making our own choices!
We have been watching the seasons change as part of our morning group and have enjoyed collecting leaves, watching how these change colour over time. We were Successful Learners and displayed the data we had collected in a pictograph.
We have been learning all about different kinds out houses that people might live in through our theme ‘A Squash and a Squeeze’.
We have spent time in the sensory garden looking at all the different kinds of houses we could see. We were successful learners and could point to different kinds of houses and could remember some of the name too!
The Stars Class created colourful rockets at art then used a balloon to make a rocket which shot across the classroom. It moved really fast and was very noisy.

All the boys were successful learners when completing their listening comprehension tasks. There has been great improvement over the seven lessons.
The boys were all effective contributors when coming together to make haggis bon bons. They all enjoyed tasting their hard work. Jack was excellent at reading the recipe to the boys. Everyone worked hard at completing the cooking tasks as independently as possible.
We had great fun this morning making our own firework display! We used paint, glue and glitter to make different shapes after hearing a sensory story about all about bonfire night. We took turns to make marks and choose the patterns and colours. We were very effective contributors.
The Beech class are learning how to look after ourselves during different personal care routines. We experienced the different smells and textures of some products and then thought about which part of the body we would use them on and when. We were all effective contributors as we took turns to go through out toiletry bags and place the products in the right place.
We had lots of fun this month taking part in a green social snack to raise awareness for McMillan Cancer Support. We sat with all our friends in the infant corridor and enjoying trying lots of green snacks!
The Bluebells enjoyed learning how to move cars with just a balloon and a straw. The pupils had great fun exploring the items used and were effective contributors while carrying out the experiment. The children were very pleased and excited when they were able to make the car move.
