Willowbank School, Kilmarnock
The Sunflowers class enjoyed our recent social education outing where we went on the school minibus and drove around Kilmarnock looking at different homes. We looked at the police station and took a picture to compare it to the house PC Plum lives in. We took a picture of a local shop to compare it to Penny Pocket and Suzie Sweet’s shop. We looked for different coloured house just like in Balamory.
We had a special McDonalds Drive Thru treat too!
Thank you to all pupil, parents and staff who donated to our Harvest Table. The Ayrshire (East) Foodbank was very grateful for the huge amount of food we delivered this morning.
* EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS *
In the Stone Age caves, people found evidence of handprints that the cavemen had left. We wanted to create our own hand stencils and did this through working with a partner using paint.

As part of our Flintstones theme, we have been learning about the Stone Age. We enjoyed looking closely at Stone Age caves and were keen to attempt some cave art. The cavemen used to draw pictures on the ceiling of the caves so we replicated this by drawing under our desks. We loved this and were all very engaged.
We dyed our paper using teabags so that it looked old for our wall display.
The Oak Class have been learning about houses and homes. The boys created these super sand pictures using coloured sand from the art room. All of the children participated in making a castle picture and some were able to work independently.
The boys used the class emoji faces to self assess their own work and learning experience. Excellent work from these successful learners!
The Sungazers have been very busy in the art room! The children have created these super 3D wooden spoon pets using a variety of materials.
All of the boys selected their preferred pet from the Promethean Board and re-created it. Most chose to use a range of sensory materials and some of the children were able to work independently.
Excellent results from these successful learners. Well done!
The boys in the Sunflowers class enjoyed some time investigating the various sensory resources in our art room. There is lots to explore!
Check out these super ‘Balamory’ inspired rainbows which were created using coloured sand, stones, glitter and beads.
Well done to these super successful learners!
The Snowdrops have been successful learners experiencing fun water play activities. We all made effective contributions, helping to create colourful bubbles in water and smell different scented liquid soaps.
The Snowdrops have been successfully learning all about Harvest this week and baked some hedgehog bread rolls. All pupils were confident individuals exploring textures and smells of different bread rolls. Everyone made effective contributions to mixing, kneading, smelling and shaping our hedgehog rolls.
