Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Asteroids enjoyed a trip to the garden on Tuesday. It was a lovely day to enjoy bird watching.
We had a list of birds to look for and we talked about whether the birds were big or small and what colours their feathers were. We used binoculars to help us spot birds that were far away.
We weren’t able to spot all the birds on our list but we did see a Blue tit, Magpie and a Sparrow.
Good spotting, Asteroids!
What a sunny day we had to complete our 50 Things outdoor activity. Using a variety of bikes and scooters, we made good attempts to make our wheels turn at speed, using control to go in different directions. Great job, Asteroids!
Yesterday, the Asteroids had lots of fun in the garden playing a game of Hide and Seek. Firstly, we had to choose who was going to look and who was going to hide. When the boys were looking, they did a good job of counting to 20 before going off to find their friends. Then those who were hiding chose places such as behind trees and sheds and even under bushes!
What a lot of fun we had drawing outside with chalk!
We confidently chose our own colours from the box and attempted to make firework pictures.
Some of us even lay down on the ground and let our friends draw round us. We enjoyed looking at our shape on the ground once we stood up.

To make our bug hotel, we recycled our plastic bottles and cut a space in the side. We had to use good looking skills to find different natural materials such as sticks, stones and fir cones, to stack inside our bottles to provide shelter for the bugs.
After finishing our bug hotels, we placed them in the garden to see if any bugs would be attracted to our hotels. We visited a few weeks later and found a few creepy crawlies in our hotels so we were very pleased to have helped the wildlife in our school grounds. Good job, Asteroids!
