Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Stars class have been confident individuals this week as we made lovely cards and gifts for Parent’s Day. Hope you like them! We enjoyed the dry weather by tidying our planter in the garden and planting bulbs. Much digging was done! We had good fun in the playground and playing balloon tennis.
The Stars class were successful learners during science week. We explored many experiments in class (many of them very messy!) and also had a good time on Tuesday when we saw the planetarium, robots, engines and had fun with circuits on our STEM Science Day. We also had a fun Friday for Sports Relief where we took part in corridor activities.
The Transition boy were Effective Contributors this week when they continued some preparation for the end of year prom. The boys spent some time after swimming cutting out box shapes to make dice table decorations.
The Stars class enjoyed World Book Day with lots of activities. We were effective contributors and made shortbread men alongside the story, ‘The Gingerbread Man’. Some of us were confident individuals as we dressed up on World Book Day and enjoyed the story, ‘The Old Toy Room’. We made story masks and explored a selection of old fashioned toys. We made a cup and ball game and enjoyed books we had brought in to share.
The Stars class read the book ‘No Matter What’ for LGBT month. We were all responsible citizens and felt we are all the same no matter what we look like or what our families consist of. We did lots of activities including making rainbow flag cupcakes, rainbow love heart pictures, rainbow hand prints and printed a purple picture of grapes. Our week finished with purple activities in the hall which were great fun.
We all enjoyed a lovely session of Tac-Pac – Adam was so relaxed he fell asleep.
Shannon loves the fanning – this really made her giggle.

We were all successful learners and worked on our SQA Numeracy Unit – adding whole number with the help of the large bricks – Reece confidently helped everyone.
For our SQA Unit Communication – Recognising a Character we read the book ‘The Animal Boogie’ – we all selected our favourite characters, then learned their signs and their noises and a little bit about them.

The Stars class made a recycling poster and discussed how we can recycle at home. We decorated a canvas bag so that we can use it every time we go on outings to save using throw away plastic bags. On a supermarket outing we recycled used batteries from the school.
As part of our Eco topic, Responsible Consumption and Production, we have been making piggy banks out of recyclable materials. All the children really enjoyed painting their bottles.
The Stars class were pleased to be back at school after the February break. We enjoyed Valentine’s Day activities and looked for Fairtrade produce at Morrisons. We also recycled batteries too!
Today we had fun exploring different Scottish traditions and created our own tartan using strips of coloured paper.
