Willowbank School, Kilmarnock*Confident Individuals*Â *Effective Contributors* *Successful Learners*
The Snowdrops have enjoyed learning about the story of St Andrew and creating lots of lovely Scottish crafts. We made Scottish flags by tearing, scrunching and sticking white and blue tissue paper onto our templates.
We also had great fun dipping toy cars into different coloured paints and rolling them in different directions to create our own tartan pictures!
For our SQA Baking Unit this week we worked with eggs and made meringues, we put the egg whites and sugar and the big mixture and whisked them up.
Will the mixture fall out on the bowl????
Working on our Snowman Display.
Making choices and picking our teams for football, we had great fun and scored loads of goals.
We were confident individuals and worked with Karen on our dance moves.
Numeracy fun for these confident individuals during a game of dominoes.

The Stars class have created wonderful craft work to decorate the Willowbank atrium. We have made a colourful snowman wall display and lampshade angel. We have also decorated a wooden snowman as directed by the Transition class. We made tasty cheese and ham toasties at HE and learnt how to make an egg float at science time. We have also been practising hard for the Willowbank virtual Christmas showcase but these photo’s are ‘secret’ for the moment!

We have participated in loads of fun activities for Children in Need. We have made Pudsey ears and a mask as well as a playdoh Pudsey. We have had a duck race, iced Pudsey cakes and enjoyed spotty sensory activities. We thought Children in Need day was a good way to collect money to help other children.
The Transition class were Effective Contributors when they helped make the class Snowman decoration. They chose to model it on the original snowman from the movie ‘The Snowman’. Crepe paper was used to make the nose look like an orange. Some pupils used paint to make cotton balls look like coal. A real group effort.
This week we were looking at the letter E again in literacy, looking at words that beginning with this letter and in art we were successful learners and made a picture of a egg using tissue paper squares and PVA glue.
In SQA Communication we finished our Brown Bear Story, we sorted through the characters again, signed the animals and colours, danced along to the rap, and worked on our colouring books.
Karen was here on Wednesday to do some Indian Dance with us focusing on Animals that started with the letter E – we were very confident individuals and had great fun.
For SQA Numeracy we played a game of ‘Haggis Drive’, as we have started our Scottish Theme, working on our counting skills and drawing in the pieces of the Haggis.
Each class has a paper lantern to decorate to be displayed in the Atrium for Christmas, with our Vice ECO Captain we decided on a very topical theme of Global Warming!!!
Give the Snowman back his hat back!!!
So our Snowman is starting to melt – remember reuse, recycle and reduce!!!
Working on another Christmas Project.
For Children in Need we enjoyed a lovely social snack, had a wee Disco (not as long as Sophie Eliis-Bextor’s!!) And made some dotty Pugsy Faces.
Have a Smashing Weekend Everyone!!!
The Transition class made a start to the school decorations for Christmas. We started forming parts of the snowman’s head so we can assemble it next week and hang it with the other classes’. The class were Effective Contributors.

The Stars Class made ‘spinning’ poppies which we used to embellish a Remembrance poster for the classroom door. We made tasty iced poppy biscuits, split pin poppies as well as stopping for a 1 minute silence. We talked about why people buy and wear poppies.

We were busy doing Diwali activities today. We watched a powerpoint to tell us all about the ‘Festival of Light’ then afterwards made salt dough and used this to create diva lamps. They have yet to be dried and painted but they’re looking good already. We watched Diwali videos and made colourful Rangoli pattern window decorations which looked wonderful with the sun shining through them.

As part of our theme, ‘Cloudy with a chance of meatballs’, we explored different types of clouds, created cloud pictures and did the science experiment, ‘Rain cloud in a jar’. We also enjoyed dancing an umbrella dance.
