Willowbank School, KilmarnockWe worked with the Transition class this morning as we ran a pizza shop style cookery activity. We chose a friend to take an order from then took turns to follow instructions and prepare each order. We were confident workers and effective contributors as we all took our turns and followed instructions.
We were responsible citizens as we learned about the importance of being eco-friendly by completing a variety of activities.

Today is Purple Friday. We are having whole school activities. This morning all the primary classes came together in the hall to share their learning and activities completed about their LGBT book. All classes also shared their song/jingle about family. Some classes shared a video and some classes performed it live. The Sunflowers had made rainbow pizzas and shared this. The Daisies shared similarities and differences from their book Giraffe’s Can’t Dance. The Snowdrops performed their family jingle live with makaton signing. The Bluebells performed their song live. The Sungazers class has symbols to show the audience so we could participate too. The Stars showed a video of their song as some of their friends were on their outing. The Moonbeams had a board to share their learning and have used technology to complete their rainbow flag.
The secondary this morning completed the purple activities in the atrium. Some of the activities included sensory colour find with water beads and purple rice. This was a favourite. The Oak and Transition prepared a purple string art activity which looked amazing. The Sunflowers and Daisies made some purple lacing picture for their friends to enjoy.
Have a look at what we got up to on Purple Friday! We celebrate the LGBT community in style here at Willowbank! We were all very effective contributors this morning, well done!
Some of the Beech class enjoyed a trip to ASDA yesterday on the public bus! We used excellent communication skills to ask for our bus ticket, Finlay used an AAC device to make sure she is understood. We used great money handling skills independently to pay for our ticket and then again to pay for items in the shop. Very responsible citizens on our outing!
We found the colours of the LGBT flag and made a human rainbow!
The Beech class have thoroughly enjoyed our week of LGBT activities. We read a book called ‘Hello, Sailor!’ and took part in lots of different activities. We were very responsible and successful learners as we learned about sometimes difficult concepts.
