The Bluebells class enjoyed sourcing materials outdoors. We found sticks, leaves and pine cones and used them to create a house shape. We really enjoyed working together and were happy with our final result.

The Bluebells class went a walk to Scotmid to buy some snacks today. We used Google Maps on Miss Gemmell’s phone and followed the route to get us to the shop.

The Bluebells class have been doing lots of activities related to our theme story ‘Thistle Street’. One of the characters in the story is Agnes Auld and she is a cleaner.
Today we had a roleplay session taking on the job of Agnes Auld. We tried hovering, mopping dusting with a feather duster and washing the dishes.
We all tolerated trying these jobs and then reflected on what was our favourite and what was our least favourite.

The Bluebells class had a fun bus outing today. We went for some chips at McDonalds Drive Thru and then went a drive around Kilmarnock looking at different styles of houses. We had been reading our theme story ‘Thistle Street’ and tried to find similar houses and buildings. We found bungalows, flats, semi-detached houses, houses with garages, schools and churches.

The Bluebells class enjoyed learning about New Year traditions today. We experienced a countdown and greeted our friends a Happy New Year. We also watched clips of the fireworks at Edinburgh Castle and the 2020 drone show in Shanghai.
Finally, we made some new year resolutions for 2020 and had fun making New Year selfies.

This term, we are looking at the global goal Quality Education. We looked closely at our school. We recognised our school badge and made an attempt at drawing this.
We also looked at all of the activities and specialist rooms we have in Willowbank School and sorted them into activities that made us happy or sad.
As a class we ALL agreed that we love coming to Willowbank School and think that it is great!

The Bluebells enjoyed a game of ‘Reindeer Toss’ this morning. We wore reindeer headbands and took turns trying to toss hoops onto the antlers. This was lots of fun!
