Willowbank School, Kilmarnock
Today it was snowing. We enjoyed watching the big flakes falling from the sky at morning group. We bought some snow inside to put in out tuff tray and explored it with our hands. It was very cold we made snow balls and even added some food colouring to change the colour of the snow. In the afternoon we went outside to the playground to explore the snow beneath out feet. We heard it crunch and it was slippy so we had to be very careful.
Yesterday we explored colours. We explored our colour boxes and matched the correct objects to the coloured box. We also matched the coloured fish to the matching coloured bowl. Some of the Bluebells played a game where they rolled the dice and then put the coloured cylinder onto the balancing ladybird. Some also matched the coloured word on the teddy to the correct coloured top and scarf. We also explored coloured shapes and put them into the shape sorter. We also used different coloured crayons to make marks to colour in our 2022 crowns. Today we used lots of different coloured squares to collage on our 2022 numbers.
The Bluebells were all confident individuals and participated in our class Christmas show. Most pupils helped make props for our Christmas show. They were all able to follow instructions and bounce up and down to the music.
I am so proud of them all for their participation and hoped you liked the show.
The Bluebells had lots of fun today. We had a special visit from Santa this morning and his special elf. He gave us all a lovely gift and we also got to toast marshmallows with Mr Nicoll. We were confident individuals getting our picture with Santa and responsible citizens when around the fire toasting marshmallows. All of the children really enjoyed this.
We also had lots of fun at our class Christmas party. We played games like pass the parcel and danced to songs. We loved dancing to the “hokey cokey”. We also jumped on the trampolines and played with balloons. In class we played pin the nose on Rudolph and did some festive bowling. It was a super day.
We had lots of fun in the Bluebells class today.
We got our picture taken in the atrium in front of the the lovely snow scene. We had great fun with out new speaker in soft play and did lots of Christmas jumper crafts. We created our own Christmas jumper used stampers and stickers and also created our own giant Christmas jumper in our tuff tray. We are looking forward to more Christmas crafts next week.
The Bluebells were confident individuals and made sweet chocolate snowman to give home as a gift for Christmas. All pupils placed a glove on the wrapped bar of chocolate as the hat for the snowman. Most pupils can wrapped the chocolate in white paper to make it look like a snowman and some pupils were able draw or stick on eyes, carrot nose and mouth.
We did a Christmas science experiment in class. It was called Santa’s magic milk. They were all able add glitter to the milk. Most pupils were able to use a dropper to add a small amount of food colouring and some pupils can pour the milk into a shallow dish.
We have been creating some artwork relating to our Scottish topic and because it was St Andrew’s day. We ripped up tissue paper to collage the Scottish flag and the centre of a thistle. We then tolerating staff drawing round our hands to create the top of the thistle – it tickled.
We dipped cars into paint and then pushed them along the paper different ways to create our own tartan design.

This week we have had lots of fun exploring letters and sounds. We have been doing lots of “n” crafts this week. We stuck lots of numbers in a big N and made a nurse. They enjoyed using crayons to give her hair, eyes and a mouth. We also enjoyed completing various letter jigsaws and playing a fishing game catching letters with the magnetic rod.
The Bluebells were confident individuals and successful learners while taking part in class activities to learn about Children in Need. We enjoyed the story Pudsey’s Great Fundraiser and engaged well with the sensory props. We got crafty making our own headband to transform us into Pudsey. We enjoyed watching the Children in Need duck race and raced our own ducks down ramps.
