Willowbank School, KilmarnockWe were confident individuals and effective contributors at our Christmas Party. We played corners, pass the parcel, the Hokey Cokey, Statues and had lots of dancing. We had a lovely party snack time where we enjoyed the melting snowman biscuits we’d made. A great time was had by all, especially as we saw Santa too!
Yesterday we had a special visit from Santa. He came to the playground and gave each us a sack full of presents for all the friends in the Bluebells class.
We were all dressed smartly for our class Christmas party. We danced and played games and had lots fun. We were confident individuals and danced with our peers and were able to freeze and become statues with the music stopped. We were able to pass the parcel to our peers and pull off one layer when the music stopped until last layer when the winner opened a book.
We did an experiment with candy canes. We placed the candy canes in different liquids and observed to see what happened. We used symbols and made predictions about what would happen then observed to see what the results were.
Today we made Christmas cards. We painted our feet and added antlers to make them look like a reindeer we then added baubles using out fingers.
We also worked on size ordering, ordering different strips of green paper to make a Christmas tree. We used our fingers to add lights and then added glitter to look like tinsel. We had great fun with lots of smiles. We were all confident individuals putting our fingers in the paint and placing them on the paper.

We have been effective contributors creating Christmas art and craft work to take home. We completed a Christmas tree wall decoration, created colourful ‘stained glass’ bauble pictures and made salt dough baubles. We also practiced Christmas party dancing and were successful learners when we successfully tried a magnetic Christmas bottle science experiment.
The Transition boys were Confident Individuals whilst rehearsing for their Christmas Show. Each boy signed their lines successfully! Can you guess from the pictures what our song is??
Buddy has been up to no good!!!
The School Show was a great success we all loved being dressed up – we were STARS!!!!
