Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Sunflowers had a wonderful time at the Christmas party and all looked lovely in their outfits. We even had a special visit from Santa. Some of the class opened their gifts and they received a book and selection box. 
Here is our Twelve Days of Christmas video, with our friends from other schools across East Ayrshire.
The Stars Class enjoyed a visit to The Garage where we played a fun filled game of 10 Pin bowling. We even managed a few strikes!
Today we all wore our Christmas jumpers. Everyone had a different Christmas jumper on. We designed our own Christmas jumpers using stickers and had lots of different Christmas materials and objects in the tuff tray to design our own Christmas jumpers too. In the afternoon we joined with the Daisies and had a fun afternoon making sock snowmen, watching a Christmas film and helping to make a gingerbread house. It was a wonderful day.
The Sunflowers have been very busy making Christmas crafts. We made our own Christmas cards using strips of coloured paper.
At cookery we made trees using cones and used icing to make melted snowman biscuits.
We were very lucky yesterday and Santa came to school to visit all the classes. He was in the sensory room and all the classes got to go and see him. We all put on Santa hats etc and stood next to Santa to get a picture.
All the children seemed to really enjoy seeing Santa and received a sensory present. We were all confident individuals and all stood next to Santa.
We had lots of fun applying our home economics skills to make some salt dough ornaments.
We added ingredients to the bowl, stirred them together and rolled out the dough. We also chose our favourite shaped cutter to press into the dough.
So Christmas is well underway in Willowbank, Anthony was responsible for starting our concert costumes.
There has been a lovely atmosphere in the class this week, lots of fun interaction between everyone.
Everyone was effective contributors when decorating the classroom. Christmas is about giving and making people smile, so we have started making nice gifts to take home.
