Willowbank School, KilmarnockWe had a lovely festive time making Christmas baubles for our family members.
We followed spoken/signed or written instructions and filled one of our baubles with chocolates and one with a photo of each of us wearing a Santa hat.
We also discussed who we might give our fabulous Christmas gifts to.
We were very proud of the lovely gifts we made! I hope our families like them!
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 all had a lovely Friday celebrating Christmas Jumper Day 2021
We were all confident individuals taking part in our class activities which were literacy based with a Christmas jumper theme. Then we enjoyed a mini photo shoot with a photo bomber present!
We had fun this week making our Christmas Enterprise craft, we made hot chocolate Christmas baubles and a cane cane gingerbread person to go along with our hot drink with a marshmallow surprise hidden in the bauble.
We were all confident individuals following the verbal instructions to make our enterprise items.
We were successful learners writing our letters to Santa and then we enjoyed a walk in the sunshine to post them.

We chose a snowman design then drew round our hands to make felt handprints. We cut out and glittered snowflakes, used paper doilies and cotton wool pads to form the body and used pipe cleaners for the nose and hat. We made a colourful pom pom for the hat. Didn’t it turn out well?

We cut out flags and ordered them in size, from largest to smallest.

The Snowdrops enjoyed creating a ‘Do You Want To Build A Snowman?’ Christmas gift to send home today.
Pupils were able to select marshmallows, tic tacs, matchmaker sticks and chocolate drops to put into the gift bag. We also were able to count out the correct amounts for each bag and develop our fine motor skills in the process too.
We all had great fun making these gifts and hope our families enjoy receiving them too.
We have been in the festive spirit in the Oak for a few weeks now. Everyone has been confident individuals during our class performance rehearsals.
We have been taking part in a variety of different Christmas arts and crafts.
Everyone is looking very proud of their art work, and rightly so, successful learners all round.
There was punching and boxing going on in the Transition class this week. It wasn’t a sudden outbreak of violence though, don’t worry! The class were Confident Individuals when they were using a die cutter to punch out box shapes and then fold them into a gift to take home. A lot of personal choice went into the colour and patterns used to make the finished product. No sneak previews though, you’ll have to wait until Christmas!
