Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Transition class took a break from rehearsing out Xmas show this week and just danced to keep moving and improve fitness. We had use of all the equipment and moved our bodies in many different ways. The whole class listened to Mrs Feeney very well and were Effective Contributors to each dance routine. A favourite was the wings, just a shame we couldn’t really fly!

The Stars class have created wonderful craft work to decorate the Willowbank atrium. We have made a colourful snowman wall display and lampshade angel. We have also decorated a wooden snowman as directed by the Transition class. We made tasty cheese and ham toasties at HE and learnt how to make an egg float at science time. We have also been practising hard for the Willowbank virtual Christmas showcase but these photo’s are ‘secret’ for the moment!

The Snowdrops had great fun on Friday for Children in Need. We made Pudsey spotty biscuits, Pudsey hats and enjoyed finger painting a bandana.

We have participated in loads of fun activities for Children in Need. We have made Pudsey ears and a mask as well as a playdoh Pudsey. We have had a duck race, iced Pudsey cakes and enjoyed spotty sensory activities. We thought Children in Need day was a good way to collect money to help other children.
Whilst some of the class were out on community travel, those left behind continued the Christmas display work. They were Effective Contributors when they all worked together making snowy backgrounds, white wooden snowman heads and decorated Christmas trees. They were using fake snow which even got hoovered up to ensure the class was alltidy and presentable.
The Transition class were Effective Contributors when they helped make the class Snowman decoration. They chose to model it on the original snowman from the movie ‘The Snowman’. Crepe paper was used to make the nose look like an orange. Some pupils used paint to make cotton balls look like coal. A real group effort.

The Sungazers have had a fantastic day raising awareness for Children in Need. We learned about why we raise awareness and money to help those in need. We looked at different ways we could make a difference & what makes us special! Here’s some snapshots from our class activities:
Have a great weekend everyone!
The Transition class made a start to the school decorations for Christmas. We started forming parts of the snowman’s head so we can assemble it next week and hang it with the other classes’. The class were Effective Contributors.
The Transition class were hard at work rehearsing for their Christmas performance. They were all Effective Contributors listening to the music and following instructions. Numeracy skills were called upon to count steps. No clues yet to what our theme is!

We quickly learnt that a single strand of spaghetti is very weak and breaks easily. However, if you place them closely packed together they form a strong bond. They are stronger bundled together horizontally rather than vertically.
