Willowbank School, Kilmarnock
The Comets were successful learners by listening carefully to instructions to a recipe, we were also able to find the Fairtrade logo on the chocolate bars. We then created these delicious Fairtrade banana and chocolate breakfast bites.
We worked hard to peel and chop our bananas and of course we had fun trying all of the yummy Fairtrade chocolate!

The Planets class loved our Humpty Dumpty themed science eggs-periment! We had to choose a material to place inside our zip lock bag that we thought would keep Humpty Dumpty safe.
We predicted whether the egg would stay whole or crack before each “fall” and then reported our findings.
We had lots of fun!

The Planets class looked closely at the Willowbank school staff. We matched a range of staff photographs (using colour and black and white images).
We also went on a “hide and seek” hunt around the class to find a range of school staff, then we drew a line identifying the staff name to the correct photograph.
We also discussed where we would find certain staff members – would it be in the school office, a classroom, the dinner hall etc.

The Planets class enjoyed a team building challenge. We set Levi 15 seconds to build a tower using 20 blocks. He found this very tricky and kept running out of time.
He decided to ask True to help. They still ran out of time. Then Chloe offered to help too. The tower was getting bigger but they were still running out of time.
Mrs Vernon, Miss Jones and Mrs McInally all helped too and finally with the help of a team, we beat the timer and built the tower of 20 blocks.
This year was a little different to our usual. We dressed up in costumes and did our nativity story in class. We all got to choose a character and put it on in front of our big stable on our board. We listened to the story and followed some instructions moving to the correct place at the correct time. We did lots of other Christmas activities in class to that will added together to create a video for our parents to view.We enjoyed taking part in lots of different Christmas activities throughout December. We created a Christmas showcase to share with our families and enjoying watching the finished showcase in class too.
We had lots of fun creating Christmas gifts for our families throughout December.
We were effective contributors and sourced the supplies needed for each of our gifts. We then carefully shared out the supplies to ensure that all our peers could create a gift using the resources we had gathered.
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.
