Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Stars class read the book ‘No Matter What’ for LGBT month. We were all responsible citizens and felt we are all the same no matter what we look like or what our families consist of. We did lots of activities including making rainbow flag cupcakes, rainbow love heart pictures, rainbow hand prints and printed a purple picture of grapes. Our week finished with purple activities in the hall which were great fun.
The Stars class were pleased to be back at school after the February break. We enjoyed Valentine’s Day activities and looked for Fairtrade produce at Morrisons. We also recycled batteries too!
The Stars class had fun creating paper boats and checking whether they would float or not. Thankfully they did! We will take our boating pond outside in the better weather. We enjoyed Burns activities this week making oatcakes and a Robert Burns silhouette picture. The Scottish songs were good too.
The Stars class invited the Sungazers class for a golden ticket treasure hunt. As it was raining we had to have it indoors but nevertheless we had a fun time. We made tasty chocolate crispie cake to serve for snack.
We had our second visit to CC’s Chocolate Creations where owner Carol warmly welcomed us. We saw all the chocolate creations she’d made and enjoyed dipping marshmallows in melted chocolate. Yum! We used our new eco bag when shopping.
The Stars class ground wheat to show how flour is made then baked a tasty loaf of bread which we enjoyed for snack. We collected groceries for the Harvest assembly which was then donated to the local food bank.
The Stars class used potatoes and onions we grew in the garden to make vegetable soup at H.E. We worked really hard to prepare and chop the vegetables. It tasted delicious.
The Stars Class had a week full of Easter activities. We made, and ate!, Easter egg shaped pizza’s, decorated eggs for rolling, created an Easter card and Jelly Bean Bunnies and made chocolate nests to send home. We met spring lambs and explored the different ways people celebrate Easter.
We mixed together melted chocolate and cornflakes to create yummy Easter nests complete with a chicken and eggs. We took one home to share with our families.
The Stars Class have been making cards and treats for our special mums and dads this Sunday. Hope they like them! We have also started preparing our planter for sowing seeds.
The Stars class enjoyed various World Book Week activities. We created bunting, dressed up and had a parade, brought in our favourite books to share, had a book swap, treasure hunt, enjoyed an author visit and read books on video, e-book and at the Dick Institute. We all enjoyed the experiences very much. However, let’s not forget, we made pancakes on Shrove Tuesday too!
