We were lucky enough to be invited along to Rainbow House to see their Christmas decorations. The staff had decorated rooms and offices and they asked for our help to choose the best rooms. We loved visiting and got some lovely gifts and a nice snack.

The Moonbeams class had an outdoor learning challenge where they had to find 10 hidden stars in the sensory garden. Each star gave us an instruction that we had to complete – touch our toes, do star jumps, 10 second floss and even a Christmas conga!

The Moonbeams class recently completed a science experiment using candy canes where we had to submerge them in different liquids and watch what happened. We used hot water, cold water, vinegar and oil and were amazed at how some of the liquids made the candy canes change colour and dissolve.

The Moonbeams class had to work together during a science challenge. They were given different sized ice balls and had to try and construct a stable iceman which was very difficult! We used salt to help the balls of ice stick together and both teams managed to make an iceman!

Willowbank School had a recent visit from some friends of Santa Claus. Two reindeer came to the school to visit us and we had fun meeting them and petting them and sitting in a sleigh.

The Moonbeams class began their new theme this week. We read the story ‘Santa is coming to Scotland’ and decided to use Google maps to look at the places Santa visited on his sleigh.
We enjoyed exploring towns and cities in Scotland and pointed out places we recognised like local Tesco stores and libraries.

The Moonbeams class made burgers this week during our cookery session. We were very careful frying the burgers and used tongs and a spatula to do so.

The Moonbeams class had a construction challenge this week. We set a visual timer on the Promethean board and the pupils had to try and construct a model before the time ran out. They loved doing this and could tell us or show us what they had made when the time ran out.

The Moonbeams class have been working very hard this week contributing to the planning and preparation for tomorrow’s Christmas Fayre. We created a Christmas tree display for the wall and also made unicorn party cups to sell.
We all watched staff demonstrations and helped contribute towards these enterprise products.
