Willowbank School, KilmarnockToday the Sunflowers class created these lovely Santa pictures. The pupils were given support to cut out a triangle, rectangle and semi-circle shape. They then built these up to make a Santa face and used a curly pipe cleaner and white paint to paint a beard. The boys presented their hard work to peers. Lots of happy faces today!
Super successful learners.
Check out these silly Christmas stockings designed by the Sunflowers class! The pupils used different coloured wool and wrapped it around a stocking shaped template to make a pattern.
Excellent work boys! You are all successful learners.
The boys created these lovely Scotty dog pictures by layering various coloured and textured paper. We discussed our favourite colours and used this to help inspire unique tartan designs.
Successful learners! Keep up the hard work boys! 
This afternoon the SQA practical craft class made these fabulous Christmas tree decorations. The boys and girls explored a range of sensory materials in the art room and worked hard to make these eye catching crafts. Well done to these super successful learners!
The Sungazers class have been investigating the use of warm colours and cool colours in art. The pupils created these lovely owl pictures using sensory materials. Excellent work by these successful learners.
The Sunflowers have been busy creating art by using recycled materials. The children brought in some old cardboard boxes from home and decided to create a Balamory Street.
Lots of good listening skills today. Well done boys. Successful learners and effective contributors!
The Sunflowers class enjoyed spending some time in the art room last week. It’s a very busy room with lots to see and do!
Check out these superb spooky sponge paintings. Excellent work from these super successful learners.
The 2018/19 John Muir Group enjoyed their first visit to Dean Castle & Country Park. Neal Lochrie, Countryside Development Officer, guided us through the park (amongst the Illuminight displays!) and we selected an area suitable for our conservation project.
The children even managed to do a spot of pond dipping and discovered snails, damselflies, dragonflies and beetles hiding at the bottom of the water. Lots of teamwork from these effective contributors. Well done !
The Sungazers had lots of fun in the art room creating these superb firework pictures and 3D rockets. Firstly, we discussed firework safety before the boys recycled scrap paper and made their own ‘paintbrushes’ by cutting the ends of rolled paper. Some super scissor skills and a fantastic result as I’m sure you’ll agree!
Well done to these successful learners!
The boys in the Sunflowers class have been exploring some sensory art materials. The pupils used super soft cotton wool and pom poms to create these gorgeous Balamory rainbow clouds. We linked LGBT into our discussion about rainbow colours and talked about what makes a good community like Balamory.
The boys were all given the opportunity and freedom of choice to select their own resources and to self assess using the classroom ‘thumbs up, thumbs down’ cards.
Excellent listening and making skills from these super successful learners! Keep up the hard work boys!
