Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe pupils in the Bluebells class continued exploring their class theme, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, in the art room.
In the story a lot of different foods fell from the sky so Mrs Macdonald brought in some vegetables and the boys and girls enjoyed a sensory afternoon ‘painting’ with vegetables!
It was decided that the celery made the best paintbrush!
Confident individuals and some super behaviour in the busy art room. Fab!
The Beech class had a lovely sensory morning in the art room. The pupils were given the opportunity to feel and manipulate various textures including:
With support, the pupils cut small pieces of their chosen textures, furry, smooth and bumpy, to design this fabulous parachuting, dainty, English cow!
Excellent collaborative work today from these effective contributors. Well done everyone!
The plastic bottle greenhouse is fairly taking shape!
The Transition boys worked hard this week, cleaning and helping to cut a LOT of plastic bottles for the construction. The pupils created a mini ‘production line’ which consisted of taking off labels – removing plastic lids – washing the bottles – drying the bottles – cutting off the bottom part – sorting into plastic bags… phew!
Excellent turn taking, listening and support of peers was witnessed during this exercise. Absolutely wonderful work from these effective contributors and responsible citizens!
Today the Pine class constructed these simple 3D fried egg models in relation to their class topic, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
The pupils were given the opportunity to explore a range of sensory materials, The final ‘fried eggs’ were created using white net material and yellow velvet.
Excellent work from these super confident individuals!
Today the Bluebells enjoyed exploring the art room and utilising some of the new resources which have arrived. The boys and girls took turns to share the new texture print paintbrushes. They worked well together and displayed good listening skills throughout the activity.
Well done to these effective contributors.
The Bluebells have been familiarising themselves with the art room. As part of their topic, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, the pupils have created a character using sensory materials.
Barry Strawberry was made using soft red cloth and crinkly yellow tissue paper. Well done everyone! Lots of hard work from these successful learners.
Mrs Macdonald has discovered two large boxes of scrap material and cloth in the art room cupboard.
The Pine class were able to use some of this material to make a map of Swallow Falls from the film ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’.
We enjoyed some sensory play with the larger sheets of green material before beginning the collage using various sensory materials
Lots of effective contribution today! Well done!
The pupils in the Pine Class have chosen to do a book study as their topic this term.
The apples were chopped into prints which would create the trunk, apples and leaves. I’m sure you’ll agree that everyone has done very well!
Excellent work from out successful learners today!
Today the boys from Transition Class have been working with recycled materials to create fabulous 3D apples.
Willowbank School have been gathering 2l plastic bottles as part of our greenhouse project. The bottom part of the bottle is not required for the structure so the children used their creative skills to make these models.
Wow! Excellent work by some very confident individuals!
