WBD – Author visit

We had a special visitor come into school today. Greta Yorke and her friend Moira came to Willowbank today to read Greta’s book “The Tartan Witch”. The whole school got to listen to Greta and Moira tell the story about the tartan witch. Greta had also organised some lovely activities related to the book for the children to do after listening to the story. The activities were : exploration of the characters from the book, creating our own tartan using special wooden blocks with different lines on them, a matching game and a potion station. Everyone really enjoyed listening to the story and were effective contributors when engaging with the activities.

Pizza Pals

Our cookery class this week was a wee bit different with our boys in Transition inviting the Beech class along to enjoy some Pizza with us. All the boys were Confident Individuals when taking the orders of the boys and girls from Beech and creating the pizza they chose on the order form. Of course Beech returned the favour so our boys could enjoy a pizza of their own as well. Well done to both classes involved.
