Willowbank School, Kilmarnock* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *
The Planets class enjoyed making crowns. We had been talking about royal headwear since we have been focusing on our Aladdin theme. We really enjoyed making these and were all brave enough to try them on!
The boys in the Bluebells were Confident Individuals when participating in sports day activities. We sat and waited till all the infant classes came out and then did a warm up with Mrs Feeney, we were loving the music. We were all set and raring to go … Flat race first …. ON YOUR MARKS GET SET GOOOO !!! We all ran as fast as we could and there were stickers for 1st , 2nd and 3rd place . We were Responsible citizens and went back and sat and cheered on the other classes. Then it was time for our novelty race, some of the boys managed to complete the race with no staff support . We are very proud of everyone and they are all winners to us . A well earned snack on our new picnic bench after the races.
Watch the blog for action photos from the day being posted by the PE department.
Effective Contributors
The Sunflower’s class have been practicing following instructions and sharing space as they actively take part in our parachute games. Each child was able to hold and move the parachute to create a breeze together . They have also enjoyed moving balls and objects on top of the parachute and launching them into the air during our counting songs. Each child was able to take turns during our passing activities. Lying underneath the parachute was very relaxing too!
Successful Learners/Confident Individuals
The Snowdrops have all showed interest in large story pictures and sequencing activities relating to our 3 Little Pigs story. We have been responding well to our multi-sensory story sessions and can recognise key pictures or characters from our story. Great work Snowdrops!
The Transition boys took time out this week to reflect on their enjoyment of their SQA topic Hobbies and Interests. They were Confident Individuals communicating their likes and dislikes and giving a reason for them. Well done boys, some very good answers given.
The Transition boys washed their delicates this week. Due to COVID they can’t access the laundry room as it’s out of their bubble. The boys chose to wash some of the props they had been using for their group performance. The boys were Confident Individuals choosing the correct washing liquid, washing the delicate scarf in warm soapy water, rinsing in fresh water and wringing out before hanging it somewhere appropriate to dry.
The Transition class managed to plant their potatoes this week. They were Confident Individuals having chitted the potatoes before planting out. The boys dug a trench and spaced out the chitted potatoes before covering up and watering in. Fingers crossed for a bumper crop!
