Willowbank School, KilmarnockEveryone responded well and were effective contributors to our ‘Body’ lessons. We were discussing and looking at visuals to the physical changes that happen to our bodies during puberty.
Confident individuals all round when answering questions in a very mature manner.
This week in the Oak class we have been participating actively in our outdoor PE lessons. We have been confident individuals and working on improving our speed and agility through different games.
We are starting to prepare for Sports day and will be taking part in more running and athletic events over the next few weeks.
We all discussed the agenda for the pupil council and voted for our end of term party theme and ideas for activities for POLO day.
Everyone had their vote and were effective contributors and actively engaged in the conversation.
The vote decided a football theme and taking part in water activities then a BBQ for POLO day.

The Planets class enjoyed looking closely at treasure items. We sorted them into colours and shapes using tweezers. We also enjoyed looking closely at some of them using magnifying glasses.
We learned some of their names including rubies, emeralds and sapphires and played a “can you find….?” game.
Finally, we researched our birthstones.
Effective Contributors/Confident Individuals
The Snowdrops showed lots of interest in retelling our Three Little Pigs story through drama. Everyone responded and contributed in different ways, it was fun pretending to be a little pig or the big bad wolf!

The Planets Class enjoyed making their very own Rajah! We used painted the paper plates orange and cut out shapes to make the tiger’s features and stripes. We had fun doing this!
Although the ribbon has not been cut top open the greenhouse and the roof isn’t 100% finished. the Transition boys were Responsible Citizens and managed to make an upcycled table to put their seedling on. Hopefully the sunflowers will continue to grow before being added to a whole school meadow.
