Willowbank School, KilmarnockConfident Individuals
To celebrate Earth Day, our class enjoyed a variety of activities. We made our own Earth images using foam and green and blue paint. We also practiced overwriting the word Earth and ordering numbers to complete an Earth picture puzzle.

World Earth day is observed every year on the 22nd of April to help create awareness about pollution and to celebrate the environment of our blue planet. Today we made lovely sun-catchers, kept the lights turned out (as much as possible) and made a parachute den, that we had a sing song in!!

Effective Contributors Confident Individuals
The Moonbeams learned about Earth Day this week. We listened to a song about what we can do to look after the Earth better and then we did some tasks to help. We recycled, and decided to switch the lights off as much as possible and then we made some food for the birds. Take a look at our photos. They are a bit dull since the the lights were off!
Yesterday was Earth Day. We are Effective Contributors and already in the Bluebells class recycle and use reusable cups at snack time. We used up scrap tissue paper that we ripped up to make some earth sun catchers for our windows. We were Confident individuals and were able to place the green and blue tissue paper inside the circle to make land and water on our earth. We also did some painting. We used blue and green to make it look like a world and drew around our hands and used scissors to cut them out. Once dry we stuck a heart in the middle and our hands to the side as if we were holding the earth.
We also sat in the dark and read a story with torches. It was great fun. It was a sensory story and they enjoyed feeling the different items in the pages.
This morning we came into class and found our beautiful Earth sun-catchers reflecting the colour onto the carpet.
Our bird feeders were ready to hang up in the garden this morning. The birds will have some lovely treats this weekend. If there is any food left next week we will do some bird watching in the garden.
We will be responsible citizens and make more food for the birds when they finish their food.
Today we made a picnic and enjoyed it in the sensory garden. We were responsible citizens and ensured we had everything we needed before leaving the class.
We chatted with friends while enjoying our snack in the sunshine.
After successfully sewing a button onto material the boys in Transition moved on to repairing a tear in materials for their SQA Personal Presentation class. The boys were Successful Learners and were very focused when making their repairs.
It was tattie time this week in Transition. The boys were preparing their seed potatoes for growing in their SQA Hobbies and Interests class and were Effective Contributors when chitting their potatoes. The boys identified the end of the potato with the most eyes and set them in a box the correct way up. We hope they will sprout roots in the next few weeks so we can plant them out in the garden.
We had a TECHNICOLOR time this week in Transition class when we rehearsed our SQA group performance. The boys worked very hard and were Confident Individuals about their part in the performance. Each boy was AMAZING when we practiced signing and moving around. I think it will be a DREAM performance.
