Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Sungazers have been ‘Effective Contributors’ as we took part in the Big Pedal challenge this week. We all enjoyed the walking, wheeling and scooting challenge in the playground. We have used a variety of bikes and scooters to travel around the playground and enjoyed taking part in our daily mile as always. Some also enjoyed a well earned rest at the end.

We cut egg shapes out of a Mars Bar Tray Bake, using cutters. After decorating them with melted chocolate and colourful sweets we took them home to show our families. They were very tasty indeed.

The Planets class recycled cardboard tubes and tried to turn them into our favourite theme characters. We made Aladdin, Jasmine and the genie.
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS *
The Planets class loved today’s 50 Things Outdoors activity. We took our socks and shoes off and experienced placing our bare feet on the earth and grass. We talked about how it felt and shared our likes and dislikes.
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *
The Planets class had a quick recap of the story of Aladdin. We had retained lots of information over our holidays.
We managed to work together and sort the scenes in the correct order.
We also tried to sort the main characters into good and evil character traits.
Finally, we chose our overall favourite characters!

We chose photographs and created an Article 17 poster showing that children have a right to get information that is important to their health and well-being. We watched Newsround to get current information about Covid 19 and did activities relating to this issue and how to keep safe and happy.
Successful Learners, Effective Contributors & MOVE
The Beech class have had a fun filled week before the Easter holidays. We made some lovely Easter crafts & gifts for our loved ones (we hope you like them!) We had a games afternoon on our final Vscene with Miss Woodburn before the holidays, where we had to get moving around the classroom. We’ve also been on a couple of Easter related hunts throughout the week to keep our bodies moving & our minds active!
Have a wonderful holiday everyone! We look forward to seeing you all again after your well-deserved break 
A surprise visit from the Easter Bunny!!
We enjoyed a playing balloon volleyball with our class friends, some of our boys are working on their fear of balloons. They did very well playing this game, and were effective contributors when working as a team to keep the balloon off the ground.
We made some Easter masks, we were successful learners when completing this task. We were working on our literacy to colour our masks. We were listening to a three step instruction and also our fine motor skills.
We enjoyed taking part in some Easter art activities, everyone in the Oak class hope that you all have ‘A CRACKING EASTER’.
We also had to work on our reading skills, we cracked open our eggs and read the action. We enjoyed performing these to music, we found the wheelbarrow fun but hard work!
Then we had an egg hunt in the class, some of the class friends enjoyed sitting watching the hunt and waiting on the chocolate eggs being brought to them to eat! Team work, I think!
Have a lovely Easter and we look forward to being back together soon!

The Planets class had a great surprise when the Easter Bunny showed up at our window. We were very thankful when he gave us some chocolate eggs.
