Willowbank School, KilmarnockToday the Beech class created these fabulous firework pictures. The boys and girls used paper tubes and brightly coloured paint to print the night sky.
All of the young people responded well to the activity and were keen to get involved with the printing.
Confident individuals!
Some photos which were taken last week. The Beech class concentrated and worked very hard to create these wonderful pumpkin collages. All of these successful learners demonstrated interest during the activity.
Superb work!
Here are a few pictures from last week. The Transitions boys tried out a new ‘resist’ technique by using wool and pain to make these super spooky webs.
Lots of active engagement from these confident individuals.
Well done!
The beech class started a new SQA today that will focus on our personal hygiene. Throughout the course of the year we will look at all the different ways we look after our bodies and keep ourselves healthy as we grow and mature.
Today, we had an introductory lesson where we looked at all of the different parts of our body that we need to keep clean and all of the different products we might use. We explored lots of products via our senses, then did a smell test to see if we could identify the product after smelling it.
We were very responsible citizens as we talked about our bodies and our routines at home.
We did a germ experiment to find out the best way of getting rid of germs on our hands given a choice of hot water, soap or sanitizer. We decided that it would be best to use all three as none of them managed to make the germs completely disappear.
The Snowdrops enjoyed a spooktacular day on Friday, filled with lots of Hallowe’en activities: We made pumpkin masks, played ghost ten pin bowling, enjoyed a spooky sensory story, did our class Hallowe’en parade and had a Hallowe’en snack. Phew!
Confident Individuals.
The Stars class were effective contributors acting out the parts of the Animal Boogie book. We had a good time making the animal moves and singing the songs.
The Stars class enjoyed a fantastic Hallowe’en week. We did Hallowe’en hard work, iced biscuits and did art and craft. On Friday we dressed up and enjoyed party activities, a sociable snack and a virtual parade. We had a blast!
The Stars class were responsible citizens by planting cress seeds to grow to eat. We painted lovely Hallowe’en mugs to grow them in.
