Willowbank School, KilmarnockEffective Contributors
The Sunflower’s enjoyed an Easter egg hunt in the sensory garden and playground. Each child followed the photo clues to collect their eggs. The hunt ended with a visit to the Easter bunny , chick and mother goose for an extra treat. Well done Sunflowers!
Last week, we were successful learners and followed a visual recipe to collect the ingredients needed.
We were confident individuals, following each step to create ‘Easter nest’ biscuits to share with our families.

The Sungazers had a brilliant time with the animals this morning. The Bunnies were very popular amongst the class! Although some felt a little hesitant at first, by the end we had all petted an animal of our choice and left with huge smiles!
Confident Individuals
The Sunflower’s had a brilliant day with all the animals at the petting zoo. Each child loved holding the animals and helping brush and feed them. Afterwards, we enjoyed Easter egg painting and water play with our numbered eggs. It was a brilliant day!
* CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS *
The Daisies class loved visiting the animals in the atrium today. There were bunnies, guinea pigs, mice, cockerels, ducks and a tortoise. We loved petting them, some of us were also brave enough to hold some animals on our lap and feed them.
For Health and Wellbeing this week, the class were Effective Contributors. We did different activities involving our noses and selected how this made only our nose feel. We tried to ignore whole body and focus on the individual part. The class chose their feelings and shared it with everybody.
The Transition class made cheese on toast this week (or is it roasted cheese?). They were Confident Individuals using different kitchen equipment but were very confident and safe using the hot grill. The made sure they had their oven gloves on and kept a safe distance.
The Transition class took advantage of the good weather and got out into the park. The were Effective Contributors working on the target ‘Big Trees’ from their list of 50 things to do in the outdoors. We built a shelter using trees for support. We made some bark rubbings and even had time for a bit of tree hugging!
The Transition class have been Successful Learners when working on their ILP targets. There has been a lot of quiet focus in class and pride in their own work. Well done everyone!
The Transition were Responsible Citizens and the class took part in a few Red Nose Day activities. They were challenged from another class to try and get a biscuit from their forehead to their mouth without using their hands. A lot of chocolate got on faces! We also did some painting with a hammer! We designed a face to add a red nose to. Lots of red paint was put in the nose area which was covered before being splatted with a hammer! Just as well we had our protective suits on!
