Willowbank School, KilmarnockApologies there is an issue affecting the upload of pictures. The Transition class started their preparation for Science week next week. NO SPOILERS! They tested their formula and equipment that they will pass to each secondary class next week. Things got a bit messy and wet but fingers crossed every class goes as well as ours!
Apologies there is an issue affecting the upload of pictures. The Transition boys took learning outdoors this week (the sun even shone!). The boys were consolidating their understanding of direction and time. The remote control bug was used off-road round a course. Each boy had the chance to control the bug and also to use the timer to see who was the fastest. We’ll keep you updated on the overall winner as we build up our off-road skills!
Apologies there is an issue affecting the upload of pictures. The Transition boys participated actively in making naan bread from three ingredients. They used their numeracy skills to each weigh out 50g of flour and 50g of yoghurt. They combined this with 1/4 of a teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt. The boys were very safe and sensible as they cooked them in a very hot frying pan. Each naan was very soft and tasty when eaten with some Indian style dips!
Paired reading using our favourite stories from home! We loved showing off our favourite stories and characters to our friends. We used our understanding of our books to create a review of the books we read or heard then made some art work based on a story we read together in class all about space.
This is the story we created by each team choosing either a character, setting, problem or solution to add to the story! It was so funny!
We chose to make banana loaf using some Fairtrade bananas and sugar this week. Our community café workers were delighted to take our loaf to sell on at café 
We made bookmarks to take home, masks of our favourite book characters and some of us dressed up to celebrate World Book Day. Other activities we took part in included group ‘story telling’ using just pictures and reading our favourite stories brought from home with a buddy.
Today was World Book Day, Jessica and Blake looked amazing as Jasmine and Aladdin!! Well Done!!
We were successful learners and listened to the story SuperTato – it was really funny – none of us are ever eating peas again!!! Then we made a superhero spud and some masks.
We have had a fantastic World Book Day in Comet class. Everyone dressed up as one of their favourite characters and shared one of their favourite books. We also all wrote our own silly stories! Unfortunately we are having a slight issue uploading our photos onto the blog right now so we cant show you all the amazing things we have done this week. We hope to have this fixed asap so you can see everything we are doing!
Today at Social Snack we were confident individuals and some of us had toast with Fair Trade Bananas. Then this afternoon were we successful learners and made Chocolate Krispies using Fair Trade Chocolate.
Shannon needed a wee rest in Cookery – thought Adam was a good place to lean!
No perhaps a chair would be better!
Melanie with the mixture.
Success – just need sprinkles!!!
The Sungazers and the whole school were responsible citizens as they actively engaged in a variety of LGBT whole school and class based activities. We were learning about families, nurturing and the people who care for us. We celebrated the different family forms in our communities using literacy and health and wellbeing approaches.
