Willowbank School, Kilmarnock* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS *
During our IDL theme “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”, the Bluebells class have looked closely at the weather. Today, the class had a challenge to see if they could read and recognise any weather words. They used the SMARTboard and matched the word to the picture and then had to sort the jumbled up letters to create the words sun, snow, rain, wind and cloud. Miss Gemmell was very impressed with our reading skills!
The Sunflowers were confident individuals as they explored Kay Park this morning. We had a shot on all of the equipment and then had a walk around the park. We found the lions!
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *
The Bluebells class enjoyed a spooky science experiment. We submerged chicken bones in vinegar and left them for a few days. When they came out, we were amazed that the chicken bones had became soft and bendable!

The Bluebells class have enjoyed watching a few clips of “Funny Bones” during Halloween week. We decided to create our own funny bones skeletons and really enjoyed doing this!
Today we combined our numeracy with our 50 Things Challenge. We counted our conkers and then played with them, covered them in paint and rolled them in a tray and created some wild art.
Works of Art!!!

On Friday afternoon, the Bluebells class enjoyed moving around the infant classes and enjoying a range of spooky Halloween activities. We explored a spooky sensory carpet and many sensory trays where we had to find insects, rats and bats!
We also made spooky Halloween biscuits and had fun dooking for apples!
We got to choose whether we wanted to make a ghost or cat craft and finally enjoyed playing spooky bowling, pin the nose on the witch and pin the eye on the monster!
The Stars class enjoyed Hallowe’en activities this week and a wonderful visit from Singing Hands. The fun was enough to, ‘waken the dead!’.
Happy Halloween! We had our Halloween party this morning, lots of games and dancing. Some people became very competitive!
Then our special visitors this afternoon, Singing Hands! Confident individuals all round today and everyone fully engaged in all the activities. They all also coped very well with a day that was completely out of our usual daily routine.
The Transition boys were sad to say goodbye to Mr Jenkinson as he leaves us for pastures new. Thanks for everything Mr Jenks, you’ll be missed!
