Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Beech class have been working hard on their numeracy ILP targets in class. We are focusing on number recognition, ordering numbers, matching numbers to their value and using mathematical language and Gemma has started work on addition! We were very successful learners as we worked hard to achieve our targets.

The Bluebells class completed a “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” theme related activity today. They attempted to make rainbows using lego bricks. We found this quite tricky as we were missing some of the colours of the rainbow, but we made a good attempt!

The Bluebells class had great fun today in the PE hall. Mrs Feeney had set up a range of stations with apparatus. We had to take turns moving around the station and were very brave when using climbing frames and attempting forward rolls.
The Sunflowers Class had a nice walk to Scotmid this morning. We were all responsible citizens walking nicely round to the shop, buying bread and brining it back to school. We then had some toast and practised our spreading skills.
The Sungazers Class have been growing cress over the last few weeks. We have decorated our pots by using different designs. In our first pot we used cotton wool to put our seeds on and in the second we used kitchen roll. Everyday we checked our seeds to see how they were growing. The cotton wool pots grew best. We have loved watering our seeds and watching them grow over the last few weeks!

Now the weather is beginning to change, we have been exploring ways we can help feed the birds and making some fun bird feeders for the school garden. The Snowdrops used pipe cleaners and cheerios to create a feeder for the birds. Everyone showed good fine motor skills threading the cheerios onto the pipe cleaners. The Snowdrops also enjoyed tasting some cheerios too! We are going to hook them over branches on the trees in our school garden.

As part of our Enormous Turnip story theme work, the Snowdrops have been exploring how vegetables grow. We had lots of sensory fun making rain with our water sprayer and making the sun shine with our torch. In class, we are trying to grow some carrot heads and will look after them over the next few weeks and see if they grow!
The Stars class made mars bar cake which we sold in school for Macmillan Day. There was only one piece left………….and that didn’t last long back in class! We are proud to say we made £9.90 to donate to the appeal. We participated in Friday afternoon activities. We iced biscuits, created a colourful cupcake picture, made a fizzing green volcano and enjoyed sensory handling. A great afternoon was had by all.
