Willowbank School, Kilmarnock* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS *
The Moonbeams class were lucky enough to be invited along to Danger Detectives 2019. We had 5 stations to explore road safety when around buses, countryside safety, cycling safety, flood prevention and the hazard house.
We all listened really well and found it very interesting!
The Stars class were busy this week planting potatoes and onions. We must keep them well watered to grow. This week’s outing group visited Pets at Home where we saw clown fish just like those that live on the Great Barrier Reef.
ICT session in the Beech class! We interacted well with our friends while we investigated different types of ICT based games. We were very responsible and shared our games with the younger pupils as well as took turns. We used excellent communication skills when passing on instructions to our friends.
Today we raised money for cash for kids and came to school dressed up as a superhero or a princess some of the boys and girls even came in their pjs.
This morning we had a special visitor Shirley Husband who wrote the Harris McCoo books she read us the stories and even brought Harris to visit us. We listened well to the stories and danced with Harris. He then opened our new soft play and we were able to have a go. We really enjoyed the ball pool and the new plane soft play to rock on.
In the afternoon we made our own crowns and shields and the Daisies and Buebells joined us to have a fabby superhero afternoon. We had soft play, a dvd, dancing and some craft. We mixed with different friends and had a SUPER afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Bluebells have been confident individuals today as they have all dressed up in different outfits to celebrate Superhero Day and raise some money. The children had great fun in their costumes and even got to say hello to their friend Harris McCoo who came in for a visit and to open up our new Soft Play room. The children had great fun playing together and enjoyed listening to some of the McCoo stories read to them by author.
We were so excited today to have our first experience of Willowbank’s new soft play which was officially opened today by Harris McCoo.
We especially loved the new ball pool.
Thank you Friends of Willowbank!
We loved being invited to the Sunflowers French themed café this week. We were effective contributors and tried lots of new foods. We also explored enjoying some French music and dancing.
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS *
The Moonbeams class were very successful learners today when doing our imaginative writing. We used dice to randomly choose who, what and where we were writing about. We then used this information to create superhero stories.
What do you think?

The Moonbeams class loved today’s visit from Shirley Husband, the Harris McCoo story book author. She read us her brand new story about Betty McCoo and we also recapped on her original Harris McCoo story.
Of course, we were delighted that she also brought her famous friend Harris McCoo along with her and we had a bit of a dance to his famous song!
As a continuation of last week, the boys in Transition decided they wanted to do their maths outside. So, the superheroes took to the sensory garden and worked with they tyres adding and subtracting making piles of 5 and 10. They were all Successful Learners during the lesson and even managed to get The Hulk to calm down by doing a little bit of gardening.
