Willowbank School, Kilmarnock
On Monday we went a walk to the library to choose a book to take back to school. We were responsible citizens and looked after the books in the library. The lovely ladies brought out Lego and colouring for us to do too. We sat with the staff and read books together and then gave the ladies the books we chose. We were confident individuals and were able to give eye contact with the ladies and given them our books to check out.
The Sungazers enjoyed a variety of science experiments using everyday materials. Coloured milk art, skittle science experiments, dish soap science – pepper magic. They were a huge success.

The pupils in the Sungazers made a poster relating to poverty and UNRC.
This week the Stars and Pine classes organised a Chinese New Year sensory assembly together. Everyone seemed to enjoy the activities and had a good time.
This week we have been learning all about Chinese New Year. We enjoyed going to the Sensory Assembly where we tasted different foods, made Chinese shapes, watched the Chinese dragons dancing on the big screen, got to beat the big Chinese drum and play on the Magic Carpet. In class we listened to the story about how Chinese New Year began, worked out which animal we were and made some Chinese lanterns. In cookery we made Sweet and Sour Chicken, and also Krispy Cakes with Gold Coins for good luck – yummy!! We also did some hard work this week too!!
The Oak boys have been working hard on our communication skills and interacting with our friends. They have all been confident individuals when communicating with adults and their peers.
Jack has been enjoying have the responsibility of asking all his friends what they would like for lunch then working on his memory skills to remember the order and record it.
Nathan has been taking messages to people around the school and using his signs.
We started our LGBT book this week and started to complete a book study record. Blake and Angus completed their work and then compared answers to see if they were the same.
Angus has been excellent this week and has really enjoyed the treadmill, he has now increased his to time to 25 minutes!
Angus listened to instructions well to make his bird cake.
This week we were making bird cakes to feed the birds, with all the snow and the cold weather we have been having we need to help our bird friends find some food.
We added raisins, oats and seeds to our bird cake mixture. All boys were effective contributors taking part in making these bird cakes.
Anthony sneaked more raisins in his mouth than he put in the mixture!
We then went and placed them in our sensory garden, the birds will have a good dinner tonight.
