Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe boys created these lovely Scotty dog pictures by layering various coloured and textured paper. We discussed our favourite colours and used this to help inspire unique tartan designs.
Successful learners! Keep up the hard work boys!

The Beech class started their new ECO target yesterday. We are looking at Global Goals 6 which focuses on keeping our local water cycle clean. We looked at how the water system works and where water comes from. then we started an experiment that lets us observe the cycle in action and listened to a song all about the cycle. We then engaged in a sensory water “play” session where we demonstrated the cycle using different types of water and water-themed objects. We were very successful leaners as we were able to complete an assessment at the end showing how much we learned!
On Friday afternoon we decorated our class Christmas tree. The boys had fun building the tree, putting on the lights, putting on the tinsel and adding all our lovely baubles. We worked together to complete the task each taking turns.
This morning we were set the challenge of creating a Christmas tree out of different shapes.
This afternoon the SQA practical craft class made these fabulous Christmas tree decorations. The boys and girls explored a range of sensory materials in the art room and worked hard to make these eye catching crafts. Well done to these super successful learners!

The Moonbeams class had to work together during a science challenge. They were given different sized ice balls and had to try and construct a stable iceman which was very difficult! We used salt to help the balls of ice stick together and both teams managed to make an iceman!

The Moonbeams class had the task of preparing the stations for the St Andrew’s sensory assembly. We made porridge oat play dough, had a Scottish food tasting session and made thistle crafts.
