Willowbank School, Kilmarnock* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS *
The Daisies Class enjoyed preparing for a picnic in the park. We looked at Tesco online and chose our desired snacks and drinks.
We enjoyed finding the perfect spot at the Kay Park, setting up our picnic blankets and having a social snack.
We enjoyed learning all about dinosaurs and their fossils during our theme work.
We were responsible citizens and took turns with peers to create our own dinosaur fossils using salt dough.
We have been successful learners this term working towards global goals 2 and 3: Zero Hunger and Good Health and Wellbeing.
We have been learning which foods are healthy and can be eaten often, and which should be eaten as a treat. We were confident individuals and created our own packed lunch boxes showing a balanced meal.
We have also explored different ways to keep our bodies healthy and confidently matched the products and items needed to keep different body parts clean.
*Effective Contributors*
We had a ball on Friday celebrating and raising awareness for the MOVE programme by getting our bodies moving by taking part in a wide range of activities.
We took part in lots of movement-based activities in class as well as joined up with the secondary department for a dance in the playground and then took part in planned activities that had also been set up outside.
What a busy day the Transition class had for MOVE day! We took part in lots of MOVE challenges in class in the morning. The class followed actions songs, played dice game where each number matched to an animal and made a MOVE poster. Just before lunch we took part in the secondary playground activities and in the afternoon we worked through different space themed MOVE activities. It was a great day where every pupil gave a lot of effort. The class were all Responsible Citizens.

It’s nearly the end of term and the Transition class were Confident Individuals when they completed their evaluations. Some pupils used the interactive board and some recorded their answers on paper. Each pupil was very secure with their answers and focussed really well on the task.
The Transition class were Responsible Citizens during their cooking time this week. They made up an order form and took orders for hot chocolate from the secondary classes. They carefully boiled the kettle, made up the hot chocolate and added marshmallows where requested. Well done everyone!
The Transition class were Responsible Citizens when they took responsibility to erect an outdoor shelter for the whole school to use. They listened well to instructions and worked together to hold it steady as the guy lines were tightened. We hope to get a lot of use for outdoor education towards the end of term.
The Transition class have been taking advantage of the better weather and doing some gardening. They have been Effective Contributors when planting vegetable and weeding the class raised bed. The class have planted turnips, rhubarb, peas and potatoes.
The class have also been collecting sunflower seedlings from every other class and planting them into a flower meadow. Fingers crossed for a good display of sunflowers. There may or may not have been some carry on with some sticky-willie!
It was a happy/sad morning on Tuesday. Happy because it was our Drake Music session and sad because it was our last one. The class were Confident Individuals replaying their greatest hits and having a turn of the guitar. The class made a lovely card for the Drake Music tutor.
