Willowbank School, KilmarnockToday we came to school dressed in red or in our pyjamas for Sport relief and brought in a kind donation. All the infant classes gathered in the atrium – we had music and did lots of activities. We made a tower with red lego, pin the nose on the celebrity, red egg and spoon race and an obstacle course. It was great fun and all the Sunflowers participated in all the activities and were super confident individuals at moving around when Miss Hill shouted it was time to change. 
This week has been full of lots of different science activities and experiments. On Tuesday we had a day of science. The people from the dark sky observatory came with an inflatable planetarium. We all went inside to view the stars and the planets. We experience some science activities with students from Grange. We got to explore robots and made our own circuits with the ladies from Dumfries House. We also enjoyed exploring the stomp rockets.
We also conducted some science experiments in the classroom. We all really enjoy water play to we investigated floating and sinking. The children were confident individuals in placing the items in the water and then had some capacity fun filling and emptying different containers.
We haven’t just celebrated books on one day but all week. We all really enjoy experiencing and reading the “That’s not my ….” books, so on Monday we collected all the books we had along with different materials and read them together. We touched the different materials then used to create capes and headbands.
On Wednesday we had lots of fun participating in activities around “Goldilocks and the three bears”. We had a large tuff tray full on oats and were confident individuals exploring the oats finding the images underneath and scooping it up into the different bowls. We played with bears deciding who was mummy bear, daddy bear and baby bear. We watched the story on the board and enjoyed playing with the puppets alongside.
Today is the big day World Book Day. Today we are focussing on the book Snow White and seven dwarfs. Miss Hill even dressed up as Snow White. During our morning group we read parts of the story. For cookery we made rice krispie treats made the read and moulded them to look like apples. We decorated out own mirror design and added tin foil to the middle so well all have our own magic mirror and explored the Snow White inspired tuff tray in the afternoon.
Yesterday we made some lovely Valentine’s treats to take home to our parents. We melted white chocolate and then added sweets and then put it in the fridge to harden. Later in the afternoon we broke it into lots and lots of pieces.
We also made cards. On the card was a piece of pizza – saying you stole a pizza my heart! We chose a friend in the school to send it to and then posted them in the post box in the atrium.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
The Sunflowers had a wonderful time at the Christmas party and all looked lovely in their outfits. We even had a special visit from Santa. Some of the class opened their gifts and they received a book and selection box. 
We were very lucky yesterday and Santa came to school to visit all the classes. He was in the sensory room and all the classes got to go and see him. We all put on Santa hats etc and stood next to Santa to get a picture.
All the children seemed to really enjoy seeing Santa and received a sensory present. We were all confident individuals and all stood next to Santa.
The Sunflower class have settled well into p1. We all attend assembly weekly.We can sit and listen to classes share information and news during their class assembly. Some of us have already received the star of the week certificate and were able to stand up and be sung to receiving their star of the week award. They were even able to help stick their certificate on the wall for everyone to see.
We were all able to sit at the front of the assembly and be confident individuals during our class assembly. We were able to hold up the SHANARRI indicators at the correct time and share out learning with the primary classes. 
The Sunflowers did amazingly well as Sports Day yesterday. I am so proud of them they were confident individuals and very independent in their races. All the boys helped to create our resources for the spectacular French novelty race. We made onion garlands and our sensory flag to hold up at the opening ceremony. The boys listened to instructions and walked around the playground showing our flag and then sat well between races. They all race their flat race, completed their French novelty race and we won the relay race which most of the boys were able to complete independently. Well done boys!!!
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 boys enjoyed painting our eggs green to look like frogs. We put together some logs along with some special blue paper to make it look like our 6 little speckled frogs were in a pond.
Today we rolled our eggs in the atrium. We used our listening ears and were confident individuals. We waited our turn and rolled our eggs.
