‘ONCE YOU DIP YOU CAN’T TRUST ANYONE’

Everyone loves Dorito’s, but no one has seen them like this before!!

The Mexican Dorito gang: ‘Hot’ Luis – he’s the Boss!, ‘Cool’ Juarez – who likes to chill and salty Poolpo – the one who is wild and free, Pablo – the ‘hot’ dog and crispy cat-Kitcato, spend the day together in the comfort of their home, like every other Dorito day. But thay had NOT prepared for what was about to happen!

After they take a dip in some hot Dorito sauce their cute little Dorito doggy, Pablo, has a rumble in the super salsa. Resulting in chaos and calamity. The Dorito gang’s lives could end in crumbs! Can Kitcato save the day?? Is the dip too spicy?? Where is the tequila?? Who ate the dip??

This can only mean one thing – Once you dip you can’t trust anyone!

Filmed in a haphazard, exciting manner, the film captures the handmade characters at their best as they play, dance and run for their lives.

Below are a few photos of the stills and sets used for the stop-motion animation.

WILLOWBANK CHEER ON THE STEELMEN

Motherwell 1 – 1 Kilmarnock

A draw at Fir Park for Motherwell secured fifth place in the Scottish Premier League for Kilmarnock.

Steve Jones put the home side ahead in the eighth minute with a 20-yard strike to beat Killie keeper Cammy Bell.

But Willy Aubameyang bagged a goal for the visitors four minutes into the second-half.

Six minutes into the game and Motherwell’s Chris Humphrey knocked the ball over the bar for the first chance of the game.

Not long after Craig Bryson broke through into the home team’s box, but was cut short with a great tackle from Steven Saunders.

The draw for Killie was enough to lock in fifth place in the Scottish Premier League and will end the season there also with a four-point lead over the Steelmen.

Jones gave Motherwell an early lead with a great right-footed strike, which managed to beat keeper, Bell and bounced inside of the near post.

Chris Humphrey soon after the 1-0 lead at Fir Park drove the ball past the far post on the edge of the box.

On the seventeenth minute of the first-half a corner swung in from James Dayton, which caught on to Aubameyang and almost secured an equaliser for Kilmarnock.

Not long after a clash between keeper Cammy Bell and John Sutton left the Killie goalie down for a minute but soon recovered.

A second goal for Motherwell was denied in the thirty-eighth minute of the first-half by the offside flag after Humphrey’s cross was headed in off the post by Steve Jennings.

Four minutes after half-time Motherwell were split wide open after a pass from Eremenko to Steven Saunders which led to a ball cut across the six-yard box for Willy Aubameyang to slide home the equaliser.

A great lofted ball just outside the box from Jennings led to header from John Sutton, which was blocked by Killie keeper, Bell.

Kilmarnock fought back with a shot from James Dayton which shot wide from 20 yards, then Randolph tipped over a shot from Bryson soon after.

Another chance for Motherwell again when Shaun Hutchison caught onto a Jennings cross, but was denied by Bell with a low save.

And Randolph blocked from the overlapping Garry Hay as both teams thought it was a last chance winner for Kilmarnock.

PHOTOGRAPHY LESSONS AT SUMMERLEE

Pupils from Willowbank School received their first lesson in photography at the Summerlee Photomedia Suite in Coabridge last week. The pupils were introduced to new technologies including SLR digital cameras and advice on how to take the ‘perfect picture’. Pupils learned about ‘The rule of thirds’ from freelance photographer and cameraman Iain. The rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts such as painting, photography and design. The rule states that an image should be imagined as being divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced vertical lines and two equally-spaced horizontal lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections as research shows that is where the human eye naturally focuses.

Here are some of the photos the pupils took whilst trying to keep ‘The rule of thirds’ in mind when shooting.

WILLOWBANK PUPILS VISIT MIDDLE CHURCH AT EASTER

On the 30th of March the R.M.E group went to the Middle Parish Church. The Reverend was called Reverend Rogers and the church was in King Street, Coatbridge, just along the road from our school.

He talked about the history of the church and other decorations in the church. The church was moved because the old one burned down due to an electrical fault in 1941. The church got rebuilt in the east end of Coatbridge. The reverend had other jobs in Barlinie Prison, Glasgow to preach to the inmates. He talked about other churches and ways to be baptized. And he says that being a priest was good. The items in the church was the baptizing bowl and a table and a stand on the table and it had a large bible on it, and a stand with a normal sized bible to read from. Mr Rodgers told us how important Easter was and why. The church had stained glass windows. And said than a cross with nothing on it is just a cross if it is a cross with the body of Christ on it is a crucifix. And the story of when and why Christ was crucified and said that he wore a sine that said king of the Jews. Some of the stained glass windows were to remember something or someone. When Mr Rogers finished his talk he gave us a post card with a special message.

Willowbank pupils’ would like to thank Reverend Rogers of Middle Church, Bank Street, Coatbridge for his time and providing us with the opportunity to visit his church and learn more about Easter.

LITTER REVIEW AT WILLOWBANK SCHOOL

Our Litter project group recently re-visited the school grounds to see if any litter had found its way back into our yard over the Easter holidays. Unfortunately we found it had!

The ‘litter hot-spots’ had filled up again with the usual suspects. There were plastic bottles, beer cans and cigarette butts. The group made a short video to report on their findings. Our aim now is to come up with a long term solution to the problem!!!!! Watch this space!

WILLOWBANK PUPILS MAKE VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION TO TREE PROJECT

Pupils from Willowbank School, Coatbridge this week joined forces with The Woodland Trust, the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity, to plant new trees at a designated area with Drumpellier Country Park, Coatbridge.

Pupils planted native trees which will grow well into the next century to be enjoyed by future generations.

The project is part of the Woodland Trust’s “More Trees, More Good” campaign – the largest tree planting mission the UK has ever seen.

For Melissa, Shaun, Eve and Lee, this was the first time they had planted a tree. The pupils learned about the environmental benefits and how their trees will help the forests of tomorrow.

Paul Bunton of the Woodland Trust said “With the help of more young people The More Trees, More Good campaign will help make a lasting impact on the UK landscape.”

For more information on The Woodland Trust and how your school can contribute towards this worthwhile project visit www.moretreesmoregood.org
