Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Stars class invited the Sungazers class for a golden ticket treasure hunt. As it was raining we had to have it indoors but nevertheless we had a fun time. We made tasty chocolate crispie cake to serve for snack.
We had our second visit to CC’s Chocolate Creations where owner Carol warmly welcomed us. We saw all the chocolate creations she’d made and enjoyed dipping marshmallows in melted chocolate. Yum! We used our new eco bag when shopping.
Scone!!! (it’s gone)
This week the Transition boys made pumpkin spiced scones. the boys were all Effective Contributors as they all enjoyed mashing the roasted pumpkin and grating the cold butter (which felt very strange!). The scones were a clear winner judging by the photographs!

The Moonbeams carried out an experiment about the difference between using salt water and just water. We had two bowls and placed an egg in each bowl to see what the effect was. We found that the egg sunk to the bottom of the bowl of just water but floated in the bowl with salt.
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *
The Bluebells class enjoyed a science lesson where they had to identify is objects would blow in the wind. We used a fan as our wind machine and they really enjoyed watching a range of objects fly across the room.
The Transition boys are Successful Learners every day when they take part in their ten minute challenges. The challenges change but are linked to literacy and numeracy targets. The boys were working on 24hr clocks, choosing words, money, sequencing, months and seasons and reading this week.
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS *
The Bluebells class have enjoyed looking closely at weather as part of our ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’ theme. We enjoyed performing a dance using umbrellas as a prop. We danced to Gene Kelly’s “Singing in the Rain” and loved doing this.

The Bluebells class enjoyed this week’s sensory assembly all around the theme of Diwali. We created tealight candle holders, explored chapatti dough and made rangoli patterns with dough, lentils and seeds.
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS *
The Bluebells class learned about where strawberries come from. We looked at where they grow on the map and how they start from a strawberry plant and turn into a juicy red strawberry.

Some of the boys in the Sungazers class will soon be big brothers! We have been doing a mini-topic about babies in the class which all of the boys have really enjoyed. They have been really good at holding their baby dolls correctly, taking them for walks and identifying all the equipement needed to look after a baby.
Yesterday we had a visit from Mrs Skinner’s newborn niece, Chloe. All of the boys were delighted to meet her and were so kind and gentle.
This week we evaluated our theme and decided what we liked best about Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs – some of us liked dressing up!!
Reece read the story one last time!!!
We enjoyed Sensory Assembly – All about Diwali.
Jessica used the switch and mixed up a batch of cup cakes – then we decorated them like spooky eyeballs – for the real Halloween!!!!
