Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Transition boys cooked up a storm again this Thursday. They were all Successful Learners when they remembered the steps to create the perfect sharing meal. The table was set correctly, tea was made in the pot and a variety of different styles of French toast was created. Knife and fork skills were thoroughly tested until we were full! A great social sharing time.
Looks like rain dear (reindeer!) haha!……….Anyway… Santa was very kind and found some spare time when he could lend us his Reindeer for an afternoon. The Transition boys were Confident Individuals getting up close to pat and feed them. They even got to sit in the sleigh! Lucky boys!
On Wednesday morning the Transition boys took part in a Sensory St. Andrew’s Assembly. They were all Responsible Citizens as they took part in a variety of activities including, hand painting thistles, identifying the famous Scot and modelling a thistle. I think we all agree that our favourite station was tasting Scottish food. I’d share some photographs of that but the food disappeared in the blink of an eye!
This week the Transition boys wrote some pages for their diary. They were all Effective Contributors and wrote about what they had got up to at the weekend. Topics ranged from watching sports to attending the Willowbank Christmas Fair. All very interesting!
We had a surprise visit from some reindeer in school this week. The Snowdrops were all confident individuals approaching the reindeer very quietly and slowly. The reindeers were actually bigger than the Snowdrop pupils and we heard them make unusual noises!
Some of the John Muir pupils visited Dean Park where the rangers helped them to create bug boxes. The boys enjoyed using the drill and the hammer! Once constructed, the bug boxes were filled with a range of natural materials sourced from the woodland floor.
Excellent work from these confident individuals and effective contributors.
Today the boys in the Sunflowers enjoyed creating some artwork using sensory materials. The children designed new antlers for Rudolph and then presented their work to each other. Lots of smiles today! Well done to these super successful learners.
The Stars Class created Santa Glitter Shakers to sell at the Christmas Market. We sold them all! We also created a Christmas Tree wall display for the atrium.
The Beech class enjoyed assembly this morning. We made thistles from our handprints, made shapes with porridge play dough, enjoyed some Scottish music and played themed games as well as tasted some typical Scottish foods. All pupils were confident individuals as they participated in each activity.
The Snowdrops were all confident individuals on recent social outings to our local community. Everyone enjoyed a visit to the café in Morrison’s supermarket, where we made personal choices of snack and drink, sat with our friends at the table and then played together in the play area. There was lots to explore in the play area. We also did some shopping the class and the Snowdrops were very successful learners using the self scanning check-out, great work!
