Shopping
On Monday we went out on or social outing. We all got a shopping list to look at. we got strapped into the bus and were able to look at the list on the way to Asda. We collected a trolley and went round the shop looking in all the aisles for the items on our list. We had to get bread, croissant, food colouring, sprinkles, chocolate and bread sticks. Once we had all our items we went to the self scan to scan our items and then pay for them. All the boys really enjoyed having a list to check.

Krispie Cake Pigs
The Snowdrops have been practising their cookery skills and doing lots of stirring, mixing and pouring. We all made effective contributions to a variety of cookery tasks. Everyone helped to break up the cooking chocolate and took turns using the switch to activate the microwave and melt our chocolate. It was fun to watch the white chocolate colour change to pink as we wanted our cakes to be like pigs! We had to work hard mixing lots of krispies into the chocolate. To finish our cakes, we added a percy pig head. They looked really tasty!
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS*
The Moonbeams Class were very enthusiastic when creating fireworks in a jar. We mixed oil and drops of food colouring in a bowl. We added this to a jar of warm water and watched closely! Soon, we could see a range of colourful fireworks in our jars.
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS *
The Moonbeams Class have thoroughly enjoyed our Flintstones theme. We decided to use all our theme knowledge and invite some of our peers to a Bedrock Bar and Stone Age Snack Shack.
Our menu included dino bites (turkey dinosaurs), dino toast, hot rocks (meatballs), cheesy boulders (cheesy puff crisps) and Flintstones fruity fizz juice (Lilt zero). We enjoyed creating menus and placemats, preparing snacks and serving them to our friends.

Perfect Pumpkin Pie
With the glut of pumpkins in Kilmarnock (Killiewe’en had passed, what’s this Hallowe’en thing?) the Transition boys decided to make pumpkin pie. They were all Effective Contributors when they read and followed the recipe. Skills included; weighing, measuring, melting, grating and baking. They were Responsible Citizens when working with the hot oven, ensuring everyone was safe. They also took the time to practice their spreading and cutting skills by having a tea and toast social. A great Autumnal feast!

Lads Loving Literacy!
The Transition class was a hum of quiet focussed activity when the boys took part in their literacy lesson this week. They were all Confident Individuals when taking part in their own reading tasks. Their tasks included reading and answering questions on a chapter of a chosen book, finding key words to share the theme and describing what they see, think and wonder. Every boy made an excellent effort – well done!
