The transition boys were all Confident Individuals today. All the boys cut out and stuck together a life size replica of ‘Dippy the dinosaur’s’ femur bone and measured themselves next to the bone to see who was bigger than the bone.

We led assembly this week which was on the theme of friendship. We told the story of ‘Rainbow Fish’ then showed everyone all the friendship activities and art work we’d done. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.
We have started to compile an ‘All About Me’ booklet as part of our new theme, Nanny McPhee.

Busy days in the Daisies
This week we have been very busy.
We have settled back into school and are beginning our new theme ‘Homes and Families’. We have explored the story ‘A Squash and A Squeeze’ and enjoyed making the different characters to create a display.
Everyone also worked hard in Music this week and used percussion instruments to make loud and soft, and slow and fast sounds. We self assessed our work using ‘happy’ and ‘sad’ faces.

The Transition boys worked together in the kitchen to make toasties. We chose cheese, ham or haggis (or all three!) and all helped to prepare the ingredients. We also worked together to clean up afterwards.

Highlights of our week
All week our boys have been confident, successful and effective to complete all the work tasks you see below;
Jack was fantastic at his reading and creating sentences this week.
Angus and Nathan shared the sand tray between them and interacted well.
Anthony and Jack being super helpers, washing and drying the snack dishes.
We all have right to healthy food, so we made happy faces using fruit and then we tasted fruit we like and tried some new fruits.
Sean worked very well during rebound therapy, lots of good interaction and listening.
Our song that we are learning at the moment is George Ezra ‘Shotgun’, we are learning the signs and how to play the tune on the chime bard and bells.
We were learning about different houses and structures, we were looking at the yurt and tepee houses. So we decided to learn how to build our own tent, it was very warm and cosy inside.
Our boys made and posted their votes for all our school captain roles.
Angus completed 10 minutes on the treadmill!
The Transition boys were all responsible citizens yesterday when they visited Blair Drummond Safari Park. We saw lots of animals and learned lots about sea lions. We also had time to go on some rides an of course, have a picnic lunch.
Our favourite animals were:
Patrick – zebra
Oliver – sea lion
Ethan S – elephant
Jordan – penguin
Ethan B – meerkat
Keiran – sea lion
Hayden – tiger
The Snowdrops have all been confident individuals, getting to know new friends and moving around the school together.
We have had all been effective contributors creating fun self portraits of ourselves using different textures. The Snowdrops really like looking at themselves in a mirror!
The Snowdrops have been responsible citizens looking at pictures of our school badge and can recognise the Snowdrops picture that tells us which class we belong to.
We have also been very active, joining in with action songs about our emotions and created posters showing colours and characters of emotions.
It’s been a very busy few weeks of successful learning. We hope you enjoy some of our photos!
