Willowbank School, KilmarnockThis week in Transition, the boys have been hard at work to create a McCoo portrait in time for Thursday when we had a visit from Harris McCoo himself.
All the boys loved practising the Harris McCoo song and danced along when we had our visitors; Steven Brown, Murray Gee Mac and Harris McCoo
We had a great time singing and signing the Harris McCoo Song and making our picture – don’t we all look great in our t’shirts!!
This week the Secondary Students started their SQA classes in the afternoon, going to different classrooms, meeting new teachers and students – we all got on great!!! We also made Sensory Weather Bottles – lots of glitter and pom-poms!!! Made Christmas Cards – got to get organised!!! And made Chocolate Crispies in Cookery – melting and mixing…they were yummy!!! And planted some Mustard seeds – hope they grow!!
The Stars Class collected colourful leaves to make autumn pictures. We created splendid hedgehog and fox pictures and discussed the yearly life cycle of a tree. We also made Christmas cards to be printed as a school fundraiser.
We all came together to enjoy our Macmillan coffee morning and have fun dancing with our friends. We also said a sad farewell and good luck to Mr Bark is away to start a new adventure.
It’s that time again, Christmas card deigns. The boys enjoyed some painting today, they chose the style of penguin they liked the best and used their foot print to personalise their penguin card. The end result will follow tomorrow.
The Stars Class made Mars Bar cake to share with our friends. We enjoyed sensory activities, had a ‘green’ tea party and made a handprint green frog picture. We also had a visit from Harley, the French bulldog, at Pet Therapy.
The Pine Class are using the inspiration of the season to create some beautiful art work.
This week has been quick and very busy. Some of us enjoyed being in for full days and have enjoyed all the fun activities. We have been looking at the letter and sound “S” this week. We did lots of activities about “S”. We enjoyed looking in Mr Tumble’s spotty bag for “s” and things beginning with “s”. We were finding magnetic letters in spaghetti, we made our own spiders and played with the fish swimming in the water.
We also had a special job to do. We had to get our foot painted to make something special for later in the year. All the Sunflower boys really enjoyed this and have tickly feet.
The Stars Class have noticed the trees are changing in the garden. We collected different coloured leaves and made colourful autumn prints with them. We had fun exploring a Nanny McPhee story bag and handling the props.
The Pine Class were looking for shadows today…but one thing was missing?? The SUN!!! But we still had good fun drawing round each other with the chalk.
