Willowbank School, KilmarnockYesterday we explore our school garden and collected. We then used the leaves we collected to create either a hedgehog or an owl. We used glue and stuck them on our picture. We were looking at the many different colours of leaves in the garden when we were collected them trying to get lots of different colours.
The transition owls took turns at looking and holding the owls this made them Confident Individuals
All transition boys were confident individuals counting their change and adding coins to make £10

We had lots of fin today and all looked super cool in our Friends of Willowbank t-shirts. We had lots of fun on the bouncy slide and everyone had a turn. We also got to see some very lovely ponies and take them for a little walk around the atrium. 
The Transition boys were Confident Individuals while preparing and tasting cheese from around the world.
Another fantastic week in the Sunflowers class. The children are settled into the routine of school and this week we focussed on some numeracy tasks as it is National Maths Week. The children were confident individuals and able to choose a song from the app “Number songs” on our Interactive Whiteboard. There are lots to chose from and the songs are very good. We also played lots of interactive games. We all loved the one where we had to give the teddy the correct number of cakes.
We also went on a number hunt around the school. We had a sheet with numbers and had to find the same as we explored around the corridors of the school. 
Now all the boys in Transition are all settled and enjoying their time with new classmates, it was time to see what each boy was looking forward to the most for the upcoming year. There was a selection of words given to them and each boy had to make a list of things they were looking forward to being a part of around the school. (We didn’t mention the C word even though its only 16 weeks away). All the boys were Confident Individuals and have all set some very interesting goals.
Yesterday the Sunflowers went to the cookery room for the first time. They listened well and were able to sit at the table. We then all washed our hands so we were clean and ready to touch the food. All the children were confident individuals and were able to come and choose a piece of bread and put it in the toaster. We then used a knife to spread butter on the toast. 
Last week the boys in transition visited Underwood House and had their work cut out. They were all Confident Individuals when working to build their very own flower bed. everyone had their own jobs to do but also had to come together as a team to build the bed. here are some progress pics of how everyone got on. We are heading back to Underwood on Tuesday to finish off the last wee bit and enjoy a well deserved picnic with some games.
