We did some activities this week ahead of POLO Day. We painted patterns with water and watered our planter where we are growing onions, potatoes, carrots, strawberries, nasturtiums and sweet peas. Our gladioli bulbs are starting to grow too. We made symmetrical butterfly pictures in anticipation of making a large symmetrical floor pattern today. Today we also made a water wheel (which worked really well!) and created nature’s crowns.
As is traditional at the end of every term, the Transition class applied their literacy skills to evaluate their learning. The boys were Confident Individuals filling in their forms and giving their opinions on different learning tasks. Thanks for the feedback boys.
During Health and Wellbeing time the Transition class were Confident Individuals when we discussed what to do when you get lost. The boys confidently listed trusted people including the Police and Fire Brigade. The class studied identification badges, uniforms and different emergency vehicles as different ways to identify trusted adults.

We had a fantastic Superhero Day celebrating MOVE. We enjoyed superhero cupcakes and created masks. We played games using the Captain America shields we made yesterday and enjoyed a super villain game. We danced, did exercises and watched the MOVE video which showcased all the great MOVE activities we do at Willowbank. A very happy day.
The Transition boys were Confident Individuals when they completed some work about friends leaving school. They chose a favourite photograph of themselves and a leaver and shared how it made them feel. They also shared how they felt about their friends leaving.
Today was whole school MOVE Day – we all dressed up as Superheros.
We even had a banner and balloons in the atrium for a photo opportunity.
Look at our photos!
We made our own superhero masks this morning with tissue paper and sparkly gems. We also chose our favourite superhero and used the numbered puzzle pieces to help make up the superhero.
This afternoon we were confident individuals and had fun outside playing games. We played musical statues and superhero corners. We have had a great day.

This week in our RHSP lesson we were discussing the body parts that are allowed to be touched in a public place and which body parts are for a private place. Everyone responded to the questions in a mature manner and were confident individuals when being involved in the discussion.
The Transition class were Confident Individuals when they worked through their reflection work on their SQA classes. The boys could confidently indicate what they enjoyed and what they didn’t enjoy. They also gave reasons for their choices. Some excellent hard work was completed.
