Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Stars Class rehearsed hard to learn our dance for the school Christmas concert. As angels we danced to Michael Buble’s ‘Save the Last Dance for me’ to critical acclaim from the ‘Lights, Camel, Action’ judges. We enjoyed learning and performing our dance.
The Stars Class enjoyed a visit to The Garage where we played a fun filled game of 10 Pin bowling. We even managed a few strikes!
The Transition boys enjoyed a Christmas Story on the board this week. They were all Effective Contributors helping to find things on the screen and helping to tell the story.
The Transition boys were Effective Contributors at assembly this week. The theme was Hanukkah and the boys contributed well to the sensory work at each station. The boys enjoyed tasting food, making decorations and looking at different lights.
The Stars Class created chocolate Santa sleighs to sell at the Christmas Market. They were made of candy canes, chocolate and toffees. They sold really quickly. We also made an igloo snow globe display for the atrium.
As part of their Work Experience class this week the Transition boys helped to put up the Christmas Tree. The lights were in the usual tangle so the boys were Effective Contributors and applied their problem solving skills. They untangled the lights and wrapped them around plastic lids. This allowed us to pass them around the tree without any birds nests or knots. Well done boys, it was a great effort!
The Transition boys were Effective Contributors when they finished their Christmas Craft items. They all focussed very well when they use the sewing machine and made sure they were safe. They filled their items with rice and made the instructions. If you want to find out what they made you can buy them at the Willowbank Christmas Fair. See you there!
The Transition boys were Effective Contributors this week when they were working in the cookery room. They used their literacy skills to follow the recipe and their numeracy skills to weigh and measure ingredients. The boys successfully made delicious chocolate cakes
The Stars class explored Article 23 – ‘If I have a disability, I have the right to special care and education. We compared a special school in Dubai with Willowbank and found them very similar. Their weather was far better though!
Pupil’s brought in chocolate recipes for homework. We chose photographs for recipe cards and laminated them to stop them getting splashed in the kitchen. Some recipes were tried and tested at HE.
