Macmillan Day
The Stars class made mars bar cake which we sold in school for Macmillan Day. There was only one piece left………….and that didn’t last long back in class! We are proud to say we made £9.90 to donate to the appeal. We participated in Friday afternoon activities. We iced biscuits, created a colourful cupcake picture, made a fizzing green volcano and enjoyed sensory handling. A great afternoon was had by all.

Stars Present Assembly
This week the Stars class presented assembly where we talked about being ‘included’ and included other classes by asking them to vote for their favourite song to dance to at the end. The Proclaimers, ‘500 Miles’, was the winning song. We also enjoyed a colour treasure hunt in the garden and had a wonderful sensory experience exploring chocolate ‘Angel Delight’.

Music
The Transition boys enjoyed an afternoon of music. They were Effective Contributors by using I-pads, shakers and bells to keep in time to the beat.

Food Glorious Foooooood
For our Health & Wellbeing section this week, the boys in Transition did a quiz to see what foods were healthy and what foods weren’t. Everyone took turns to come up to the board and select a food and put it to the correct side, healthy or unhealthy. The boys were all Effective Contributors and even chose their favourite foods to eat and put this on a worksheet. Crisps seem to be a majority favourite.

Real Home Made Soup
The Stars class used potatoes and onions we grew in the garden to make vegetable soup at H.E. We worked really hard to prepare and chop the vegetables. It tasted delicious.

Outside In
The Transition boys were Effective Contributors this week when they decided the weather was perhaps a little too wet and built their den indoors. All of the boys decided on the design and once it was completed there was even time for a wee hot chocolate!

Back at Willowbank
The Stars Class have been getting to know our new class these past two weeks. We have been playing ‘getting to know you’ games and have been enjoying time outside in the sunshine. We worked hard clearing the weeds that had grown over the summer in our planter. They were huge! After the weeds were removed we were able to find the potatoes, onions and peas that we had grown. We discussed our feelings and emotions then made playdoh faces. See if you can recognise our emotions – happy, sad, upset, angry, surprised, excited and sleepy.
