Fairtrade Fun
This week the Stars class have learnt about Fairtrade and made tasty mars bar cake for the Willowbank Bake Off. We heard about Pablo the Banana and his banana journey. On Friday we played Fairtrade games in the hall with the Sungazers and Moonbeams and enjoyed a Monkey Hunt. On outings we sourced produce with the Fairtrade logo on.

P-P-P-P-Purple Friday
On Friday the boys were Effective Contributors when they took part in Purple Day. In the morning they spent time on purple sensory activities and in the afternoon we shared our learning in the assembly hall. The boys showed their LGBT flags and their pictures of scenes from the ‘Jump!’ book. The sharing ended with a balletbody popping performance!

LGBT at Willowbank
The Stars class did lots of LGBT activities this week. We read the book, ‘Together’, and discussed friendship. We explored different families and how to be a good friend then chose what activities we would most like to do with our friends. Parachute games was very popular! We created rainbow flags, a friendship poster and made rainbow cakes at HE. On Purple Friday we had a showcase of our learning in the hall where we showed a video of us singing, ‘I Love You’.

Cracking Cooking!
The Transition boys decided to try cooking eggs in different ways to pick a favourite. They had an eggs-cellent time! They were Effective Contributors with all tasks; setting the table, making the toast, cracking the eggs, adding eggs to a hot pan, taking the tea order and waiting until everything was ready so the class could share their meal. The boys were sensible – no yolking around!
The boys made scrambled, poach, boiled and fried eggs. The boys really looked forward to it and fortunately it was all it was cracked up to be. They were all eggs-hausted once all the washing up was finished.

Sensory Circuits
This week the Transition boys were given the chance to take part in sensory circuits. This was an opportunity to make different body movements with different equipment to reduce stress and tension. The boys were Effective Contributors in this class and seemed to really enjoy themselves.
The Stars class explored the problem of poverty and the unfortunate need for food banks. On our class outing we chose non-perishable cereal to buy and donate to the food bank collection box in Tesco’s.
