Effective Contributors – P.E. Dance

It was our last Scottish dancing lesson this week when Transition class went to P.E. The class were all Effective Contributors when they took part in a minion zumba warm-up. The class were excellent when they tried the Virginia Reel for the first time. Everyone took part with real effort and enjoyment. We finished up by testing our memories by doing a dance from a previous week. Everyone showed that they had been paying attention and danced a flawless St Bernard’s Waltz. Well done everyone. A new P.E. activity will start next week!

Celebrating Robert Burns

We were all confident individuals, successful learners and effective contributors when working together to perform ‘A Red Red Rose’ by Robert Burns.

We learned the signs for the poem and then also added music to it. The Oak class put on a special performance for Ollie at Drake music.  He was extremely impressed by everyone. Well done Oak class.

We enjoyed our Scottish dancing, made mini Robert Burns shortbread and made Burns gift bags.

Scottish Activities Morning – IDL – HWB

*Confident Individuals    *Effective Contributors

We enjoyed a Scottish activities morning in class where we recited Robert Burn’s Selkirk Grace before our snack of pancakes. We used rhythm sticks to tap out the rhythm of ‘Donald Whaur’s Yer Troosers’ and danced the St Bernard’s Waltz. We played boccia with tatties, instead of balls, and had fun welly whanging where we hurled wellies at a target. We played the Hokey Cokey my putting ‘oor richt airm in’ and sang Scottish children’s songs.

We played hopscotch in the garden and created a Robert Burns silhouette picture.

Effective Contributors – New Year work

The Transition class got straight back into the swing of things working on New Year activities. They reflected on their holiday and discovered the traditions and meaning behind different ways to celebrate the New Year. Some pupils read information and answered questions, some used their pen control skills to create a colourful New Year message. We all made New Year’s resolutions and then sang Auld Lang Syne.

Taking turns and playing games

This week we have been focusing on taking turns and playing games. We have used games from the cupboard and enjoyed  exploring them and then with support from staff playing them together.
We played animal dominoes and had to find the same animal to put down next. A class favourite was “Wally the washer”. Each person had a washing line and had to push the button on the washing machine to see what items fell out. We were confident individuals pushing the button which opened the machine door. We then had to put their coloured clothes onto our washing line. We had to wait a long time as each person had a turn. We all waited really well. It was a fun afternoon.
