Good morning Sunflowers,
I hope you had a lovely weekend. This week the Sunflowers team thought we post some activities related to our new theme “A Bug’s Life”.
Here a some activities you could do this week.
The Sunflowers love cookery so you could make some lovely ladybird biscuits to share with your family. Colour some icing red and cover a digestive biscuit then get some black icing for the spots. Mrs Adair and myself even used some edible eyes.
You could also use your fine motor skills to create some caterpillar like bird feeders. Mrs Russell, Miss Burns and myself found some loop cereal in our cupboard and then threaded them through some string and hung them in our garden for the bird. Before we tied them together they looked like caterpillars. Mrs Miller had some help making her bird feeder from her little girl.
We also looked at shapes. Mrs Russell created a shape picture for you to look at and find shapes and I made shapes with different objects in my garden. Can you spot some of the teddies for some of the songs we sing in class?
Remember to have fun. These are optional activities but if you do complete some please add a comment so we know what you have been up to.
In their Health and Wellbeing lesson this week, the Transition boys looked at emotions and the effect of puberty. They had good fun playing a game which explored all emotions. The boys were Successful Learners and liked sharing their answers with their group.
It was the Transition class’ turn to host the assembly this week. The boys were Responsible Citizens when they told the secondary school how to keep healthy. They demonstrated different ways to stay healthy and Mr Jenkinson even got his make up done as part of a pamper session!
We had lots of fin today and all looked super cool in our Friends of Willowbank t-shirts. We had lots of fun on the bouncy slide and everyone had a turn. We also got to see some very lovely ponies and take them for a little walk around the atrium.
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.
Today we were developing our spreading skills making pizza. We spread the sauce on the base and then grated cheese and sprinkled the cheese on top. The boys were confident individuals using the cheese grater and listened to all the instructions given by staff. The boys were able to choose pepperoni if they wanted it too.
The Transition boys were Confident Individuals when they were practising putting foam evenly on their faces and then their shaving skills ( using dummy razors on balloons). No balloons popped!
