Willowbank School, KilmarnockThis week has been such a busy week and we have not taken as many photos as we normally do.
We were making the “r” sound this week and made rabbits and robots on Monday. We also made a R road on Wednesday. The boys enjoyed making the r sound and doing the action.
We were effective contributors as we enjoyed participating in Children in Need activities. We created colourful masks, made Pudsey cakes, carefully completed dot to dot pictures, played ‘Pudsey Says’ and handled spotty water beads.
The Transition boys have been working very hard at their Literacy and Numeracy Targets this week. They have all been Successful Learners when working on their individual outcomes. We have had reading and answering questions, using technology to follow a story, sharing objects and working with money to name but a few.
The Transition boys were Effective Contributors when working on their kick rounders skills. The boys worked on the timing of their kicks and used their listening and understanding skills to begin to understand when they should run from base to base to avoid being out.

The Arctic Animals were frozen in the ice and we use a hairdryer, and some warm water so we could see the impact that the higher temperatures are having on the Arctic. We all need to do our bit for the environment and be responsible citizens.

With it being Fireworks Night this week, the Transition literacy work and risk identification focused on firework safety. They boys were Successful Learners listening to a fireworks story and helping to identify and solve risks shown. To further test the boys’ risk management we had a stand up – sit down quiz on fireworks safety. They boys showed that they are mature young men who understand how to have fun on fireworks night but also keep themselves and others safe.
We were successful learners learning about animal habitats. We correctly matched different animals to the desert, icy north pole, ocean, park, steamy jungle and woodland areas.
The Stars class enjoyed a fantastic Hallowe’en week. We did Hallowe’en hard work, iced biscuits and did art and craft. On Friday we dressed up and enjoyed party activities, a sociable snack and a virtual parade. We had a blast!
The Stars class were effective contributors by making invitations and planning a picnic in the garden.
The Stars class were successful learners as we collected sticks and stones in the garden in order to write the initial letter of our forenames.
