The Transition boys were Successful Learners when working on their numeracy skills. They had to divide items up among different numbers of recipients. They all focused and work very well.

In our music class this week the boys looked at changing tempo. The were Effective Contributors when they all worked together, tapping out the beat of Nellie the Elephant. The boys used their numeracy skills to recognise and say when the song was fast or slow. We also compared different songs and discussed which was faster or slower. The boys were so good that they didn’t fall for the trick where two different songs of the same tempo were played with paced dancers. The class tapped out the same tempo each time.

The Transition numeracy time took a spooky turn this week when the boys played a dice game against the staff. The boys had to roll the dice and see who could complete the most numbered characters. The boys were Successful Learners by counting the dots on the dice and matching it to the number on their characters. The boys beat the staff with ease!
‘If music be the food of love’………the Transition boys certainly played on! The boys worked together as Effective Contributors using musical and numeracy skills to keep in time and change notes when prompted. It came together very well and we had a very harmonious afternoon. We ended with a group conductor session to Hallowe’en classics!
The Transition boys showed that they are Confident Individuals when preparing for personal care. Each boy identified the personal care item and made a collection of items that were the same. They all indicated their preference of scent. The boys came up smelling of roses!

IDL – Numeracy
During numeracy this week we have lots of fun exploring little jumping frogs. We had to focus and develop fine motor skills to push down using our finger to make the frog jump forward. We then used bricks to measure how many bricks the frog could jump over. There were lots of smiles at the frog jumper across the table. All pupils were supported to push down on the frog to make it jump. Some were able to do this independently. Some pupils were able to count the bricks that the frog hand jumped over. We were all successful learners joining in and taking turns.
