Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Transition class were Successful Learners when they extended their numeracy task by sending each other for different amounts of fruit. The boys had to be careful and check they had the correct number of items before delivering it to their classmates.
The Transition boys were Successful Learners this week when they used their numeracy skills in a cafe in the classroom. The boys had to sort their money, pick their items for lunch, calculate the total and hand over the correct money. Unfortunately all the food was plastic so we missed out on a mega feast!

During Health and Wellbeing time in class the Transition boys were Confident Individuals when looking at food labels and selecting healthy foods. Some boys played top trumps with the labels trying to select foods that had the best salt, fat and sugar content. The rest of the class helped plan a celebration menu but tried their best to make it balanced and mostly healthy. I think fizzy juice was snuck onto the list!
