Our morning group, everyone is confident individuals and sign in, choose a friend then say ‘Good morning’. Great interaction with class friends every day with no prompting.
So this week we were successful learners making homemade pizza. We made no yeast pizza dough and our own fresh tomato sauce.
Everyone was pleased with the results and it tasted delicious, Our pizza dough was made from flour and low fat natural yoghurt.
Our IDL topic book ‘Pizza Day’ explains about all working together to create lovely healthy food, tidying up afterwards and siting together to share the food we all made.
So, we attempted to make our own pizza dough! Unfortunately we were unsuccessful learners, it didn’t actually turn into pizza dough. Although we were all effective contributors to take our turn at kneading the dough. It turned into a gloopy mess.
So we had to use shop bought version and everyone enjoyed eating it at the end of our FOW Fun day.
We have all had a great day thanks to Friends of Willowbank.
We have seen lots of animals and had fun on the bouncy slide.
We were all responsible citizens and were very gentle with all the animals.
Mr Campbell introduced the Oak boys and staff to Dough Disco today! It was fun and a little bit silly, but helped us develop our fine motor skills. We were all successful learners!
Fun with food this week, we made fruit faces and tasted / licked a variety of food.
All boys were confident individuals to try some of the fruit that they would not normally choose to eat.
Our topic work this term is learning to develop our life skills through our book study, Soup Day & Pizza Day.
We will develop our skills in the following areas;
We made vegetable soup today in cooking, on Monday we made the shopping list for all the ingredients we would need. Today, we were effective contributors to work together to prepare the vegetables and make the soup.
Everyone enjoyed working on our independent life skills, we were all successful learners and achieved success in our own way.
We got our faces a little bit messy, we posed in the mirror and had to wipe our face clean.
Each week we will be taking part in different life skills to help us be more independent and look after our bodies.
