Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe boys were Effective Contributors as they continued their trials of different group games, trying out sand bowls on different surfaces. We found out that the sand bowls run a lot further on the playground surface compared to the grass! We also found out that Mr Nicoll may have had a lot of practice growing up! The boys also consolidated their kick rounder skills for fielding by practicing their throwing and catching. The boys seemed to take great delight in stumping out the staff!
The Transition boys were outside practising their skills with the football. The boys took turns at kicking the ball and gave support to others with clapping when someone hit the target. This made the boys Effective Contributors. They applied their kicking skills to the game to try and send the ball away from the fielders to try and get a home run.
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 Transition boys were Confident Individuals during P.E. They had to throw the ball at the target and if they missed had to do a lap round the playground! The highest score was three in a row!!
After improving their over arm throwing technique, the Transition boys focused more on accuracy this week in P.E. They were Confident Individuals and hit the smaller target well.
The Transition boys focused very well during their outdoor P.E. lesson. They were improving their overarm throw and some were re-enforcing their catching skills. The effort was outstanding and the boys had lots of fun. They showed that they were Confident Individuals by listening well and following instructions to make their throws on target.
The Transition class were Effective Contributors when they had a chance to be active in the classroom. The boys took part in some story yoga and the story choice had to be The Very Hungry Caterpillar ! The boys used their literacy listening and understanding skills to listen to the story and follow the instructions.
