Willowbank School, KilmarnockWe have been responsible citizens and observed Scottish weather and have enjoyed acting as weather reporter each morning to share what the weather is like each day.
We created our own weather symbols, then used the SmartBoard to report the weather to our classmates.
On Thursday the Transition Boys were given a photograph of a shop front and a shopping list. Their task was to find the correct shop in the Burn’s Mall and then to find their own items from the list and buy it with the correct money. Some of the boys went by bus and the others walked into town. They all showed that they were Responsible Citizens and Confident Individuals
The Transition boys had great fun in the snow with their shiny new sledges, which they won for naming the “The Nitty Gritter” gritter. They were all Resposible Citizens helping the younger pupils in the snow and sharing their sledge.
The Transition class became the head chefs in the school for a day when they helped Jan in the kitchen to make the soup for the Burns’ supper on Friday. They were all Responsible Citizens when working in the cookery room. Everyone thought it would only be fair that the boys got to taste the soup first so they all buttered some bread and had bowl each. Dee-lish.
Transition boys were Responsible Citizens when they went out in the community to visit a café and then returned back to school on a public bus. They put their passes on the machine successfully and collected their ticket.
The Stars class made bird feeders to feed to hungry birds in our sensory garden during the cold weather. We mixed together lard and bird seed then filled yogurt pots we’d saved from snack time. The pots were tied up high around the garden for the birds to access.
Following on from the Transition Boys’ Healthy/Unhealthy lesson they explored alternative cooking methods to make a cooked breakfast healthy. The boys were all Responsible Citizens when they correctly identified the correct kitchen equipment and used it in a safe manner. Some of the boys took charge of the drinks orders and made sure that everyone was well looked after.
Transition boys were Responsible Citizens when they visited the Crowne Plaza Hotel for the Variety Club Christmas party. They had great fun with all their friends and their behaviour was a credit to Willowbank School. All the staff were exceptionally proud.
The Beech and Transition classes joined forces this week for a social outing to Gemmell’s Garden Centre! Every pupil had a ball and were very responsible citizens throughout the morning. We enjoyed some shopping, experienced the beautiful and calming Christmas lights as well as took turns to try ice-skating or driving round a track! We then enjoyed some snacks and hot chocolate in the lovely cafe.
On Wednesday morning the Transition boys took part in a Sensory St. Andrew’s Assembly. They were all Responsible Citizens as they took part in a variety of activities including, hand painting thistles, identifying the famous Scot and modelling a thistle. I think we all agree that our favourite station was tasting Scottish food. I’d share some photographs of that but the food disappeared in the blink of an eye!
