Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe sun may have disappeared but the Transition class were full of cheer when they collected in the school sunflower seedlings to plant into the sunflower meadow. They were Responsible Citizens bringing the whole school together by germinating sunflower seeds before making a joint meadow. Hopefully they will flower before we go on summer holiday.
The Transition boys were tasked with checking the new gazebo was working when it was delivered this week. They were Responsible Citizens and made sure that all parts were delivered and it went up and down properly. We look forward to using it with the whole school.
Learning with Sensory Cards, here we identified the object, touched the sensory part, made the Makaton sign and the noise …successful learning indeed!!
MOVE in my Pacer – changing the Board to what I want to watch!!
Identifying Shapes.
Literacy – using the Color Monster characters to help describe the characters in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Outside in the sunshine – a rare sight!!!

Numeracy, we used the story ‘Spinderella‘ this week, lots of counting and clapping!! We also had spiders frozen in ice – not real spiders!!!! We worked on our tolerance of having the cold ice touch our skin, counted the spiders, and identified the different colours.
Which colour is your favourite?
This is the Hairy Godmother.
MOVE – In our Standing Frames watching some counting songs.
Now a note from your ECO-CAPTAIN – reduce, reuse and recycle – well I think these responsible citizens have done all that and more!! Using feed bottles to ‘Feed the Birds’. We all worked as a team on a sustainable goal SDG 17 – hope the birds like them.
The birds need water too….

Turning Art into Sensory Play Fun.
Ready for home – have you had a good week?
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Although the ribbon has not been cut top open the greenhouse and the roof isn’t 100% finished. the Transition boys were Responsible Citizens and managed to make an upcycled table to put their seedling on. Hopefully the sunflowers will continue to grow before being added to a whole school meadow.
As part of their SQA class Personal Presentation, the Transition boys were Responsible Citizens when they proved that they could select appropriate cleaning products to do the laundry. The also demonstrated that they could neatly fold clothes to put them away. No excuses at home now!
The Transition boys were Responsible Citizens this week when they researched and produced an information pamphlet about Climate change. The boys watched a new BBC programme about climate change and two different approaches to helping. They boys then selected small changes that we can make and made them into an information pamphlet.
Responsible Citizens
We planted nasturtium seeds in the garden, for Earth Day, and built a wigwam to support the climbing plants as they grow. We must remember to keep them well watered! We did recycling and energy saving activities plus made a global cupcake flower picture. We also found that reading a story using a torch is not easy so we had better not waste electricity. At science we did a water pollution experiment. What will grow best……..the seeds with water or the seeds with lemon (acid) water? We will see next week.
The Transition boys have been Responsible Citizens and taking part in an up-cycling project for their SQA Eco class. They finished making play roads from pallets and road signs from old AAC lids so had the fun of delivering them to their customers. Lots of fun and smiles all round!

We chose photographs and created an Article 17 poster showing that children have a right to get information that is important to their health and well-being. We watched Newsround to get current information about Covid 19 and did activities relating to this issue and how to keep safe and happy.
The Easter bunny paid a visit to class on Thursday. All the boys were please to see him and receive a chocolate egg. They were all Responsible Citizens. One of the boys wasn’t anywhere to be found when the Easter Bunny was about, I can’t think of a reason why…………
