Back at Willowbank
The Stars Class have been getting to know our new class these past two weeks. We have been playing ‘getting to know you’ games and have been enjoying time outside in the sunshine. We worked hard clearing the weeds that had grown over the summer in our planter. They were huge! After the weeds were removed we were able to find the potatoes, onions and peas that we had grown. We discussed our feelings and emotions then made playdoh faces. See if you can recognise our emotions – happy, sad, upset, angry, surprised, excited and sleepy.

We’re back!
The Transition boys are back and straight into their hard work. We took advantage of the sun and worked on our maths skills outside. The boys chose a small number of items then added ten more. The boys must have been well rested after their holidays because they put in a tremendous effort and were Successful Learners.

FAOL – Outdoor Learning
The Stars class have had a good ‘Play on the longest day’ week. We created nature’s crowns, painted with natural paint brushes, did leaf printing, had a picnic in the garden, planted peas and green beans, did number work, had a colour treasure hunt, played on the playground equipment and had story time. We had a busy and enjoyable week.

Bush Tucker Treasure Hunt
The Stars class invited the Sungazers class to a Bush Tucker Treasure Hunt in the sensory garden. We looked for fruit pictured in our worksheet and counted them. Afterwards we had a sociable snack together in the Stars class. Everybody seemed to have a good time.
The Stars class have planted vegetable plants in the school garden. We have planted peas, courgettes, pumpkins, carrots, onions and potatoes. We keep them well watered and hope we will have a healthy crop of vegetables to harvest after the holidays.

Maths is a very fun thing!
Our maths lesson this week in Transition was counting some random object we have in the classroom by using the whiteboards and magnetic numbers. The boys were all Successful Learners and all did extremely well at counting objects, matching numbers and adding up. Well done to all the boys.

Glasgow Science Centre
We had a fantastic summer trip to the Science Centre today. Lots of exhibits to explore and we visited a ‘Fun With Forces’ workshop where we worked with magnets and rockets. Our sociable lunch was pretty good too.
