Successful Learners – SQA Numeracy
The Transition class were Successful Learners when they worked with pictograms. They made a pictogram to show different eye colours in the class and the number of people with each colour. They then spent some time understanding a made pictogram about screen time. Some pupil matched numbers from the key, some totaled each bar and others answered short questions to provide conclusions.
The Transition class made a start to the school decorations for Christmas. We started forming parts of the snowman’s head so we can assemble it next week and hang it with the other classes’. The class were Effective Contributors.
It was Remembrance Day this week and the Transition class took the opportunity to visit the Memorial Garden. They were all Responsible Citizens when they explored the poetry cut into the metal, looked at the figures on the benches and looked at the information in the garden. All pupils represented their class well by being very respectful.
Some of the Transition class had their turn to cook bacon and eggs in a healthy way this week. They were all Confident Individuals safely using a hot grill, whisking, making toast and spreading butter. They chose grilling bacon and microwaving scrambled eggs as their healthy preparation choices.
Our Eco Captain kept us in order this week and made sure that our school community was in good order. A group of volunteers was assembled to sort out the corridor recycling into the correct outside bins. They were all Responsible Citizens.
The Transition class were hard at work rehearsing for their Christmas performance. They were all Effective Contributors listening to the music and following instructions. Numeracy skills were called upon to count steps. No clues yet to what our theme is!
Two of the Transition boys were Successful Learners this week when they were challenged with numeracy language. They had to follow cue cards describing where to place balloons. The boys did very well and had great fun whilst completing their work. Well done!

Responsible Citizens – Energy Audit
Continuing their good work from the Climate Conference, the Transition class were Responsible Citizens when they complied the data from the Whole School Energy Audit. This data will be shared at Pupil Council next week.
Bacon and eggs were the order of the day when half of the Transition class took part in their practical cookery lesson. There were all Confident Individuals when they chose a healthier way to prepare bacon (grill) and eggs (scrambled). They used the hot grill very safely and microwaved the eggs. Some pupils used the switches to help start and stop the microwave so that the eggs were cooked to perfection. Only one complaint – Mr Nicoll never saw a scrap of bacon or eggs!
