Successful Learners – Numeracy
The Transition class had some more sweets to sort into groups this week. They were Successful Learners when they made rows of sweets to compare numbers. We discovered that the split of sweets in a Heroes packet is fairly even. As usual, the sweets that no-one likes were present in the highest number (toffee eclairs – yuck!), and there was one solitary Twirl.

The Transition class took part in different types of Hallowe’en Literacy this week. They were all Successful Learners when they completed word searches, CVC spelling, Eye spy sheets and a whole class CVC treasure hunt.
The Transition class spent an afternoon making spooky treats. We used food colouring to make green, orange and black icing. Each pupil chose either a pumpkin or a spider and drew it in icing. We added decoration before scoffing the lot!
The Transition class broke into their Hallowe’en stash early this week! They were Successful Learners when they categorised the tub of sweets to see how many of each they had. We started off on the floor but Mr Nicoll suddenly remembered that he was old, so we made the final rows of sweets on the table. We discovered that the most common sweet was a refresher bar closely followed by parma violets (yuck!)
