Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Transition boys were Successful Learners this week when they learned about frogs during a literacy lesson. We used the Giglets website to read and listen to a description of the life cycle of a frog. The boys were then tested on what they remembered with an online quiz. 100% correct!
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…………
The Transition boys were Confident Individuals taking part in Easter Activities. We made some beautiful butterflies and had an egg hunt in the class.
There was a flurry of excitement this week when we tried a costume for our next group performance. No spoilers but the coat was amazing and it had many colours
.
The Transition boys applied their literacy skills to some Easter work this week. They were Successful Learners following instructions read aloud to choose the correct colours and fill in the picture of the Easter Bunny
The Transition were Effective Contributors when they finished one of their upcycling projects. The roads and road signs are ready for delivery to the primary classes after the Easter Holiday. The boys at the beginning of the week used their numeracy skills to measure and count to make up their order to finish one of our other projects, the bottle greenhouse. Well done boys!
Due to current restrictions we find ourselves sitting at our desks more that we would normally. The class were Responsible Citizens when Mr Cameron led them in a stretch and move session. They followed instructions very well to take responsibility for their own health. We all felt a lot better after the session!
The boys were Effective Contributors as they continued their trials of different group games, trying out sand bowls on different surfaces. We found out that the sand bowls run a lot further on the playground surface compared to the grass! We also found out that Mr Nicoll may have had a lot of practice growing up! The boys also consolidated their kick rounder skills for fielding by practicing their throwing and catching. The boys seemed to take great delight in stumping out the staff!
As part of their Personal Presentation topic, the Transition boys focused on repairs this week. They were Successful Learners when they sewed a button onto material. They were very patient when threading the needle and pushing the needle through the button. We can now replace missing buttons and may start a small business charging 20p a button!
The Transition boys were Confident Individuals this week when planning the end of their greenhouse build. The roof needs to be completed but we are low on materials. The boys successfully measured the length of each cane to make sure we could get the correct ones. They counted rows on the back of the greenhouse to calculate how many canes would be needed for the roof. Finally they counted the number of bottles in each row to work out how many bottles we would need. 33 rows with 10 bottles on each equals 330 bottles! We also took the opportunity to neaten up the top of the canes and tidy up.
