Willowbank School, KilmarnockAs part of science week some of the boys investigated the browning of apples. They were Confident Individuals adding each solution to the cut apples and making predictions about the efficacy of each. We discovered that lemon juice was the most efficient at preventing browning, with vinegar a close second. Apple slices with lemon tastes OK but the ones with vinegar were a bit sour!
The Transition class were Successful Learners this week when completing their numeracy tasks. They boys had to sort tins by type onto a shelf and match times and timings to different activities. Great work boys!
As part of their SQA class the Transition Class have been looking at different board games and outdoor games. Before lockdown they looked at Dominoes and Kick Rounders. The boys showed that they were Successful Learners and how well they had learnt these game by playing them with minimal reminders even though they hadn’t been playing over lockdown. Excellent work boys!
With the weather being so nice the Transition class managed to get straight back into their upcycling projects. The class are Responsible Citizens cutting down on waste items by re-purposing them. We are nearing the end of our Bottle Greenhouse build and making and collecting each item for the recycled pallet road project. The boys put in excellent effort.
The Transition class returned to school this week and got straight to work being Effective Contributors. The boys were contributing to a whole school display about LGBT+. They decorated butterflies with the colours of the rainbow and different materials to make them as interesting as they could be.

Hello Transition class,
I hope you are all well and not too cold with this recent spell of cold weather! It looks like it will be cold for a while, but happily this means that it should be a bit drier and you can maybe get out for a walk. I’ve assigned you new books for this week and some tasks. I hope you enjoy them.

Hello Transition class, it’s Monday again! It’s a bit of an exciting week for home learning this week. We have a new resource to use called Giglets. I will email you your login details. This week’s task with Giglets is to read the first book and get used to how it works. I will set different books and tasks in future weeks.
Have any of you read or looked at the book called ‘The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse’ By Charlie Mackesy ?The author and artist has drawn some new pictures that need to be coloured in. They give us a time to be calm and to think. I hope you enjoy them. Don’t forget that I’d love to see your work so take some photos and email them to me.
