Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Transition boys focused very well during their outdoor P.E. lesson. They were improving their overarm throw and some were re-enforcing their catching skills. The effort was outstanding and the boys had lots of fun. They showed that they were Confident Individuals by listening well and following instructions to make their throws on target.
The Transition boys were Successful Learners when trying out the new sports camera in class. The boys used the tripod to keep the camera still and aimed it by looking through the digital view-finder. The boys then practiced using the remote control to take a picture.
The Transition boys were Responsible Citizens while re-cycling plastic bottles to make a roof for the greenhouse in the garden. They put the cut bottles onto long canes, secured these with tape and took them out to the greenhouse to put them under waterproof sheeting. This will help insulate the greenhouse and help stop the water collecting on the roof.
The Transition boys were Effective Contributes while changing notes in time to the music during their music session. The boys used their numeracy skills to count the beat so that they knew when to change note. SSE Hydro here we come!

It was risky business again this week in the Transition class! The class were Responsible Citizens when they discussed the risks in a park and a swimming pool. They identified the risks on the interactive board and marked it down on their worksheets.
The Transition boys got mucky this week. Instead of working in the mud growing their vegetables the boys got stuck in making mud pies! They were Confident Individuals mixing the soil with the water and making their own shapes. Lots of scrubbing of hands ensued afterwards!
The boys were Responsible Citizens whilst upcycling the greenhouse using plastic from the RAF. They all contributed by unfolding the plastic laying it across the top of the greenhouse and helping cut to size to fit before it was stapled down.
The Transition boys were Successful Learners during their reading time this week. Some boys read to each other, some used technology to advance through their story and some read along with staff and answered questions. A lovely calm, hardworking time!
