Willowbank School, KilmarnockThere was a slight change of plan on Wednesday afternoon when the boys in Transition got a free taster session with a Virtual reality headset. Some of the boys went Deep sea diving, up in a hot air balloon and even went wing suit flying. Patrick took the deep sea diving very seriously and was swimming about the classroom. They were all very Responsible Citizens with the equipment and were very thankful to the man who brought it in for us to try.
Now all the boys in Transition are all settled and enjoying their time with new classmates, it was time to see what each boy was looking forward to the most for the upcoming year. There was a selection of words given to them and each boy had to make a list of things they were looking forward to being a part of around the school. (We didn’t mention the C word even though its only 16 weeks away). All the boys were Confident Individuals and have all set some very interesting goals.
For our Health & Wellbeing section this week, the boys in Transition did a quiz to see what foods were healthy and what foods weren’t. Everyone took turns to come up to the board and select a food and put it to the correct side, healthy or unhealthy. The boys were all Effective Contributors and even chose their favourite foods to eat and put this on a worksheet. Crisps seem to be a majority favourite.
On Wednesday, the Transition Class got a visit from Cooper the therapy dog. There was lots of fun had and lots of doggy drool to go with it. Copper brought his favourite ball for all the boys to throw for him and everyone loved it. Cooper even gave out some cuddles to our boys and made their day.
The boys in Transition have been practicing their money this week and have been doing excellent with it. From sorting coins into correct ascending order to playing a shopkeeper game and buying items at the listed price. All boys were successful learners and thoroughly enjoyed the activity.
The Transition boys were Responsible Citizens on Friday afternoon when they tackled their weekly chores. There is now no excuse at home as the following photographs will evidence! Each boy managed to make a bed and fold some clothes very successfully!
The Transition boys put in a lot of effort and were Confident Individuals when they completed there movement and balance circuits. The boys had to balance on logs, walk like crabs, hop like frogs and many other activities.
The Transition boys were Effective Contributors this week when they decided the weather was perhaps a little too wet and built their den indoors. All of the boys decided on the design and once it was completed there was even time for a wee hot chocolate!
The Transition boys were Successful Learners when they revisited their money skills after the summer. They sorted coined into groups and made common totals from different coins.
The Transition boys are back and straight into their hard work. We took advantage of the sun and worked on our maths skills outside. The boys chose a small number of items then added ten more. The boys must have been well rested after their holidays because they put in a tremendous effort and were Successful Learners.
