Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Transition boys took lessons outdoors again when they revisited number bonds. This time they were looking at the number groups that make up twelve. The boys found twelve large sticks and spend time dividing them up into two groups of different values. The boys were all Confident Individuals when they wrote their totals on the whiteboards.
As part of digidabble week. The Transition boys were allowed to choose a literacy game on the touch screen. The boys chose ‘Hang Mouse’ a word guessing game. The boys did their hardest not to be caught by the cat! The boys were all Successful Learners when they chose letters to fill in the missing word.
During the lovely weather the Transition boys had a Nature Scavenger Hunt. They were all Effective Contributors as they hunted around for items and shared their answers in the group. The reward for such hard work was a quick shot on the swings before returning to school.
As a part of Digidabble week the Transition boys used their literacy skills to look at song lyrics to try and recreate a well known music video. The boys sat in the shade of the sun to plan their story board. They then used a digital camera to film it on a different day. A link to the video will follow next week but can you guess what song we were looking at? No prizes for the winner unfortunately!

As a continuation of last week, the boys in Transition decided they wanted to do their maths outside. So, the superheroes took to the sensory garden and worked with they tyres adding and subtracting making piles of 5 and 10. They were all Successful Learners during the lesson and even managed to get The Hulk to calm down by doing a little bit of gardening.
It was the last Pupil Council meeting of this term and all the boys in Transition represented their class. They were all Confident Individuals during the week leading up to and during the meeting working hard to cast votes and come up with any new ideas to help them “Be The Best They Can Be” at school. Keiran was our spokesperson for this meeting and he did an excellent job delivering our ideas and decisions to the rest of the school representatives.
On Thursday the boys in Transition were all Effective Contributors when working in the cookery room. We have been focusing on healthy treats in cooking over the past while and decided the boys deserved a wee treat so we made some flapjacks. There was no picture of the final product as the whole thing was devoured by both boys and staff.
The Transition boys numeracy lesson was outside this week where they had to find different ways to count to ten. First they looked around the gardens and collected ten pinecones, they then split then into two groups so the total was ten. The boys discovered that there were many ways to make a total of ten. They showed that they where all Confident Individuals and Successful Learners
