Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Transition boys were Effective Contributors when they successfully planned and completed the decoration of their eggs for Easter. The boys chose a cactus theme and contributed to an overall display. They all learned how to stain their eggs and then add the fine detail. The class then had great fun rolling their eggs on Thursday morning.
The Transition boys were Successful Learners this week during their gardening time. We were excited to see that the seeds planted before the Easter Holidays had germinated. The class used their numeracy skills to divide the plants up evenly to be planted outside. Everything was planted out neatly and we look forward to watching our vegetables grow.
The boys in the Transition class were all Effective Contributors today in the cookery room. They were practising their peeling and chopping skills and ended up making some corned beef hash with the potatoes they peeled. Obviously while the potatoes were cooking the boys got to have a little treat so made their own Easter Baskets using chocolate and shredded wheat. There was even enough spare that all the staff got to enjoy one.
We had a little bit of fun today in the Transition class but at the same time helped the boys towards their independence. The transition boys played a game of kitbag where they had to be the fastest team to put on a selection of clothes from a kitbag. They were all Responsible Citizens and helped each other out with shirt buttons and shoe laces. Ethan and Oliver were the winners by a fine margin. Well Done boys.
We changed things up a bit in the Transition class this week for Numeracy by planting some seeds to grow different vegetables. All the boys were Confident Individuals when asked to count out a certain amount of seeds to plant in the pots. The boys did an excellent job and all cant wait to taste the freshly frown vegetables later in the year.

The Boys were Responsible Citizens during community travel. Some boys walked into town and the some travelled by bus. We all met up in Burns’ Mall and searched for items from our shopping list. Some were harder to find than others!
