Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Transition boys were all Successful Learners making totals with money in a Numeracy lesson. The boys had to make sure not to go over the total asked for or the Evil Banker (Mr Nicoll) would keep the extra! Luckily all boys managed to keep their correct change.
The Transition boys cooked up a storm again this Thursday. They were all Successful Learners when they remembered the steps to create the perfect sharing meal. The table was set correctly, tea was made in the pot and a variety of different styles of French toast was created. Knife and fork skills were thoroughly tested until we were full! A great social sharing time.
Looks like rain dear (reindeer!) haha!……….Anyway… Santa was very kind and found some spare time when he could lend us his Reindeer for an afternoon. The Transition boys were Confident Individuals getting up close to pat and feed them. They even got to sit in the sleigh! Lucky boys!
On Wednesday morning the Transition boys took part in a Sensory St. Andrew’s Assembly. They were all Responsible Citizens as they took part in a variety of activities including, hand painting thistles, identifying the famous Scot and modelling a thistle. I think we all agree that our favourite station was tasting Scottish food. I’d share some photographs of that but the food disappeared in the blink of an eye!
This week the Transition boys wrote some pages for their diary. They were all Effective Contributors and wrote about what they had got up to at the weekend. Topics ranged from watching sports to attending the Willowbank Christmas Fair. All very interesting!
Today in the Transition class we were effective contributors when making delicious pizzas, we also added our favourite toppings. Bella Bella!
The Eco group recycled an item that would usually be thrown in the bin. The pencil shavings from sharpened pencils were gathered and then used to create a picture of a tree and a butterfly.
It was a very relaxing and fun activity to create something beautiful from rubbish that would have been thrown away. The boys were effective contributors using items to recycle and creating something new.
There will be a lot more exciting recycling projects happening over the next few weeks, with a Christmas theme.
It’s Monday again and hopefully the Transition boys have had some time to recover over the weekend after the party we had on Friday afternoon for Children in Need. The boys all enjoyed playing games such as ‘Stick the Spots on Pudsey’, ‘Pie Face’ and ‘Twister’. We even had our own little Bounce-a-thon for Children in Need. Best bit of all though was everyone getting their own back at Mr Nicoll on Pie Face.
On Wednesday, it was the turn of the Transition boys to host the assembly for the secondary department which was a Remembrance service. All the boys were Successful Learners on the lead up to and during the assembly. They all took part in different activities like creating their own poppy and were even lucky enough to try on some uniforms that our soldiers would have worn
.
The boys in the Transition class have all been Effective Contributors this week as we have started our preparations for our school Christmas show. Every day we have been practising our signing and have made our Christmas tree decoration to go on the display wall.
