Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Transition class had a great time in our class Christmas Party. We all had a shot at some ‘Bush Tucker Trials’ trying to rescue chocolate sprouts from jelly, cold noodles, cold baked beans and rice krispies. The reactions of the class were very funny. We also enjoyed some party games before opening our presents from Santa. Merry Christmas!!
The Transition class were Responsible Citizens when they met Santa and his Elf in the Grotto. They were very safe when they roasted marshmallows and were very sensible not to eat them straight away!!! An exciting morning all round!
The Transition class were Successful Learners when they used their numeracy skills to find patterns in small sections of photographs and match them with bigger pictures. The class matched snowmen, presents and all things Christmassy!
Some of the class read a Christmas story then put their story cards into order. After they were secure in their answers we read the story again to check the sequence was correct. They were all Successful Learners and the elves saved the day and helped Santa deliver the presents.
The Transition class were Confident Individuals when we looked at interoception. We were trying to understand how parts of our bodies felts doing different activities. This week it was parts of our faces as we made funny faces and blew bubbles.
It was Christmas Jumper day this week and the Transition class were Effective Contributors wearing a great selection of jumpers. We though it would be apt to pose for some lovely photographs!
During our health and wellbeing time this week, the Transition class studied feedback from their own bodies. We started with our hands and how different activities made them feel. We tried clapping, rolling playdoh, catching a ball and rubbing in hand lotion. Each time we focussed on how our hands felt and how that made us feel. The class were Successful Learners sharing their feelings with each other. We then started to look at feelings in our feet which we will explore further.
The second half of the Transition class had their opportunity to show that they were Responsible Citizens this week. They used their community travel time to complete a litter pick. This also contributed to the school Eco aims. Great effort!
Santa had a problem. One of his letters had been written in code. Fortunately the Transition class were on hand and were Effective Contributors working together to crack the code. Well done everyone on helping Santa understand the letter!
The Transition class were Successful Learners this week when they used IT to help with their literacy challenge. They solved clues to different Christmas words and scanned the QR codes to check their answers. Great focus everyone!
