Willowbank School, KilmarnockAs is traditional at the end of every term, the Transition class applied their literacy skills to evaluate their learning. The boys were Confident Individuals filling in their forms and giving their opinions on different learning tasks. Thanks for the feedback boys.
The Transition class were Successful Learners when they extended their numeracy task by sending each other for different amounts of fruit. The boys had to be careful and check they had the correct number of items before delivering it to their classmates.
Our two leavers spent time this week completing their artwork that will be displayed in the school corridor. They were Effective Contributors by making artwork for the school that will remind us of them, once they have left.
During Health and Wellbeing time the Transition class were Confident Individuals when we discussed what to do when you get lost. The boys confidently listed trusted people including the Police and Fire Brigade. The class studied identification badges, uniforms and different emergency vehicles as different ways to identify trusted adults.
The Transition boys were Responsible Citizens when they checked the new school gazebo. They read the instructions and checked all the moving parts before setting it up and checking that it was all in good working order. We understand how it works and are ready to set up for next week’s Garden Party.
The Transition class were working towards the end of Peter Pan this week. They were Successful Learners using their literacy skills to listen to the audio from the digital book and using their fine motor skills to dot paint a picture. This will help them further develop their writing motor skills. We chose to paint Captain Hook, he is our favourite baddy!
Confident Individuals and Successful Learners
To celebrate POLO/Den Day, the Sunflower class actively participated in a variety of outdoor activities including catching bubbles and chalk painting. Each child loved time playing on the seesaws, balancing trail, roundabout and swings. We also loved making our own den’s and relaxing with some sensory lights and music to end the day.
The Transition boys were Successful Learners this week when they used their numeracy skills in a cafe in the classroom. The boys had to sort their money, pick their items for lunch, calculate the total and hand over the correct money. Unfortunately all the food was plastic so we missed out on a mega feast!
We enjoyed a lot of art this week, we have our class beach party next week. We have been getting decorations made to have the class ready for our beach party.
We were successful learners during our literacy listening work, we turned numbers into pictures. We were very proud of our work!
Today we were celebrating the power of outdoor learning. We combined this with our moment in history for our country. We were all effective contributors to make a Scotland flag with our chalk sticks. Then we wrote ‘COME ON SCOTLAND’. Great team work in the Oak class here!
We had fun trying out a water trick, we had a cup with a small amount of water in it, then a ping pong ball. We had to swirl the water round and round and then drop the cup to see how high we could get the ball to catapult up into the sky.
