Willowbank School, KilmarnockWe were all effective contributors when attempting to make our candy cane swiss roll. We all had a job to do to make our mixture, we all showed great determination to make it work. We wanted to end the year with a success! So need to make a second batch of mixture, it turned out not bad!
Santa came to visit us at Willowbank this week, he came with some elf helpers from Whitelees Retreat.
Everyone was happy to see Santa and we all got a flashing light up toy.
The Transition boys Confident Individuals in their P.E. class. The boys had two areas. One was a body weight circuit and one was using the fitness machines in school. Every boy made a fantastic effort. Well done!
The Transition boys enjoyed a Christmas Story on the board this week. They were all Effective Contributors helping to find things on the screen and helping to tell the story.
The Transition boys were Successful Learners this week when they used their numeracy skills to solve a Christmas Puzzle. The boys solved sums in the boxes and matched their answers to the colour key. The result was a Christmas picture. Well done boys!
We were very lucky yesterday and Santa came to school to visit all the classes. He was in the sensory room and all the classes got to go and see him. We all put on Santa hats etc and stood next to Santa to get a picture. 
All the children seemed to really enjoy seeing Santa and received a sensory present. We were all confident individuals and all stood next to Santa.
