Willowbank School, KilmarnockFor our Health & Wellbeing section this week, the boys in Transition did a quiz to see what foods were healthy and what foods weren’t. Everyone took turns to come up to the board and select a food and put it to the correct side, healthy or unhealthy. The boys were all Effective Contributors and even chose their favourite foods to eat and put this on a worksheet. Crisps seem to be a majority favourite.
*Responsible Citizens* *Confident Individuals*
As part of their Food and Technologies theme, this week the Moonbeams enjoyed working together and being responsible while cooking spaghetti and toast and making milkshakes in the cookery room. They demonstrated that they were confident while enjoying some exploratory art with food and kitchen utensils.
On Wednesday, the Transition Class got a visit from Cooper the therapy dog. There was lots of fun had and lots of doggy drool to go with it. Copper brought his favourite ball for all the boys to throw for him and everyone loved it. Cooper even gave out some cuddles to our boys and made their day.
The boys in Transition have been practicing their money this week and have been doing excellent with it. From sorting coins into correct ascending order to playing a shopkeeper game and buying items at the listed price. All boys were successful learners and thoroughly enjoyed the activity.
team building!

The Bluebells class have been very busy since we came back to school. We are all aware of our new morning routine.

We also have written calendars where we overwrite or independently write the date.
Finally, we participate in sensory weather activities which we really enjoy!
Everyone enjoyed creating these Superhero pictures to go alongside our class charter! We are all effective contributors within our class.
