The Moonbeams loved hosting a pizza party for our friends. We created placemats, menus and made pizzas and ice cream sundaes. We invited our friends in the Snowdrops and Sungazers classes to be our guests and they all had lots of fun!
The Sunflowers have created these amazing watercolour pictures, inspired by famous French artist, Claude Monet.
The boys gathered fallen leaves from the sensory garden and placed them onto paper which was saturated with water. They then added droplets of paint and left the pictures to dry before peeling off the leaves. A very interesting art resource which created impressive results. Successful learners all round!

The Stars class invited the Sungazers class to a Bush Tucker Treasure Hunt in the sensory garden. We looked for fruit pictured in our worksheet and counted them. Afterwards we had a sociable snack together in the Stars class. Everybody seemed to have a good time.
The Stars class have planted vegetable plants in the school garden. We have planted peas, courgettes, pumpkins, carrots, onions and potatoes. We keep them well watered and hope we will have a healthy crop of vegetables to harvest after the holidays.
After all of the their hard work thought out this year Transition Boys were all Confident individuals as we celebrated with Prize Giving. Friends of Willowbank gave all the boys lovely baseball hats. Congratulations boys for all your hard work!
