Rebound with the Daisy’s and swimming FAOL

Can I just apologise for not having the camera handy when we were needing to set up in the Atrium quickly as the Friend of Willowbank had there very successful and love thank you event set up in the PE-hall.

I was too busy organising myself but………….Amazing !  How confident the Daisy’s performed with the interruptions from adults and pupils coming through still concentrating on the task at hand. Those who were lucky enough to see us, all got a boost from our performances and left with a smile on their faces.

In Swimming the Daisy’s all come with positive anticipation. Helping with the changing and drying and getting dressed afterwards where they can. We worked on our front and back and under water for some. We tried woggles, floats and balls. We swam for objects like small balls and ducks. When feeling confident we have one boys Hayden who can swim for a while without armbands, and a girl Chloe who can very shortly float on her back without armbands. All pupils still stay under close supervision at all times when we do these challenges though. Again thank you staff and pupils to make it such a successful year and pleasure to work with you.

Rebound and PE with the Snow drops and Swimming/Hydro

Can I just say what a super year it has been working with the pupils and the staff. The progress is subtle but so profound and important. Strength in body’s but also development in communication eye contact and facial expression, simple hand gestures, Makaton signs, voice use. It all happens when we feel good. What a confidence boost !

In Rebound we have worked on flexibility for some, balance in sit, hands and knees, high kneeling and standing.

In PE we have worked on relays as seen at Sports Day. Sitting and standing walking on and over obstacles,  rolling; crawling through the tunnel, working with hoops and hoola as long as we can; using trampette; cylinders and the big ball.

In Swimming and Hydro again we have worked hard and had lots of fun and challenges with great results. All pupils looking forward to come to the Willowbank Pool and having big smiles and motivation to get in has been great to see. Again with the superb staff support it makes for a fantastic learning and working enviroment.

The Stars at Rebound , PE and Hydro FAOL

The girls at the Stars have all been learning to keep balance in sitting, hands and knees position, high kneeling and standing. When they show strength in the day to cope with a walking challenge on the trampoline we have done so too. gradually understanding of the different positions has become clearer and thy are concentrating to keep the position for longer with support. Well done girls.

In PE we have been preparing for Sports day as well as training on our general stamina with movements on the mat, walking around and over obstacles. Standing in lift pants. working our core. sitting down and standing up; skills and strength exercises to make it easier to get about in our day. I’m very proud of pupils and staff that work so well together making it hard work and fun at the same time. Well done everyone.

In hydro and swim we have seen hard work from pupils and staff alike. Smiley faces while performing our weekly workouts made fun with music, lights  and challenges. Well done by all.

Villain Stories!

* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS *

The Moonbeams class have enjoyed listening to stories and watching animated clips then sorting the characters into hero and villain categories.

We looked closely at the villains and described them in our own words, what they looked like, where they lived and what they did to be villains.

Then, we created our own villain stories and read them aloud to our friends.
