Willowbank School, KilmarnockThe Snowdrops have been successful learners making colourful pasta shapes and creating pasta necklaces. Everyone contributed effectively – making personal colour choices, signing colour names, taking turns and following simple instructions when dying our pasta shapes. We then used our fine motor skills to thread our coloured pasta onto elastic. It was a fun activity and the Snowdrops confidently showed their work to friends from the Moonbeams during our ice cream parlour enterprise activity.
The Snowdrops were all effective contributors on a visit to The Garage, ten pin bowling. Everyone showed great turn taking and waiting skills. It was lots of fun to see how many skittles we could knock down. You can read our scoreboard at the end to see which Snowdrop won!
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *
The Moonbeams class loved our outing to Glasgow today. We visited Tokyo Toy Store, The Boy Wizard – Harry Potter store, Hamleys toy shop, walked up Buchanan Street and had a lovely lunch in Tony Macaronis.
We visited the library for the last time this term and enjoyed listening to a story about a shark in the park with bookbug. We then went a walk around the Kay park to see if we could see a shark in our park. We didn’t see a shark but we did see lots of ducks and little ducklings too. The boys enjoyed watching the mummy and daddy bring twigs etc to add to the nest and then the ducklings venture out onto the pond.
Patrick was both a Successful Learner and a Confident Individual when he went to collect his award for his winning design in the Scottish Engineering Leaders Award at Strathclyde University along with Mr Nicoll. Patricks design was selected as the winner ahead of thousands of entries. A fantastic achievement. Well done Patrick!!
The Bluebells have been successful learners and effective contributors in cookery this week. They were cracking eggs, whisking and using kitchen appliances safely to make scrambled eggs and toast.
Our maths lesson this week in Transition was counting some random object we have in the classroom by using the whiteboards and magnetic numbers. The boys were all Successful Learners and all did extremely well at counting objects, matching numbers and adding up. Well done to all the boys.
In cooking this week, all the boys in Transition were eggs-tra Confident Individuals when choosing what they would like to make. Everyone chose what their favourite types of eggs are and whether they’d like to use bread or a roll. We had scrambled eggs, fried eggs, an omelette and even some French toast. Everyone had a cracking time and enjoyed an eggs- quisite brunch in cooking.
All the boys in Transition were Responsible Citizens on our classes Summer Outing to Dumfries House on Monday. All the boys enjoyed doing lots of different activities including the play park, the STEM water park and all the games we took along with us. We even managed to find some time to cook up some hotdogs for everyone. Thankfully the rain stayed off and all the boys were nice and dry, well, mostly dry.
We have been learning all about the different animals that live in Africa. we explored the types of animals, where they live and even watched some animals live in their zoo habitats. We recreated the infamous African Serengeti sunset with our chosen African animal.
