Willowbank School, KilmarnockWe have been busy taking part in our MOVE group to work on our individual skills whilst interacting with our friends and having fun along the way.
All pupils have been confident individuals and successful learners when using their equipment to work extremely hard on their standing and walking.
The café enterprise group experienced their first “shift” this morning as we opened for the first time this session! All pupils used excellent listening skills and worked very hard in the roles given to them.
We have some very responsible citizens in the secondary department! 
Thank you to the Sunflower class and PC Scott for coming along!
Our Enterprise group are having Fun with Food, we are being confident individuals to try new food that we do not normally like to eat whilst having fun in the process.
It is only our second lesson but we are building up to making meals that we enjoy and making a pictorial recipe cook book which will be on sale at the end of the year.
We have blew bubbles in the milk and some of us made our milk disappear. We all crunched some cheerios, sprinkled in our milk, played with the cheerios in the milk with a spoon, then put some in our mouths.
We used straws to blow the yoghurt about the plate, we played with frozen yoghurt boats, made them swim about the plate then licked them to feel the temperature and have a taste.
We made a tree with breadsticks and the leaves were halved grapes, once the picture was made we licked, bit and some of us ate all the tree.
We have also tried some cheese and gammon slices, we cannot wait until our next lesson to see what we will be exploring next.
With such a busy week with trips to the Galleon and to the cinema to see Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom here are photos of Transition.
The Stars Class made a rain catcher to collect water in the garden. We sieved it through paper to see how clean it was to drink. It was full of dirt and leaves. We are so lucky to have clean water from the tap to drink and wash in. Some boys and girls from abroad are not so lucky and have to drink dirty water from rivers or lakes. We have also planted spring bulbs in the garden. We hope they will grow into colourful daffodils and tulips.
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS *
The Moonbeams Class watched some animated clips about Global Goals. We particularly enjoyed Mr Bean’s Global Goals clip. We looked closely at ‘No Poverty’ and made a poster displaying this global goal.
We have been enjoying mixing with out friends in the primary corridor for literacy streaming.
Our friends working in the Daisies class have been working hard on Phonics and can confidently sort objects by their initial sounds, complete fine motor skills activities and can identify and order letters of the alphabet.
The Daisies have had lots of fun exploring ball skills in PE and are improving control every week.
On Monday we went out on or social outing. We all got a shopping list to look at. we got strapped into the bus and were able to look at the list on the way to Asda. We collected a trolley and went round the shop looking in all the aisles for the items on our list. We had to get bread, croissant, food colouring, sprinkles, chocolate and bread sticks. Once we had all our items we went to the self scan to scan our items and then pay for them. All the boys really enjoyed having a list to check.
The Snowdrops have been practising their cookery skills and doing lots of stirring, mixing and pouring. We all made effective contributions to a variety of cookery tasks. Everyone helped to break up the cooking chocolate and took turns using the switch to activate the microwave and melt our chocolate. It was fun to watch the white chocolate colour change to pink as we wanted our cakes to be like pigs! We had to work hard mixing lots of krispies into the chocolate. To finish our cakes, we added a percy pig head. They looked really tasty!
