The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning
To finish a lovely week, the Transition boys took part in ‘The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ on behalf on McMillan Cancer Support. The boys were Responsible Citizens helping to raise money for such a good cause. The Transition boys enjoyed eating the muffins they had made on Thursday and, rumour has it, there was even some dancing to be enjoyed. Great fun all round!

Keep your balance!
In P.E. this week the Transition boys were Successful Learners as they worked on their balancing and throwing skills. Their challenges included standing on one leg for the longest, balancing a quoit on their heads and throwing and catching whilst doing all of the above! The boys rose to the challenge and finished off with a balancing whilst walking distance competition.

Muffin Magic!
The Transition boys were Confident Individuals this week when they made muffins for the Macmillan Cancer Support ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’. The boys carefully measured out the dry mixture, the water and milk and cracked two eggs into the bowl before mixing well. The muffin mix was carefully spooned into paper cases and baked in a hot oven. The boys reported that they tasted very nice!

Shut the Box
The Transition boys were Effective Contributors when they played ‘Shut the Box’ this week (Mr Nicoll’s favourite game!). They had to make their own dice from a template and add the correct number of dots. The boys then worked in pairs to try and roll combinations of numbers which corresponded to the numbers from two to twelve. The first team to complete this, shut the box.

This week has been quick and very busy. Some of us enjoyed being in for full days and have enjoyed all the fun activities. We have been looking at the letter and sound “S” this week. We did lots of activities about “S”. We enjoyed looking in Mr Tumble’s spotty bag for “s” and things beginning with “s”. We were finding magnetic letters in spaghetti, we made our own spiders and played with the fish swimming in the water.
We also had a special job to do. We had to get our foot painted to make something special for later in the year. All the Sunflower boys really enjoyed this and have tickly feet.

FAOL – Outdoor Learning
The Snowdrops have been out in our school playground gathering sticks. Everyone worked together finding small sticks that had blown onto the ground in the school garden. We managed to fill a whole tray! The Snowdrops used the sticks to create a house of sticks, just like the little pig had made in our story. All our houses are now on our class wall for everyone to see.
We made four different smoothies, Orange, Pineapple, Banana and Blueberry. We followed our pictorial, written and sequencer recipes. Were all responsible for making a different smoothie. We did a taste test at the end and the most popular smoothie was the pineapple one.
Angus has been enjoying going to PE with his friends, he is confident when using the apparatus. It is great to see all the boys interacting together.
The Oak boy band in the making are working so very hard with all their songs, our playlist is up to four songs. Well done boys for being successful learners and all working together as a group.
Pet Therapy, the bearded dragon! Anthony loved this and enjoyed watching Lizzy have a snack on some grasshoppers and worms.
We have also celebrated Blake’s Birthday, sharing presents, playing some games and baking him a delicious chocolate cake! It was very tasty!

Swimming with the Sungazers
All pupils have established a great rapport with the new staff working with them this term. They enter in the pool area finding their buoyancy aids. Listening to instruction is paying of; so that all pupils are practising and repeating their skills loads and loads. Smiles all around!
