Today we had the privilege of meeting Sarah from Derian House. She gave us loads of information about the hospice and was able to confirm some of our research findings.

Pupils enjoyed asking questions which they had prepared. 
 

We were proud to give Sarah some Christmas cards we have…

Alongside our usual chocolate Advent calendar- this year Mrs McShane and all of us in 11G decided that we would do something a little bit different- we came up with an idea to help people in our local community by making a donation of foods and toiletries to our local food bank, we are…

10R would like to thank everyone who has bought a Gingerbread Friend. We have sold out in 2 days!
 

We asked for more boxes but unfortunately we have been told there are no more boxes available to sell. They certainly have been popular this year! We apologise  for anyone who…

10G had a very busy week last week. We loved reading The Gingerbread Man story as part of our Functional English work and we had fun joining in with the repeated rhyme. We got a little messy as part of our Attention Autism session but showed very good listening and found the mess very funny! Our…

This week 10R have been introduced to the game of hockey. We have learned how to hold the stick correctly and how to move the ball round. We dribbled the ball in and out of the cones and then we tried to get the ball past our partner. It was good fun and we are looking forward to learning more…

We were worried that the weather was going to be wet but the sun shone and the students had a fantastic time, showing their head for heights. It was great to see them putting mind over matter as they scaled the tree climb and held their nerve balancing on the crate stack. After a lovely lunch, we…
