We are currently in the process of making a relaxed reading library for our pupils to access throughout the day in school.
We were very excited to welcome Maddi, who presently studies Art & Design at Oakfield High School and College. Maddi has designed and painted this entire mural independently as apart of her course. We look forward to sharing more photographs of this fantastic space in use with you in the future.
Last week classes across school made some beautiful cards for a local Nursing home that we have began to establish links with.
Today we received some in return from them. The children were super excited to receive them and took great pleasure showcasing their individual cards to friends around school!
Six pupils played Boccia against Green Fold Special School In Bolton. Boccia is a precision ball sport, similar to bocce, and related to bowls and pétanque. The name “boccia” is derived from the Latin word for “boss” – bottia. The children showed amazing teamwork, sportsmanship and skill!We came away with a 2-2 draw!
Pupils from Maple Class went to visit Hope school to play a game of New Aged Kurling. They worked together as a team and enjoyed making new friends. In the end the result was a draw with hope winning 2 and Rowan Tree also winning 2! Well done everyone!
We felt very zen afterwards.
Fir 2 have been working hard to use PECS in all areas of the day. They have been identifying and requesting shapes in the play tray, requesting which PE equipment they want to use and describing what they can see, hear, and feel in our literacy topic. Fir 2 are taking ownership of their PECS books and continue to grow in independence. Doing so many PECS exchanges has helped to develop their communication skills and are all making big strides. Well done Fir 2!
The Birches have been exploring outside in Nature’s Den. They found a big muddy puddle and took turns to jump in. The children attempted to measure how high they could jump, and enjoyed creating patterns with their muddy foot prints.
Once they had finished they all took turns on the swings and requested an adult to push.
