A few pupils from across school will be visiting Meadowbank primary School every Thursday afternoon to develop their communication, PSHE skills and play skills with new friends. Today, a few children from maple 2 went for their first visit. They enjoyed icing cakes, filling and emptying porridge oats, rolling and shaping playdough, games on the computer plus outside play!
As part of the well-being curriculum Oak 2 went boating. The pupils and staff listened to safety instructions and put on life jackets then all climbed into the bell boat and went for a tour around Scotsman’s flash. The pupils and staff used the ore to row the boat around (they had some help from the instructor).
We ended our Bendrigg adventure with s’mores and awards for the brilliant week of adventure they have had. We are so proud of every pupil for giving their best and trying new activities.
In the afternoon we journeyed to North Yorkshire to explore some real caves. We learned about how caves are made and saw a giant waterfall and paddled in the pool it runs too.
We began our day with preparation for our outdoor caving expedition by going into the indoor cave.
We ended today by taking a trip down Bendriggs giant super slide and exploring the main play area.
We were able to choose from some of our favourite activities in the afternoon, we went on the bikes, sensory swing and the park.
We started day 3 of our holiday with a paddle around the lake. We learned how to put together the canoes and how to row them as a team.
In the evening some of us chose to go into the indoor cave, we explored the cave using our head torches alone and made up some of our own games to play.
