Two students in KS3S demonstrated one of our four school values of “Friendship” this week by playing chase together in the outdoor gym area. Both students have been working on their communication and interaction skills over the last 9 weeks and are now able to demonstrate the transfer of these…

Students have been learning about different shapes. They have been learning their names, how many sides they have and vertices. They were able to complete worksheets to demonstrate their knowledge of the shapes.

students from KS3C had a brilliant PE lesson learning how to complete circuits. They all worked in small groups and completed each station with their partner. They completed the circuit twice to see if they were able to improve their first scores. During the activity they spoke about how they felt…

Students from KS3 had fun finding their answers to their maths problems using body boards to get from one end of the hall to the other. They worked as a team to find the answers and raced each other to get back to their teams.

In Computing today, 3L have been collecting data from tuff trays and representing the data using Microsoft Excel. Students sorted classroom items in the tuff trays, counted how many of each item there were and then this information was recorded in a table on a spreadsheet, then a bar graph was…

This week in KS3S we’ve been revisiting the core word “go” and using it in lots of different ways. Students really enjoyed using the Glow and Go robot and making it “go” by pressing the buttons to make it move, light up and play music. We’ve also enjoyed learning about Africa, had PE with Miss…

KS3S have loved engaging in some camping role play as part of Switzerland week! We sing campfire songs, explored tents, sat with a drink and marshmallows in camping chairs and got dressed up!

This week in KS3S we have been focusing on the core word “big” and have been responding to, and using, the word “big” in lots of ways. Students have enjoyed blowing bubble, making towers, exploring dinosaurs and their size, and reading books. We’ve also enjoyed doing lots of gross and fine motor…

For the last few weeks, 3H have been enjoying the book, "My Granny went to market" as a sensory story. 

In a circle, the students sat tight,
With "My Granny went to market" in sight.
They touched, smelled, and heard,
Every magical word,
As their senses took off in pure…

KS3S had a quick visit to the library, before spending time on the near-by park.  

A group of friends dashed from the shelves,
To the park where they laughed by themselves.
On the slide, they took flight,
With shouts of delight,
As their stories spun magic like elves!
