Our year 11’s have had a lovely first day at Midstream garden centre. All the students have been kitted out with fresh uniform to prepare them for 2 weeks of hard work. Our students will be spending 2 weeks in the horticulture department and working in the kitchen.

We worked hard in PE today practicing our fine and gross motor skills. We used our core strength to sit down and kick and throw balls too. 

Finally, we enjoyed a relaxation session. 

Students took part in choosing a Keyring to make as part of their Design Technology lesson.

Students chose individual designs and watched a demonstration of how the School Laser Cutter Machine works to create precise designs. The students found the process fascinating.

One of our students from KS4C {Casey} went to do some work experience in another school with a student who is also Visually Impaired.

KS4W loved their community visit, using the public bus, to look at flowers and gardening equipment. They finished off their morning with a visit to a cafe. Students were impeccably behaved at all times. Even members of the public and the cafe staff commented on how well behaved and polite students…

KS4C have been learning about healthy eating and unhealthy food choices. They decided to cook a fake away and will compare the calories from their fake away against the usual take away version to see which is healthier.

All students worked as part of a team and helped each other.

Students built on skills learned through PE such as balance, core strength, fine and gross motor movements and teamwork. They loved playing Simon Says and then balloon bounce.

KS4W are learning all about horticulture during the summer term. For our first week, we went on a bird hunt around the school grounds and then a short walk in the community to see what birds we could spot. We then made some homemade bird feeders and hung them outside our classroom for the wildlife…

Students loved using My Maths to revise and consolidate their learning. 

Students loved visiting the park and having lunch at the cafe.

They used their own money and ordered their food independently.

All students practiced safety skills in the community and were impeccably behaved.

Well done!

Pupils in KS4L used their independence skills to get the bus to the Concourse.

Pupils: waited for the bus, scanned their bus passes, navigated around the Concourse and followed a shopping list.

Pupils were very responsible and fantastic role models.
