KS5W loved experiencing travelling on the public bus today. All students carried their own Now cards and scanned them to gain access to the bus. They each thanked the driver, sat down and followed instructions while representing the school through modelling excellent behaviour. Well…

We had another superb music session today. We are learning to play Jingle Bells using coloured notes and the letters of the notes. We practiced our songs for the panto and finished off the afternoon listening to relaxing music in the immersive room. What a lovely afternoon.
