Today we walked to The Hub to visit one of our classmates who is working there this half term. It was lovely to order and pay for our drinks and then be served. We used communication boards to order what we wanted. We had a great time. All of us will get a turn to work in the cafe in the year…

Pupil’s in 4L enjoyed a lovely final afternoon together before moving for transitions on Monday.
