Students in KS4C worked as a team to take each others temperatures, estimate the reading then document their findings. It was a fun pack lesson. Great team work.

This term we have been working on length and capacity. In today’s lesson, students drew around their hands and feet and cut them out. They then used their cutouts to measure how many hands/feet different objects were around school.

During our Friday afternoon lesson, KS4W enjoyed a sensory story called The Querks. The students took part playing different characters in the story and really enjoyed it. We then had a class discussion about what makes us all different and unique. 

Every Wednesday, a group of students take part in their Preston North End program which consists of theory work followed by sports. This week they visited a local gym to complete fitness circuits as part of their accreditations.

Key Stage 5 S had a great day celebrating Australia Day. We made didgeridoos and enjoyed listening to and playing instruments along to Australia themed music.

KS5W have been learning about groups they belong to for their Asdan The Wider World module. They started by thinking about their family and shared pictures of them with their friends. They learned that all families are different and that their family is a group that they belong to. 

KS5 students have been learning about rotating shapes. They have been learning about quarter, half, three-quarter and whole turns. They explored this by rotating their bodies while another student, acting as the teacher, called out the rotation to make.
