What a fabulous first week back we’ve had in 4L! The class have returned with lots of enthusiasm and energy. It’s been wonderful to see everyone socialising with their friends, settling back into routines, and engaging with their learning.

This week, we’ve been diving into our new science…

Today KS5 S+W were super excited to visit Haigh Hall for the first time, they enjoyed soft axe throwing and archery. 

Students in KS4 have been progressing with their designs for their D/T lesson where they are creating their own box games

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. 

KS3S have been enjoying accessing oral sensory kits to give them additional oral stimulation prior to teeth brushing. This intervention has led to students now accepting tooth brushes in their mouths, and some students are being completely independent with their teeth brushing.

Well done…

Students in KS3S had a brilliant final week of Summer term 1. They’ve enjoyed PE, communication games, crafts, immersive room sessions and time outdoors. 
 

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.

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.

KS4 MATP group have been working hard in their PE lessons. We’ve worked on our warm ups and stretches, enjoyed parachute games and also started to introduce volleyball using inflatable balls.
