Dear 7R,

It has been a very strange week with most of you learning from home this week. Miss Beck, Miss O’Connell and I are missing you all so much but we are so glad that you are keeping safe at home! We will be blogging weekly so that you can all see what each other have been up to each week…

Hello Everyone!!!

Welcome to my first blog in this crazy new world and the sun is shining!!!

I know that the last few days have been very confusing for the adults let alone the children, so I firstly wanted to say that you are all doing an amazing job with your young people, so…

This week Oak Class have been spoilt for choice with a selection of fruit, toast and biscuits for snack time. 

We created our own little healthy cafe and Oak class used their own words to request what they wanted to try. 

• Josh’s favourite was the apple. 
• Amelia was very happy we…

Last Monday, Mr Darbyshire led our assembly and we learned about the traditional Hindu festival ‘The Holi Festival’. Some of us got to have a turn using powder paint to create colour clouds. 

Back in Oak class we explored colour through lots of activities. Miss Cross did an Attention…

Last Friday, Oak had their belated Rainbow Day and celebrated how we are all different. 

First we read the story ‘We Are All Different’. We took turns using mirrors to talk about how we all look and what we had that was the same or different. Oscar told us he had glasses and Tig said he…

This week Oak Class have been making bird feeders. On Thursdays Mrs Banks did an attention autism to show us all what we needed to do, she squashed some lard and then sprinkled, squashed and rolled bird seed into it, she then added a string so we could hang them up for the birds to get. Afterwards…

There are not many pupils left in 8G at the moment so we decided to scrap the groups and instead, all bake together for a change. We also got to work with Mrs Carney and Miss Robinson too this afternoon which has been lovely as well. Butterfly buns were on the agenda today.

As always, we made…

7R have spent the afternoon learning about healthy eating. First we watched an information video about different food groups and why they are important for the body. We learnt that diary foods help our teeth and bones stay strong, carbohydrates give us energy, proteins help our muscles repair and…

As a special treat 8G and 8R went for lunch to The Astley.

We all did lovely talking to our friends and showed The Astley staff what super manners we have!!

We have come away with full tummies and big smiles :-)

Last week 7G had a great time at the Zoo! 
 

It was a very wet day but we saw lots of different animals! We talked about what animals we could see and if they were doing anything! 
 

We saw elephants being fed branches and apples, giraffes eating straw, a meerkat lying down having a nap…

Last week 7G celebrated Holi festival. This is a Hindu festival where the coming of spring is celebrated through lots of colourful activities. 

7G chose red as their colour to come into school in. All the children had an item of clothing on that was red. 
With Mr Murphy in the morning they all…
