This week classes at Astley Park have been focussing on smashing stereotypes. Stereotypes restrict the ways in which we see ourselves, others and the world around us. They make us jump to conclusions, which can stop us from getting an accurate picture.  We have been learning…

This week in Sycamore we have enjoyed reading our story ‘Toys in Space’. Mrs Lane shared Toys In Space through a sensory story. The children enjoyed exploring the book before using their amazing phonics skills to build some words from the story. 
A real busy week trying super hard with our…

It’s been another busy week in Willow class. Unfortunately a couple of our fabulous teaching assistants have been unwell, but we are so proud that all the pupils have coped well with lots of new faces helping in class. We’ve done lots of assessments all week, so today we enjoyed making chocolate…

8P had a fantastic time at the SPACE Centre today! 
They all made very good choices and we all had the best time.

We can’t wait to go again in two weeks. 
Keep up the good work, 8P!
 

This week we have been enjoying a community visit to the park.

We all walked very sensibly, holding hands and looking for dangers.

At the park we enjoyed exploring all the different areas with our friends.

Well done all and have a lovely weekend.

We then had a walk to…

This week 8A was introduced to our new topic, “To Infinity and Beyond”.

We have looked very closely at the moon, and the learners used describing words to write a small poem about how the moon looks. There was some brilliant words used by the learners and some good sentence…

This week Beech class have been on a bear hunt!

In attention autism, Mrs Barrand first led us through the sensory story. Then, we all had a turn at exploring the obstacles from the story ourselves. We swished through the grass, splashed through the water, squelched through the mud, stumbled…

Yesterday 11R had their first visit to Chorley in Bloom! We walked from school to the main site and met the volunteers who would be helping us during our sessions.

Iris sat us down and talked through some basic safety instructions we would need to follow whilst on site; including no running and…

Yesterday afternoon, we had a practice go at making them, learning…
