10G Spring Term Week 1- Happy Birthday Mrs Cobham!

Happy new year to you all! We are slowly getting back into the swing of school life after the Christmas break (staff included!).

Over the holidays, Mrs Fisher nipped into school and rearranged the classroom, so our new layout has taken some getting used to. On Tuesday morning we used our iPads…

10G's final day of term

Wahooo! We’ve made it to the end of our first term in 10G in one piece!

On Friday we had a special treat and had a visit to Barton Grange garden centre, followed by chippy dinner and finished off by exchanging our Secret Santa gifts.

In the morning, we all climbed aboard the school minibus…

Super Christmas Signing in 10G

Last week some of the learners in 10G volunteered to be videoed signing Makaton Christmas signs. Mrs Fisher booked the green screen and Mrs Cobham found the signs. We all had a practice before we were videoed. Katie and Lily used their iPads to find some backgrounds that were relevant to the…

Mrs Cobham and some of the learners set the classroom up and we found our Christmas placemats. Everyone had a plate, dish, a spoon and a cup.

We had a variety of breakfast foods including cereal,pain au chocolate, toast…

Secondary Christmas Spectacular

What a Performance we had on Tuesday! 

The secondary department would like to thank all the parents, family, carers and family friends who came to see our show and also those of you who joined from home via video link. It was a wonderful turn out. 

I am sure you will all join me in…

10G are excited that it's nearly Christmas! Week 13

Happy Friday! Another week ticked off and only one more to go until we break up for our Christmas holidays. We are definitely flagging a bit in 10G this week, so many of us have been full of a cold and poorly but we are powering through to get us to the end of next week in one piece!

This week…

10G Calvert- Day Five Friday 25th November

Our final day had finally arrived and we were all very sad to have to leave Calvert Trust!

We packed up all our belongings and went to eat our final breakfast in the dining hall. 

After breakfast, Bea met us up in the Games room to give out our certificates and then we sat around and waited…

10G Calvert- Day Four Thursday 24th November

Another busy day ahead of us, we all get up and dressed and went to get some breakfast. I think there was some slight regret of staying in the pool so late the previous night as we had some very tired and grumpy pupils (and staff!) on Thursday morning.

Our morning activity was the outdoor…

10G Calvert- Day Three Wednesday 23rd November

Another early start for the staff and pupils on Wednesday morning. The weather forecast said rain all day so we weren't holding out much hope for any sunshine.

Off we trotted for breakfast and filled our bodies ready for the day ahead.

We hopped into the minibus with Lou and drove into the…

10G Calvert- Day Two Tuesday 22nd November

Tuesday morning arrived quickly and we were all up bright and early, ready to start the day with a hearty breakfast. It is very easy for us to say that the food at Calvert Trust is out of this world! We had a choice of cereal and fruit and toast, accompanied with a cooked breakfast of bacon, eggs…

10G Calvert- Day One Monday 21st November

I think it is safe to say that there was a buzz of excitement in class that Monday morning! A mixture of nerves, excitement and anticipation. Lots of pupils (and staff) being in the Yellow Zone for a range of reasons.

The morning definitely dragged and we were wishing the time away ready for…
