On Monday it was Remembrance Day. All of 7A went outside with the rest of the school and our very own Mrs Chaloner played the Last Post on her cornet. Everyone was extremely respectful whilst observing the 2 minute silence.

We had music with Miss Troughton again this week and drummed along to…

On Monday morning this week 7A had our Sharing our Learning session.

Parents were invited in to see everything they had been learning about Diwali.

Mrs Chaloner showed the photos from last week and the learners told them what was happening and the different things they had learnt. 7A and…

Welcome back to Autumn 2 - this will be a long term with lots of exciting things happening along the way, leading up to Christmas! As I forgot to publish the blog at the end of last term, some of the photos are of our last week in term 1 - apologies! 

The week started off with us making some…

Week 7 We did it in 7P!

Well, what an awesome half term we have had in the new 7P of 2024-2025. 

It’s been lovely getting to know all the learners individually as the weeks have gone by and of course them getting to know us. 

We have done cooking in food tech, (hope you have enjoyed…

Our ‘new’ fruit this week was blackberries. Most of us really liked them as they were very sweet but one person gave them a 2.5 out of 10. On Monday afternoon we had Miss Troughton for My Creativity. We did a witches and wizards dot to dot and a maze. It was really hard work to find the correct…

This week in English, we thought of a place we would like to visit on holiday and created a word bank to describe it. We then used these words to tell our families about our holiday on a postcard. We had to be sure to not write too much, as postcards aren't very big, but I think we all got across…

Our ‘new’ food this week was passion fruit. Everyone that tried it liked it, with some saying it was sweet and a few saying it was sour. On Wednesday the students were learning more on the topic Witches and Wizards. We drew our own wizards, discussed names and different spells they could…

Week 4 Cooking and Visiting the Library 

This week 7P started their “Food Technology” and “Community Access” sessions.

One group visited the local…

We have had a fabulous first fortnight in 7A! There are 6 learners in our class who have joined Astley Park in September, so we have taken every opportunity to get to know each other. 
So far we have found out that together we have lots of siblings, lots of pets and that pizza is a firm favourite…

9P have enjoyed a busy, and enjoyable week. 

One of our favourite activities during the week was going outside in the sunshine to watch some of our older pupils taking part in a colour run and obstacle course, to raise money for a good cause. 
This was great fun and it was lovely to have such…

On Monday morning we did some maths puzzles and games, we really enjoyed them. Then we did some reading. In the afternoon we painted our World War 2 model planes. Some of us found it really relaxing, some of us found it messy but we all enjoyed it. Then we did the blog and our friends did…

It has been a lovely week in 8P and we have all been busy taking part in lots of different activities. 

To help us with our maths, we had a trip out to a local supermarket where we chose things from our  shopping list. We each took turns to pick items up from the shelves, but the best part was…
