Hi Everyone

Hope you all had a great weekend with your family? Week 5- where has all this term already gone? Thank you to all those parents/care givers who came to discuss their child's progress and 'next steps'. We are all looking forward to seeing the ongoing progress the students will make with your support and input. This triangle of learning is really valuable and important.

Newsletter Week 2

Hi

Thank you again for a wonderful week with your child. We are so impressed yet again with the way they have settled into the daily changes of the programme and are prepared for learning each day. By now every student is bringing home their 'Home and School' book. Please ensure your child is reading every school night, either a school reader or one of their own choice. Record and sign in the front of the 'Home and School Book' please. Basic facts and Maths knowledge is in the middle and spelling at the back.

We would like to begin 'Discovery' and would appreciate helpers to run our Woodwork station( only 10 students per session) and 2 supervise PE and Music activities.  Discovery will be every Monday 10.20-11.30.

Please email if you are able to help. If we get enough helpers we could operate a roster.

regards

Team Work

Students in S4 were trying to work together as a Team. They were trying to save Freddy the worm. His boat capsized and he needed to put his safety ring on and get back into his boat. The students were not able to use their hands, only a paper clip.
