Room 14 Pasta Extravaganza

What happened if you mix music, pasta, and a huge drum?

Turns out, pasta can dance!

Room 14 found out during our Pasta Extravaganza.

We attached loudspeakers to the underside of a large drum covered in pasta and used the computer to create music. The boys all did really well and enjoyed feeling the vibrations through the drum and watching the pasta dance.

Well done!

Planting and Growing in Room 12

This week we have been doing some growing to coincide with 30 Days Wild:

We have made some decoupage pots and will be planting something in them next week (possibly alpine strawberries if the cuttings take!)

We also planted bean pots inside a paper tube, with some beans on the outside. This means the plant will grow inside the tube but we also will see the roots growing on the beans on the outside.

We are then going on to make and grow cress caterpillars!

Room 13 Review the Year

Can’t believe that that’s another school year gone by!

It has been a very strange and unsettling year but we’ve all come through it, hopefully stronger and wiser for it.

The students wanted to post their favourite photo of themselves for the year, so here goes!

Wishing everyone a very happy, calm and well deserved holiday.

Tree Planting in Outdoor Education

We were very grateful to have trees given to us by the Woodland Trust. We have planted these at the front of the school to create our very own orchard. Thanks to Sharon for supporting us with this project, and for all the hard work she’s put into Outdoor Education this session.

Room 14 also helped to ‘plant a tree for the Queen’s Jubilee’, planting a Christmas tree at the front of the school. How long do you think it will take for it to grow taller than you?

Hair Washing for ASDAN

Some of the pupils in Room 16 chose that they wanted to learn how to wash hair as part of their ASDAN award. They practised brushing hair, rinsing, applying shampoo and conditioner and drying it. We were all very impressed with how careful everyone was – there was no shampoo in anyone’s eyes! The end results were fantastic and there were two very happy staff customers.
