What a wet, blustery day! The Snowdrops have been experiencing the sights, sounds and feelings of rain! Some of us enjoyed splashing in puddles and some liked the sound of the rain from underneath an umbrella.

The Bluebells class have been working really hard this term on our Christmas nativity. We have all taken on a role of either mice or spiders, have learned the words and signs for many songs and have been practising dances related to the story.
We have now moved our rehearsals to the Gym Hall and we are all coping really well with this and are looking forward to you seeing the final result.

The Transition boys were Confident Individuals during their Health and Wellbeing lesson. We looked at different characteristics and chose those which we would like to see in a friend. It was interesting to see the choices the boys made. Some were the same but each boy had a few characteristics that were different.
The Transition boys were Effective Contributors at assembly this week. The theme was Hanukkah and the boys contributed well to the sensory work at each station. The boys enjoyed tasting food, making decorations and looking at different lights.
