World Book Day

Last day of the World Book Day celebrations.

We have had lots going on this week to celebrate World Book Day.

Invited storytellers came into school and we also had a story from the child smile team.

Our senior management team led stories on Thursday and Friday and we finished off the week with a whole school assembly.

Classes have been engaging in lots of imaginative activities to
foster an enjoyment of reading.

We’ve had the Hungry caterpillar, Flat Stanley, the Gingerbread Man, the Smartest Giant in Town, the Borrowers and the seniors have been attending the library at Woodfarm High School to read some books. Flat Stanley treasure hunts took place around the school and the ISS@Ims group performed an interactive
“The Smartest Giant in Town” for the Family Centre pupils.

At this afternoons assembly, certificates were awarded to the
best dressed, and classes all presented about the activities
they undertook for the week.
The young people were so proud of their achievements and
took great delight explaining all about their book topics.

Thank you to Miss Dewhurst and Mrs Barron for organising World Book Day 2016

Research Study

Would you like to take part in a research study?

Dr Lisa McCann is a researcher from the University of Surrey and she would like to invite families with children and young
people under 19 years old living with undiagnosed complex health care needs to participate in a research study.
Lisa is interested to learn about ways in which technology could
help support families to stay at home with their children and
young people, but families don¹t need to know about or be using technology to take part in this study. There are two ways families can take part ­- either by participating in an interview with Lisa
or by completing a short survey.

If you would like to know more about the study and think you may be able to help, please contact Lisa on l.mccann@surrey.ac.uk or 0141 249 0921 to discuss further.
