Go Green for Halloween Disco
Thank You to Miss Philo and class Islay for organising our “Go Green for Halloween Disco” this afternoon.
We started off with the primary disco and then the senior pupils took to the dance floor, great fun had by everyone.
Prizes were awarded to the best fancy dress and we had some really good ideas this year.
Mr Holmes as usual entertained everyone with his dance moves.
Mrs Clark was even escorted out of the disco for her “bad” dance moves………..
Go Green for Halloween
Pupils and staff dressed up in green today for “Go Green for Halloween” to support NSPCC charity.
We had some activities organised by class Islay to raise money for NSPCC. The sensory challenge box was a particular favourite and the chocolate dipped popcorn and apples went down a treat.
Brogan helped out at the creative corner and encouraged her friends to create a Halloween picture.

The aroma was amazing and everyone enjoyed having a taste.
Mirror Movements
Lovely interactions during an individual dance session with Ruth, one of our dance specialists.
C was so engrossed in the session and initiating some of his own moves for Ruth to copy. He was so proud of himself.
Well done
