Movies for Magale

On our last day of term Mrs Strachan and the Global Group organised a Movies for Magale Day. Children could opt into a movie they wanted to watch and also dress down in their own clothes.

We raised an amazing £200 for our partner school in Magale. A big well done to the Global Group and to everyone who donated.

World Autism Awareness Day

Today we celebrated World Autism Awareness Day.

We all wore our favourite colours to show how we are all different.

Mr Ullathorne, one of our parents who works with Autism Initiatives took workshops with P2-7. They discussed autistic super powers, neurodiversity and sensory overload.

A big thank you to Mr Ullathorne for giving up his time to come and work with us.

Great fun today taking workshops with children from P2-P7 for #WorldAutismAwarenessDay.. Talked autistic superpowers, neurodiversity & meeting each others' sensory needs.. Proud to work with @AutismInit to support people to have control & choice in life ❤https://t.co/IypN9stJQS
