The pupils of the Dog Class (third and fourth year/autistic pupils) learned in class about the Roman Empire. One day they started to a very special excursion. They used their teachers mobile for following the actionbound orders through the town. They had to find their way and overcome a lot of challenges such as finding informations, create bulidings or caring for each other. They all had a lot of fun, although they were really unlucky with the weather.
The Frog Class (first year) experienced another Pirates Day. (This was not the exchange with the Rocket Class but another one.) The young pirates had to be successful in three team challenges. First they had to count pirate flags on the playground. The second task asked the children to sort in a row in accordance to their height without talking.

Hi everyone, Hope you are all enjoying your projects. Here in England we have completed our work on ‘Time’. Feedback from staff about the process was interesting and positive. We also asked for feedback from parents, carers and other visitors who attended our exhibition day. Again, this was on the whole very positive. One area we will address is supporting new parents on their first visit to events in school, as one person felt she would have benefited from more guidance. We look forward to our next theme!

Today we send you some impressions of our Pirates Adventure Day in the Rocket Class. It is a group of autistic children in their first and second year in school. The idea of the day was that young pirate pupils need to pass some (of course very difficult and dangerous) exams to become real pirates. They need to help each other because otherwise they won’t be successful.
