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.

Staff and Parent Feedback

Posted by in Time

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! See the…read more
