Ash SNAPS visit

Ash SNAPS visit

As part of an Ash Careers lesson, we took a visit to SNAPs in Bridport, Shoe Lane to see their Toys, Games and Collectibles shop. One of our students caught an interview with Tim using questions we’d planned in class. Tim shared how we can turn our passions and special interests into work when we’re older. Students then selected some interesting products from around the shop to explore and examine and some even completed transactions. We finished with a masterclass in painting miniatures. Thanks Tim and Jamie for inviting us into your lovely shop for our Careers lesson.

October Half-Term activities at Bridport Museum

October Half-Term activities at Bridport Museum

This October half term, Bridport Museum are running bat-themed Halloween activities at the Museum.
Children can make their own bat decoration, follow a bat-themed trail around the Museum, get a tasty prize, and learn a bit more about why bats aren’t as spooky as they seem.

All activities are included with entry. It’s free for children and under 21s, (£5 for adults).
Many local parents will already have an annual pass so it will be no cost in that case, and would be great to see more families in the museum this half term.

Rowan class sailing at Portland Sailing Centre

Rowan class sailing at Portland Sailing Centre

Rowan class had an amazing time sailing on Tuesday 14th October. We went out in 2 boats and also had fun paddleboarding. Despite the autumn chill, we all still had great fun jumping off the paddle boards into the sea! Some of us were a little nervous to begin with but we overcame it and felt so proud after. On the way home, we all said that we would love to go again!

Juniper sailing at Portland Sailing Centre

Juniper sailing at Portland Sailing Centre

Juniper class enjoyed a trip to Portland  to set sail on the Weymouth waters. We joined our friends in Oak class in the sail boats and headed out across the harbour. It was a great experience for all the boys and was fully accessible for everyone . Staff at the centre were very accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us all. Both Juniper boys got so much out of the hours sail, giving them a sense of freedom and enjoying the wind on their faces, thankfully the weather stayed on our side and we saw the sunshine. We hope to have this experience again  in the future.

Rowan Class – Bank of Dreams and Nightmares

On Wednesday 17th September, The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares came into Rowan class to carry out a workshop on speech writing. This was a really fun and engaging morning and we all wrote some excellent speeches. Many thanks to Ed, Nick, Diana and Lizzie who came in and made our morning magical. We especially loved the badge making! They will be back in the spring term for another session with our work typed up too!
