At Abbey Court School, pupils have put together this ‘Book of Hope’
which we hope will put a smile on your face and be a reminder that
there are brighter times to come.
Pupils on the Secondary site have created their own poems. The theme
‘of better times to come’ shone through in all of them! In classes they
had opportunities to explore a range of different types of poems such as
acrostic, spoken poetry, blank poetry and rhyming poetry.
The pupils shared their work with
two Parent Governors,
Matt Powell and David Lane.
We hope you enjoy reading
‘Pretty Purple Plants’ which won
first place!
Winner: FE2
New Beginnings: Primary Spring Celebration
During these strange and challenging times, we
have all looked for symbols of hope and for better
times to come. Across the nation the rainbow has
brought us all comfort. On the Primary site, each
class were given a colour theme, linking to the
colours of the rainbow, which they used to produce
their flowers. The pupils then donated their artwork
to the local community!
After the
rain comes
the
rainbow!
Key Stage 2 have undertaken a very important regeneration
project. The pupils identified an area on their playground that
they wished to redesign. The pupils met via ‘Teams’ to discuss
and create a design plan. They identified different plants they
wished to grow and have now created a wonderful space for
everyone to enjoy!
Some aspects of the design the pupils discussed were that it
should include fruit and vegetables, a sensory area, a pizza
garden (to grow ingredients to top a pizza), wildflowers to attract
the bees and butterflies, hanging baskets and planters
containing scented flowers for insects. They also wanted the
garden to have a rainbow theme and to hold a Sunflower growing
competition!
Key Stage 2 - Regeneration Project
Getting Back To Normal
As restrictions lift, we have been able to reintroduce Rebound Therapy ,
riding on ‘Tonto’ (our horse simulator) and swimming in our
hydrotherapy pool.
The pupils are focusing on becoming familiar with ‘Tonto’ again and
using their communication aids to make choices.
Pupils have also enjoyed work experience on the farm such as mucking
out the stables and weeding.
