This week as well as lots of hard work we also saw some beautiful friendships forming and team work amongst the amazing amount of learning this week – what a mixture of different experiences our young people took part in:
- Human rights & equality work
- Bug hunting
- Clip & Climb
- Makeup
- Cooking
- Making slime and chemical reactions
- Maths / Shapes / Spellings
- Plumbing & Carpentry
- Football
- Building a river
- Metal detection
- Museum Visits
- Cat projects
Lets first of all look at some of those great friendships forming:
And team work is needed when building a river….
Teamwork is also needed when on the pitch…
Clip and Climb – more of an individual sport, but a fantastic way to keep fit, help with co-ordination and being super brave!
This week some of our young people were learning about human rights, the equality act and cross national comparisons of law and order. We were learning about angles, spellings, ious spellings, shapes, maths and alphabet tracing.
What an amazing amount of variety with our cooking this week: Burgers, Risotto, Tuna Pasta, Enchiladas and Raspberry White Chocolate Cookies and popcorn.
A new kitchen sink installation in our new unit in Lowestoft and trying out a new skill of tiling- think we have found his spark!
Bug hunting, this week’s favorite a Woodlouse or Goodmouse 🙂
Making friends and eating cake at the food museum!
Carpentry – making a bench this week and trying out some shiny new equipment at Newmarket 2.
And a little woodwork at Moreton Hall too.
A project over in Newmarket 1 for a pair of adjustable saw stands – practicing welding safely.
Slime making and looking at chemical reactions.
Slime provides a kind of ‘sensory play’, which helps to engage a young persons senses, stimulate creativity, and can have a calming, in-the-moment effect. It also triggers the curiosity – the gooey texture of slime occupies a weird middle ground between solid and liquid.
Learning chemistry is a great way for kids to learn scientific methods and deductive reasoning skills and when it involves slime its just good fun!
Multi-tasking – doing maths whilst having your hair done.
A little pond dipping – trawling the shallows of a pond to capture the pond-dwelling creatures that are abundant in spring and summer.
Poster making to help attract visitors to our Cat Café Project.
We finish this week with some stunning photography of Bluebells in the forest
Our Ethos
No one can begin to affect the world around them until they are CONFIDENT , COMFORTABLE, happy in their own skin and have found their SPARK! We take the time to understand and develop programmes from where the learner is in the world not where we think they should be.
