Dear Community,
Please see the following information from Toby Henderson Trust. I do hope that you find it useful.
We would like to share details of our next Open day:
The Toby Henderson Trust (TTHT) at the Autism Hub will be hosting a Summer drop-in Garden party, giving everyone the opportunity to come along to meet the team, learn more about what we do, whilst enjoying some refreshments in our ‘Tranquillity Garden’. We also hope it will be an opportunity to help build on the communities understanding of Autism and inclusivity for all autistic individuals and their families. Whether you have a local business, work/live in the area, are a South Tyneside professional or parent/carer we would love for you to come along.
Date: Tuesday 18th June 2024 10am – 2pm.
Introduction to Makaton workshop for families:
We are offering a free ‘Introduction to Makaton’ Family Workshop on Monday 24th June, 10.00am-12.30pm, delivered by Makaton Tutor Anna Melling from Talk to the Hand Makaton Training (limited places available).

TTHT ‘Out & About’ in the community:
We understand through feedback received from families that it can be pretty tough, when your ‘cup is already full’ to come along to somewhere new and access support for the first time with people you have never met before. That’s why the team are so passionate about finding ways to break down those barriers and get ‘out and about’ in the community so families can meet us, have a chat and feel comfortable and reassured to come along to access our services at the autism hub.
We decided this summer we would add to the many ways we do this by planning a local ‘Walk & Talk’ event. This is a chance for anyone to meet us and join the TTHT at the Autism Hub Team on a relaxed walk and talk along the South Shields Coastline.
Wednesday 17th July 10am – 11am.
Full details can be found on the poster attached. No booking is required for this event.
As part of our work around the book ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’ this week, the nursery children had lots of fun making some healthy ham salad sandwiches.
We talked about why we need to wash our hands before preparing food and the importance of a healthy, balanced diet.
The children used their fine motor skills to spread the butter, chop the cucumber and tomato (with help from a grown up) and cut their sandwiches. They did a great job and we had some very happy faces when they sat down to eat them too!
Well done, Nursery!

The week before the end of term was another good week for attendance.
We had many children with 100% attendance. Well done, keep up the hard work!
