The School Council had a meeting with the Local Authority regarding the infrastructure surrounding the school. Attached are the results so far, watch this space!
In our ‘Learning Means The World’ theme ‘Come Fly With Me: Arctic’ we have been researching animals that live there and how they survive. We have looked at the Inuit people and have created a collage of their clothing using the correct materials that have the qualities that that piece of clothing needs eg waterproof. We also created a ‘Slider’ which was a moving picture and we made this by completing a design and technology task. I’m sure you’ll agree that our work is brrrrilliant!
This week we have been looking at the various animals and people that live in the Arctic. We have looked at the Inuit people and their customs regarding their food and clothing. We have used our design and technology skills to create a split pin Arctic Wolf and our art skills to create a collage of an Inuit’s coat. We looked at the materials and their properties to see which material would be best in the harsh cold weather of the Arctic.
Dear Community,
Preparations for Christmas are likely to be well underway in most households, with only 38 more sleeps to go until the big day. Christmas can be a very stressful time for children, young people and adults with Autism so I would just like to draw your attention to the National Autistic Society’s website which has lots of useful information and strategies which may help us to cope better during the busy festive period.
I really do hope that you find the links helpful. Just click on the link below for more information.
Take good care.

Unfortunately School Council could not attend the Armistice service in Monkton Village as it was on Saturday this year. Hebburn Lakes has still placed a wreath at the memorial. We will remember them ❤️
