Summer 1 16AR
This term as part of their ‘Next Steps’ course 16AR, with Holly and Issy from 11SA, have been developing their work skills. The group has split into two each week. One group has cleaned and tidied the library while the other group has honed their office skills. The students have worked on their own and in pairs to laminate, shred and sharpen pencils. As the term has progressed the students have become more confident and have worked independently to complete tasks.

This half term 16AR are cooking and making their own lunches in the café each week. They are doing this in addition to making break time snacks for other students in the school and preparing staff lunches. The class decided what they would like to eat each week. Every Monday they make the main course and the pudding and all eat together in the café. It has proved a great success with everyone working together as a team.

Summer 1 Horticulture
The students in 16 AR have been very busy growing Herbs and potatoes.
We’ve enjoyed exploring all of the materials and tools needed to grow our produce. When the weather has allowed it we’ve taken the opportunity to spend time outside, to complete tasks.
Tasks have included sifting soil, planting seeds, watering the herbs and potatoes and making our own labels.
Our herbs were grown in up cycled drink bottles and our potatoes are currently growing in buckets that will allow the students to pick them from the sides of the bucket, when grown.
All students have taken a lot of satisfaction from being involved, and were very motivated to help with all tasks.
If our potatoes are successful we’re hoping to make potato salad in our independent living skills class, ready to sell at the tuck shop! Watch this space…………….
