Up, Up and Away!

Kara and Coral have been learning about the travel industry and writing holiday brochures. They enjoyed asking a local pilot about his job and the destinations he travels too. Coral has expressed an interest to become a pilot when she gets older.

One of our brilliant year 10 outreach teenagers created this graffiti art work inspired poster for us. We love it and especially love the positive message he has incorporated into the design.

Ahoy me hearties! Sky in reception, really loved getting all aboard for a pirate themed adventure during her stay on the Caroline Thorpe Ward. She loved the learning activities we engaged her with, playing games, listening to stories, playing "I spy with my pirate eye" as a lively phonics game, exploring numbers and counting with pirate gold. Decorating a treasure chest to stash her hand made bead necklace and creating a feathered friend!
