Three pupils from the Lower School enjoyed a trip to the woods to have a go a Bushcraft Cooking.  They toasted marshmallows and grilled Staffordshire Oatcakes.

Throughout this term pupils have been learning about Space.  As a reward for their positive behaviour pupils enjoyed a trip to The National Space Centre in Leicester.  They got to view six galleries and the UK's largest planetarium, plus the iconic 42m Rocker Tower  Great fun was had by all.

Pupils and staff at the Lower School enjoyed celebrating together for Children in Need 2018.  Great fun was had by all during a Pudsey Bear Treasure Hunt, The National Duck Race, baking Pudsey cakes, Bingo and lots more.  Some of our older pupils also took part in a swimming event whereby they were required to swim in their PJ's!

On Wednesday 10th October, all of the pupils and staff talked about mental health to raise awareness on the subject. The pupils watched some videos on mental health and ways we can support positive mental health, including exercise, a healthy diet and doing things we enjoy. The children and staff all designed and stenciled their own tile, the finished tiles will all be put onto a mural. Phil Hardaker did an amazing job of helping the pupils to create their masterpieces! The children also created their own icing emoji faces to go onto a cake, took part in physical games and some even found out the German words for some emotions! There was also a guess the amount of sweets in the jar and a 'mental health' bingo game, with lots of lucky winners!

A few of the pupils of Lower Roaches School attended Macmillan coffee morning at Blackshaw Moor Primary School. Elliot and Alfie enjoyed a cuppa and a slice of cake. A donation was made on behalf of the school and a lovely time was had by all.
