Pupils and staff from the Lower School, Evergreen School and Parkgate School joined together to enjoy a performance of Aladdin with glittering stage sets, colourful dance routines and unforgettable comedy moments, at the  fabulous Buxton Opera House.  

On Tuesday, students and staff at the lower school went for a school trip at Blue Planet Aquarium in Ellesmere Port. We chose to go here as our Autumn topic is 'The Deep Blue Sea.' The students enjoyed seeing and learning about all different types of sea creatures including Starfish, Seahorses, Tortoises and Sharks (especially Betty the Shark!)

As part of our morning Nurture session, we attempted a 'Chain Challenge.' Students and staff had to all hold hands and walk from the bottom of the Roach End Farm drive to Bearstone Rock without breaking the chain. When students and staff arrived at Bearstone Rock, the person at the start of the chain had to touch the nose of the Bearstone Rock and spread the chain out. The person at the end of the chain had to look for 'the prize.' Luckily, the prize was found and the students enjoyed chewing on a Wham bar.

The pupils at the Lower School decided they wanted to give something back and chose to raise money for a little girl who was diagnosed with SMA before the age of one.  This illness has an extremely low survival rate with almost 100% of those diagnosed dying before reaching their 2nd birthday.  Hune is now almost 5 years old.  Her family are raising money to buy power assisted wheels to go with her wheelchair to help her move around easier.  The children at the Lower School organised a Halloween themed cafe where we invited friends, family and carers to join us with cake, coffee and a raffle.  We are really pleased to share that we have raised £710 to donate to this family 

Pupils welcomed our Reading Pals to the Lower School.  We are looking forward to sharing our reading books with them. 

Pupils are enjoying the Lego Therapy Club, taking on the different roles as Engineer, Builder/supplier and Inspector.
