The students had lots of fun this term learning about listening to the stories Sharing a shell and The Snail and the Whale. We learnt about different sea creatures, the ocean and rock pools and made some sea creature art and biscuits. During Active Week we got to try out different activities like yoga, basketball and dancing. Tug of War was one of our favourites! We have been busy swimming and going to the beach for Liquid Therapy sessions and had great fun in the waves. We had some lovely sunny days so we made sure to go for a walk and spot the summer flowers in Munday's field and have some outdoor play with water and bubbles. Everyone enjoyed going on their school tours this year, especially going down the slides!

Welcome to the Rock Hub 2​

The students have being going to the hall every morning to complete different exercises to develop their gross motor skills. We love using the hand and foot twister carts, having races and using the scooter board.
