Halloween Party - 20 October 2011
We celebrated Halloween by hosting a Spooky Halloween Party! All the staff and students dressed in costume for the occasion. Students from a local mainstream primary school joined in the scary celebrations to support our inclusion policy. We had a cooking session with the Occupational and Speech and Language Therapist, and made ‘creepy critters’ using cookie cutters and different vegetables and dips to create them! We also danced the ‘Skeleton Dance’ that we have been practising with the Physiotherapist. The finale was a visit from Animal Magic who brought in snakes, spiders, owls and many more creatures for us to hold and touch.

The children enjoy watching the chicks grow and playing with them. We invited our friends from other schools to play with the chicks with us. Although after three weeks the chicks can either be kept or returned, this time one of our parents kept them all.
