Prittlewell had a visit from Peter Swanwick, a road safety officer who delivered a presentation about pedestrian road safety and how to spot hazards. Afterwards in small groups students had the chance to use a Speed Radar Gun to check the speeds of the cars outside of school.
Our new time for Let's Get Active, our weekly whole-school physical movement session, is Thursday mornings. This week Tyler, Deji and Mason did a great job of leading the exercises.
Now that our hall is out of use due to building work we are having our assemblies next door at the Chase School.
Students coped really well with this change and liked using this new space.
Well done to the students who took part in the panathlon event today. Great sportsmanship and medals were won!
We had a lovely assembly about Christmas Wishes.
On November 13 students went to the Palace Theatre to see the muscal Young Frankenstein. The music was excellent and there were some very funny jokes.
Participating as an audience member is part of their work on the Arts Award
Students have been selling bracelets in school in memory of Darren F, a learning support assistant who worked at the school for many years and who died in September. Orange was Darren's favourite colour and money raised by the bracelets was donated to the Lancaster Lions Football Club.
Thank you to everyone who donated to Darren's bracelets. Together, we raised £152.30 which was counted by students in Southend Class this morning.
Lancaster School got 1st place in the Essex Special Schools Gala. The team were exceptional and were fantastic ambassadors of the school.
On Friday students went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the Palace Theatre.
Southend Class had a great time on Friday at Southend Odeon watching the film Transformers One.
The group walked to the cinema and enjoyed sharing a film with their friends - a skill they could transfer to the evenings and weekends when they feel confident enough to do this.
On Friday we had a visit from Dan Hotten who talked to us about HARP - the local charity in Southend that helps the homeless. Students and staff brought in food to support the homeless. Thank you to everyone for your donations.
Well done to Amy for winning the kindness cup this week. She has been supporting her classmate Brenda to work with her on running the school beauty club that runs on Tuesday lunchtimes. Well Done Amy.
