  Mon 21 May 2018 Mrs Cox-Wall

  Making the most of the fabulous weather, we did our long awaited "race for life" with all staff and pupils completing 1k and donating sponsorship for this important cause. We raised over £50, thanks to everyone, though no one took any pictures! Thanks Mrs Davies and Mr Karby

  To celebrate the much anticipated Royal Wedding we had a street party in the Courtyard with lots of treats and the actual Meghan and Harry elderflower and lemon wedding cake! Thanks to Mrs Bowen, Ms Cleary and everyone who helped with a delicious spread and finished our lovely afternoon off!

  Some Royal guests also called in but we didn't alert the paparazzi on this occasion

  

• Show Racism the Red Card

  Fri 04 May 2018 Mrs Cox-Wall

  Its been a busy week for KS3 BESD pupils, Kris and Kate from the Show Racism the Red Card charity worked with us for an afternoon on the important issue of racism.

  Through a series of interactive workshops and reflection exercises, the pupils were taken through what racism is, what it can be based on and how to challenge themselves and it.

  The charity uses football clubs and players to make the message real to children and to break down the percieved barriers around difference.

• Sony Environmental Centre

  Fri 04 May 2018 Msr Cox-Wall

  KS3 BESD pupils have had an exciting opportunity this term to experience outdoor learning with staff at the Sony Education Centre, Pencoed.

  The Environmental Centre’s main aim is to support schools in delivering ‘Learning outside the Classroom’, through providing pupils with a really good balance of active learning and practical experience of the natural environment and building on previous knowledge" Ian Prescott, Environmental, Health & Safety Manager, Sony UK TEC

   

  The Sony UK Technology Environmental Centre is a fantastic facility designed to provide an excellent resource for the benefit of the wider community.  The environmental centre opened in 2003 and was constructed from indigenous timber from renewable sources by a team of people from the Day Services Centre for adults with learning difficulties. Used by local schools for environmental field trips, this fantastic facility encompasses a environmental lodge and nature trail for exploration.

  The Centre accommodates on average 25 Primary Schools a year and over 10,000 children since 2003. Accompanied by teachers and assistants from the school each child is given a Science at Sony Environmental workbook to complete.
