  On Tuesday 12th December KS5, in an array of Christmas themed jumpers,  went to the Lodekka pub in Brislington to have their Christmas lunch.  Post 16 have been very busy this term making a range of gorgeous Christmas gifts for learners and parents to buy.  The money they raised went towards their Christmas drinks at the Lodekka.  Everyone had a lovely time at the meal and enjoyed laughing at the jokes in the Christmas crackers!

• Bath Bomb Session- Bristol Community Learning

  Wed 29 Nov 2017
  It was the last of our adult only Festive Craft sessions with Bristol Community Learning this week.  Just in time for the festive season, we learnt how to make bath bombs, you could even add glitter, stars or rose petals for something a bit more glitzy!!! The session was great fun and something you could have a go at in the comfort of your own home. Thank you to everyone who joined in and for those of you unable to make it below are some photographs from the morning.

  

• Supporting Transition

  Tue 28 Nov 2017
  We understand that transition to a new setting can be both daunting yet exciting.  We welcomed parents and carers from Illminster Avenue Specialist Nursery to a coffee morning at New Fosseway where they had chance to meet SLT and the Family Link/Transition team as well as have a tour of the whole campus.  The morning was really successful and gave our visitors opportunity to ask questions and see for themselves day to day life at the school.

  

• Needle Felting- Parent/Carer Craft Session

  Wed 22 Nov 2017

  On Wednesday 22nd November we held our first adult only festive craft session with Sarah from Bristol Community Learning.  We had fun learning the skill of needle felting; a new craft for all our parents and carers who attended!  By the end of the session finished pieces included a Christmas pudding, baubles and heart decorations.  Next week Sarah will return for our final festive craft session where she will lead upon how to make bath bombs.  If you haven't booked on yet and would like to, please contact Jo P or Lorraine.
