Rebound Therapy

25th June 2022Lee Wilkinson

Huge congratulations to our new Rebound Therapy team. Everyone passed the 2 day course this week, meaning we have an opportunity to roll out this great therapy to even more of our Dales children. Our team will create bespoke pupil profiles, engage children in sensory regulation and enjoy intensive interaction sessions amongst a lot of fun.

Well done our bouncing buddies. We look forward to regular online updates to see our new, improved school Therapy offer.

B12 How Much Sugar?

10th June 2022Neil Simpson

This week in B12 we have been looking at our favourite healthy meals!! We’ve made the meals out of clay and salt dough and we’re going to paint them when they’re dry. We’ve also looked at how much sugar is in our favourite snacks and drinks.

B10 Blog

10th June 2022Neil Simpson

This week in Beech class, we learned all about famous inventors from history. We learned about Leonardo da Vinci and the many inventions he was able to design. We also researched about some of the inventors who aided in the discovery of electricity and the creation of the light bulb, such as Thomas Edison and local inventor Joseph Swan. Did you know the first house in the world to be lit by a light bulb was Swan’s house in Gateshead?

B14 Strike a Pose!

10th June 2022Neil Simpson

This week B14 have been learning all about the famous photographer Edward Weston and his amazing photographic art. The children have been all round school taking inspirational photographs from what they see and eat (healthy snacks), so the adults around them can see how they view the world. They have taken some fantastic shots and we can’t wait to put them together in their portfolio. But here is a sneaky peek!

Erasmus Blog

23rd May 2022Neil Simpson

The Erasmus team at the Dales school welcomed our partners from Italy, France, Belgium and Spain last week.

The Team spent their first day looking around both sites and exploring our new train in our yard. In the afternoon the partners went on visits around the local area. They visited Alnwick and went to the castle and learnt to fly on their Harry Potter broomsticks. This was a huge success and the partners couldn’t believe they learned to fly, as they thought this to be impossible. On another visit, they went to Beamish, and again they were blown away with the museum and all it had to offer. After all the fun it was time for business and the partners linked up with different classes around the school to see what we offer. They were so taken aback by all the work we do for our children that they stated it was a life changing way of looking at education. The project is a Maths based topic but The Dales School take a different look at maths and try to incorporate it into all aspects of the curriculum.

Famous People In The World Of Religion

20th May 2022Lee Wilkinson

This week in B10, we learned about famous people in the world of religion. We asked ourselves ‘what really is a religion?’ and compared and contrasted the world’s main religions.

We also took time to discuss the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, looking closer at her role and duties as monarch of the United Kingdom. We researched about how different the world has become during her long reign. We also baked some cheese scones and chocolate brownies to enjoy as a treat.
