Medieval Times

1st April 2022Lee Wilkinson

In outdoor learning this week, we have been looking at how people used to live in the medi evil times. We looked at mud villages and also tried on a knights helmet. We also made a knights favourite drink, made from honey and water, a delicious treat back in the day.

Pupil Voice Committee

28th March 2022Lee Wilkinson
Some of our amazing students at The Dales School have been elected to make up our very special Pupil Voice committee; and we wanted to keep you at home updated with the wonderful things that we are working on.
The Pupil Voice group meets weekly to talk about school plans that are ongoing and exciting ideas for the future. So far, the students have decided that they would like to;
  • raise money for a number of worthy charities
  • organise some school-wide arts and crafts activities where all of our students will have the opportunity to work alongside each other
  • consider the appointment of a therapy dog in school
  • roll out the use of Makaton signing through school by way of creating a truly inclusive environment for all of our pupils
These are just some of the incredible ideas that the Pupil Voice students have come up with so far.
When we meet next, we will be getting busy in the kitchen cooking up some Easter treats to sell to our teaching staff in order to begin fundraising for one of our chosen charities- we’ll keep you posted!

Borrow a Book

25th March 2022Lee Wilkinson
We have created an area next to the entrance at Blythdale for children to borrow and return books to encourage reading at home and at school.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated books to school. We have replenished class reading areas and set up our own ‘Borrow a Book’ at Blythdale.
Clare and Anna from Team 1, Blythdale are super excited about our “reading for pleasure” promotion in school.

Train Update 16/02/2022

We had some special guests in school. Noel Forte and his team from Henkel came to demonstrate how to apply the weatherproofing product to the train. Henkel have kindly donated £50,000 of Weatherproofing products for the train project. This means there will be no water damage to the train. Thank you to John McCafferty, Mark Patterson, Barry Lewis.
