Paralympics

Did you know that while the Olympics are over....the Paralympics are on....check out our athletes! We had our Basketball Special Olympics for our students cancelled due to our current lock down here; it is always something we really look forward to attending. However, onwards and upwards and we are looking forward to the next event!

Time for reflection

 This post is as one of the teachers who work with students....not just special needs, although it is probably especially important in many of these cases. I just came across this in my own time.... It rather made me think...so I am sharing....

One thing I have learnt in years of teaching is that we often forget to check in with the 'quiet' students. We can sometimes assume that in our busy days if they aren't making noise, if they are 'cruising along nicely' then they are ok, maybe they are :) 

But sometimes we need to look a little deeper to remember that not everyone expresses themselves outwardly, adults and children alike. :)
