A new group of Oracle dog trainer have started training with Molly our therapy dog. Molly was quick to follow commands from students & receive her treat. 

Due to the weather we had to call our football skills training off, so we changed plans & went into the gym. We wrote our own gym training programme using a variety of cardiovascular & resistance machines. This included a 5-10 minute warm up & a cool down session. 

We have been out on the B&FC campus refining our walkie talkie skills. 

Lemon dance company Mondays are our favourite way to start the week. 

We went for a walk in our Oracle local community today. We headed to our local park to help with clearing & cleaning the community hut. 

Well done to the Oracle dog training group, who have undertaken 6 weeks of training from Natasha & Georgina from KRRs Dog training company. They are all able to command Mollys attention & for her to follow clear instructions. 

Our students made some tasty treats in cooking club. We started with ham & cheese omelettes, we then followed instructions to make our favourite flavoured toasties, & then decorated our sponge cakes. 

During sports we warmed up with agility exercises. These movements will help us use our full bodies when playing football. 

We have been out on the B&FC campus this morning using walkie-talkies. We spilt into two groups, & used the phonetic alphabet to describe number plates of cars parked, we included the colour & make. 

Project Search came into the Oracle to speak with Sixth form & Year 11 students on employability. It was lovely to see two of PCAs ex students present the offering to us & hear of their own experiences. Project Search helped them both find a job they love. 

All Oracle students are encouraged to read for pleasure at home & whilst at Sixth Form. All classes visit our local library every 2 weeks to exchange books & select a book of their choosing.
