5I have been for their scheduled workout. Today they have been working on endurance. 

Mr S gave 5B a short history lesson in music through the times. 5B were quite knowledgeable about the artists & the songs they sung. 

Students have been working on short commands for our therapy dog Molly. Today Molly has listened to and followed the commands dance, wait (with a treat in front of her), follow, fist bump, lay down & sit. 

Our Sixth form students have been making Mcaroni cheese today with staff from the Blackpool Catering service. 

They made their cheese sauce from scratch, adding extra vegetables and a crispy cauliflower topping. 

It all looked and smelt delicious, well done! 

Students bathed Spyro the bearded dragon and learned about looking after a bearded dragon.

They also leaned an interesting fact about why bearded dragons are so named, when stressed they enlarge their throat and the skin turns black looking more beard-like.

We celebrate 100% attendance weekly at the Oracle. This week the students enjoyed an ice cream during break time. 

Sixth form students were lucky enough to watch a live webchat from a games designer as part of STEM & DT. 

We have continued with learning skills around cricket. We have been practicing under arm & over arm throwing, batting the ball & how to score points. 

Then we made overnight oats as a tasty treat for all the Oracle students to enjoy for breakfast tomorrow morning. 

We made two tasty treats today in club. Our first was chicken wraps. Students made them independently with staff advising them on the next steps. 

Our students learnt about the importance of stretching before & after exercise today. 

In functional English we are working on communication, especially giving & following instructions. Communication is an important skill when working with others, students learn how to collaborate, talk, listen, and empathise with each other, as well as work as a team.
