As part of Creative Arts we are preparing displays for World book Day next week. Students are painting pictures from Alice in Wonderland to put up around school for our younger PCA students to enjoy. 

5J have been on a mission to join the library.

They have all filled in their own forms, handed them to the librarian then explored the library to find a book.

Once they chose their books they checked them out before bringing them back to the Oracle to read during the week.

In preparation for their BTEC assessment in cooking, Casey & Thomas are practicing their chosen meals. 

In photography 5J have been looking at photographers that work in the band industry that produce album covers. 
Ryan has found 3 different people & will now research them to find out what albums they have done. 

Lemon Dance Studios came to the Oracle to brighten up our Monday afternoon with a dance lesson.

SHINE therapy visit sixth form each week to work with students on their mindfulness, resilience & worries. We’ve played a number of games which included, blowing bubbles & troubles away & cup pong, where we read a mindful quote out. 

5B have been out in the community. Our aim today was to find out what the local gym to the Oracle offered. We were lucky enough to be given a tour, view some of the activities on offer & take leaflets home. 

Two of our students showed true resilience this morning when building this tower. No matter how many times it fell down they continued until they met their goal. 

A new cohort of students have begun their dog therapy training today. Molly was asked to do a range of tricks which included, sitting, paw, follow, lay down & wait. 

To celebrate & raise money for Elmer day 5B have been busy making cakes. They have followed written instructions, weighed out their ingredients, made a range of different cakes, iced them, and washed, dried & put away all the equipment used! 
They look yummy. 

As part of our qualification in photography 5B have started to use small world toys to create different scenes. A series of 6 photographs were taken, with characters in different positions to tell a story. 

We have used a whole range of skills today at college. We have learnt how to throw over arm & under arm, how to throw over a large distance, listening to instructions when already in an activity & how to work as a team.
