Here at Pond Meadow, the Surrey County Council Speech and Language Therapy Team support students in class to develop their functional communication skills. Requesting is important but can the student…
*give opinions?
*protest or reject?
*make a variety of comments?
*say they want more or have finished?
*ask for help?
*ask questions?
*use repair strategies?
The SaLT team works closely with our teaching team to embed communication strategies within our school environment. We want to give our learners the tools to be the most effective communicators they can be!

PANTO SEASON
We were so lucky to attend the amazing panto, Beauty and the Beast, at the @yvonnearnaud . The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
And, for all the students that were unable to access the theatre, the panto came to Pond Meadow, thanks to @h2htheatre (Head 2 Head Sensory Theatre) and their performance of Rumpelstiltskin.

Chocolate chip cookies
Baking is a wonderful way for students to build confidence, learn a valuable skill and to find joy in the kitchen.
In order to make the recipe easy to follow for students, we provide them with a simple to read recipe, that includes symbols to help them understand each step. Swipe to see an example of the type of recipes the students use.
This chocolate chip cookie recipe was a big hit. Why not give them a try at home? They will make delicious homemade holiday gifts too!
Save to keep the recipe for later.

It’s never too early to put up some Christmas decorations – so, we decked the halls this week! Our students enjoyed the Christmas cheer in our foyer.
Have you started decorating yet?

BUILDING UPDATES
We are excited to share that the building has reached a big milestone – the ground floor concrete slab has now been poured. They are now above ground with the build! The steel frame structure has also started.
The construction company @beard.construct also plans to encourage student involvement with the new building project. They hope to invite small groups at different stages of the project for supervised visits, with the staff.
