Yesterday was PMLD Awareness Day. This special day aims to raise awareness for those with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities, like those in our Primrose class. As a school we celebrate the uniqueness of our students and promote inclusion.
We all wore bright and colourful clothes to celebrate our amazing students. Each class made something sensory (tactile, audible, smelly or highly visual) for Primrose class to enjoy.

What is AAC?
At Pond Meadow we use Augmentative and Alternative Communication alongside spoken language. A combination of methods is used to reinforce and strengthen meaning.
We value and promote all equally, working with closely with teaching teams to develop students very own ‘communication toolkits’. Each student’s communication toolkit will look slightly different – unique to them!

Goodbye chicks and ducks!
Our students thoroughly enjoyed their time with the fluffy little chicks and ducks, learning all about life cycles.
Some students were very excited to hold the chicks and ducklings. It was such a wonderful experience.
Thanks again Incredible Eggs, for providing us with ethical, high-welfare hatching kits. Our little friends head back to the farm today.

Our Post 16 students had a fantastic time at the Choices and Decisions Careers Day last Friday. Some visited Guildford College, while others attended Merrist Wood’s Woodlands Centre. Throughout the day, students took part in a wide range of engaging workshops designed to build their career experiences, including jewellery making, sports, animal encounters, windchime making, dancing, singing, art, and cupcake decorating. It was a fun and rewarding day for everyone involved.

They’ve HATCHED!
We are thrilled that our lovely eggs have hatched. We now have 6 little chickens and 3 ducklings.
Our students are excited to watch them grow, and learn about the life cycle. Now they are out of their incubator, pupils are able to hold our fluffy little friends.
These kinds of hands-on experiences are so great for our students!
