Bluebell class had a boat-iful day aboard the Johanna Lucrecia! ⛵️They had lots of fun learning new skills in the sunshine, such as laying down the ropes, moving the buoys and steering the ship! A huge thank you to The Island Trust for a wonderful day!

Good luck to all of our young people taking part in a south west school’s football tournament !
The sun’s shining and we’re topped up with water

As we are moving into the warmer weather season (at last!) please could you ensure your child has the appropriate sun protection applied before school and send them in with extra so they can apply during the day. A bottle of water would be beneficial too - we are happy to refill during the day 🙂
Thank you - long may the sun shine !

Well done all involved ! Thank you Plymouth Argyle Community Trust for the opportunities you offer our young people!

Every day is a learning day, not just for the students - Prospect staff enjoyed some early morning training last week :)

Tutor group 7MG have been working with one of their tutors, to create knitted toys of themselves.
Designs were made, great conversations were had about feelings and understanding expression and the toys were subsequently created - here are the results (can you tell which one is the tutor?😂)

We think they are FABULOUS ! Well done 7MG

Team work at Seymour, our gardening shed is nearly up.

Cuteness ! Our young people love being part of the journey of our new arrivals at The Granary Farm School - Mount Tamar.

We are very excited to welcome two new members to our Granary Farm School !
Hope you sleep well Vinny and Bruno.
Thanks to Elliot and Lenny for helping to settle them in today!

Orchid class had lots of fun foraging for the materials to make these beautiful, natural Easter eggs during art last week!! Eggs-cellent work!! 👏🏻

An email has been sent to all parents today regarding school leadership after the Easter break

What a morning the pupils had at Courtlands School today !
They took the opportunity to take the helm at the Bakers shop and the Pet shop, whilst under the watchful eye of the Police. Luckily, all was quiet in the Fire and Rescue department !

Thank you to Pop up Play Village - Plymouth for your support with this !

Seymour is never as quiet as when bingo is in full swing. It’s great to see students working together and happy for each other when they win.
