Due to COVID restrictions, our offsite activities to swimming and trampolining have not been able to continue. These have been replaced with “Movement Hour” which all of the pupils participate in. This week, the pupils have been doing a mixture of yoga, dance, balancing skills and ball skills. They have also been taught the theory behind what it means to look after yourself.

We also welcome a new pupil to the school this term.

Children in Need 2020
Today, we have been raising money for Children in Need. The pupils and staff have come in their own clothes (or some in fancy dress!) for a £1 donation. They have completed some Pudsey Bear maths activities, watched a story about fundraising and have participated in a danceathon and yoga! We have raised £40 so far!
Lessons at Quest.
We offer our pupils a full and wide ranging educational experience, whilst maintaining a clear focus on skills that are essential for their personal development and well being, such as communication, behaviour and independence skills (including fine and gross motor skills).
We have a distinctive teaching methodology, based on fundamental principles of behaviour science, and a curriculum specifically designed for our pupils’individual needs. They also work in small groups to practise social and communication skills together.
Brazil Theme day.
Today is Brazil Theme day at Quest. The pupils are learning all about Brazil through various activities. They have made masks, head pieces and musical instruments for their carnival. At the carnival, they dressed up and danced to Brazilian music. The pupils have also practised their football skills, found some animals hiding around the school using the binoculars they made and have had their photos taken in a photo booth.
We hope everyone has a lovely half term break!
