What might it be like for a visitor with dementia in our school?

Worship Council have been experiencing the difficulties people with dementia might have, when visiting our school.

Reverend Dave made adaptations to the children’s sight, hearing and physical movements. We walked through the school, completing tasks that visitors would need to do. We talked about how the difficulties affected the way we did things and how we felt when doing it. This helped us think about the adaptations we could make to the school, to make it easier and comfortable for visitors.

Arthog Day 2 Part 3 – Even Wetter!

This afternoon, Miss Merrick’s group braved the slippery boulders and icy waters of Arthog’s fun-filled gorge walk.  The children pushed themselves up through tumbling torrents to reach their final destination – the questionable warmth and shelter of a fragrant minibus.  Despite the cold, there were huge smiles on every face.

Second Day at Arthog Part 2 – Boats!

Miss Merrick’s group launched themselves into nautical action today, losing paddles and scaring waterfowl!  Canoes were driven at speed in interesting directions.  Children learned new skills and challenged themselves, having loads of fun in the process.
