Hoppy Easter at Pond Meadow! Our students got into the Easter spirit today with a variety of Easter activities. These included egg hunts, Easter craft activities, Easter themed #AttentionAutism sessions and making lots of yummy Easter treats. #PondMeadow #easter #specialschool #equipforlife #specialneeds #specialchildren #send #sendteacher #specialeducation #pecsuk #specialeducationuk #earlylearning #sensoryplay #sensorylearning #playislearning

World Autism Day Today celebrates all those with autism and the people that support them. The theme for this year is 'My Positive Autistic Identity', focussing on positive qualities of autism, helping those with autism to embrace their identity and be proud of who they are – just as proud as we are of them! To celebrate, we are holding an art competition following this year’s theme (swipe to see). Pupils and staff were also encouraged to wear blue and bring in a £1 donation to raise money for the National Autistic Society.

Eid Mubarak! The Islamic calendar month works on the cycle of the moon. This means that important religious dates can change by 11 days a year. Eid-Al-Fitr means the ‘festival of breaking the fast’ and signifies the end of Ramadan – a time of celebration with loved ones. For all our Pond Meadow community celebrating, we wish you a happy and peaceful Eid. #Eid #community #PondMeadow #specialschool #equipforlife #specialneeds

Transitions day It’s that time of year again where we help equip our students for change. Yesterday was Transitions day, designed to make transitioning into adulthood smoother for our secondary students and their families as they consider post-19 placements. Local education, social care and vocational settings held stalls to share information about their provision. #PondMeadow #specialschool #equipforlife #specialneeds #specialchildren #send #sendteacher #specialeducation #pecsuk #specialeducationuk #autismawareness #teachersofinstagram #ukteacher

Today, we celebrated Mother’s Day at Pond Meadow… thanking all the maternal figures in our lives for everything they do for us! Wishing you all a Happy Mother’s Day this weekend – using Makaton signs. The @Makaton programme is part of our total communication approach. We use the signs, symbols and speech to encourage communication at Pond Meadow. #makaton #mothersday #PondMeadow #specialschool #equipforlife #specialneeds #specialchildren #send #sendteacher #specialeducation #pecsuk #specialeducationuk #communicationskills #makaton #speechandlanguage #autism #community
