Activity at Home: Autumn Tree!
Looking for a simple, creative activity to enjoy together this half-term?
Create your own autumn tree using colourful paper and glue. Tear or choose leaf shapes, explore autumn colours and stick them onto a tree outline to make a beautiful seasonal collage.
Adapt the activity to suit your child’s interests and needs, whether they enjoy exploring textures, choosing colours, practising fine motor skills or simply spending time creating together.
Keep it simple, take breaks when needed and enjoy the little moments along the way. We’d love to see your autumn creations!

World Mental Health Day
Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that mental health matters for everyone — including every child and young person in our school community.
At Pond Meadow, wellbeing is part of learning. As a specialist school, we know that feeling safe, understood and supported helps our pupils build confidence, communication, independence and readiness to learn.
Through caring relationships, structured routines, communication support and opportunities to celebrate progress, we help our learners feel seen, heard and valued every day.
As a school, we also marked World Homeless day, to raise more awareness. For more information go to @worldhomelessday .
