We walked around the lake, it was very pretty. We had tea in a big marquee. We both had posh outfits. Lucy and Leah
BLUEBELL WALK AT GATTON BOTTOM I enjoyed walking around the woods and reading and following the instructions. I liked seeing the bluebells. Ryan I liked the walk. The bluebells were really pretty and trying to find the way. We had a map and Instructions. Holly I was guiding my group by using my map skills. The walk was long and hard but eventually we made it to the bluebell woods. The bluebells dazzled in the sunlight. Toby We went for a walk in the bluebell woods and we had to try and follow the instructions. It was quite hard but we got There. Harry This was an exercise in following directional instruction in a real setting. It was also very beautiful. Map, instructions and landmarks were followed.
RESIDENTIAL
I went rock climbing and in the tunnel. It was scary in the tunnel and I nearly got stuck. But I enjoyed it a lot. Lucy I liked the day we went to Brighton, It was sunny and we had chips and ice cream on the beach. Olivia
I went to Dish in Reigate , the ceramics studio. I decorated an olive dish. I had never done this before and it was really cool. Ashleigh I had a good time doing my heart pot . I did a really good picture on it. I did a good colour. Sam I went indoor rock climbing and in the tunnel and I had never done it before. It was exciting and good fun. Tom
RESIDENTIAL
I liked the house we stayed in. All the girls shared a dorm. There was a games room upstairs as well. Leah I enjoyed staying over at the Old Pheasantry and going out with all my friends. Jessica I enjoyed sleeping over. It was fun doing the biscuit challenge. Oliver We went to the Pheasantry. I went and played crazy golf. It was a hot day. I loved going swimming and going top pizza express for lunch. Kaela I liked seeing the sharks and the fish at the Sealife centre in Brighton. I saw the sharks swim over my head when we went in the tunnel. I liked the food at Jimmys, where we went for lunch. Tom I enjoyed the crazy golf and going to Jimmys. Sealife was absolutely amazing, I went up a few steps and a turtle swam in front of me and I saw a shark moving really fast. I had fun joining in the activites at the Old Pheasantry, like bubbles through the hoop and moving the cans. Simon
SUMMER COOKING (AND MORE)
We make cakes and our lunch. I enjoyed the vegetable curry but my favourite is making cakes. I am doing it on my own now but I was very nervous when I first started. I feel independent. Lucy I have learnt a lot in cooking, like health and safety, weighing and preparing vegetables. I like decorating cakes. Leah I really enjoy cooking. I like making different cakes and I enjoy learning about it. I think I am getting a bit more confident. Jessica I think I could be more confident and independent., I am working on it. I like following a recipe and baking. Ryan I enjoy making the food sometimes. I like making cakes. My favourite is chocolate cake. Oliver Cooking is good fun because you get to eat it after. I had never made vegetable curry before and I liked it! Olivia I like cooking because you can take home the cakes. I enjoyed making the puff pastry flans. Holly Lunches we have made include: pasta salad with roasted veg, homemade sausage rolls and coleslaw, puff pastry savoury flans, home made bread rolls and ploughmans, cheese and potato pie, tortilla, fajhitas, stir fry. The emphasis is on healthy eating and dishes that enable students to use a lot of skills that encourage independence. Baking has included shortbread, coffee and walnut cake, lemon drizzle cake, cookies, banana bread, meringues. We hope you have enjoyed everything that has come home. Diane Calder
TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
It is always hard to quantify the changes we see in our students, but without exception they are definitely young adults when they leave. We are always sad to see them go but pleased as well, that they are so much better equipped to deal with the new challenges ahead. We are delighted that every one of them successfully completed accredited units covering Lifeskills and in some cases, Entry Level Maths and English. We hope to hear from all of them to let us know how they get on.

Dear Families Another successful year that once again has seen all our students achieve and some fantastic progress made. We are having to make some changes to our Functional Skills accreditation due to the decision by the awarding bodies to withdraw stand alone units. We have used these for several years and are extremely disappointed at the decision made. I will keep you informed and will outline our plans in September. I am currently awaiting for some response from OFQUAL, (The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation ). We look forward to welcoming our new students Tahmina, Grace, Maria, Nicola, Zack, Callum, Nathan, David, Ellie and Gracie.
In the meantime we do hope you all enjoy a well deserved break and a warm, if not sunny, summer. Diane Calder Centre Manager
