Henslow School Pantomine
The Annual School Christmas Performance was held on the last Wednesday of term with our Arts Award and Projects students combining for a morning of songs and bad jokes. The music room is transformed into a mystical forest and only Mr Cattley knew what would be taking place! This year’s DOUBLE panto entitled ‘ The Two Bad Wolves ’, is the tale of two very hungry animals. Each wolf goes up against a different challenge: One the fearsome ‘Red Riding Hood’ and two of the cunning ‘Three Little Pigs’.

Review and Project Days
Mid way through the academic year each student has a review with their teaching staff and support agencies, who contribute to the feedback event for parents and carers. When they were not in their review, students were challenged to try out new activities such as Taiko Drumming and Bushcraft. The Bushcraft session took place at Nesscliffe enabling students to build emergency shelters and light fires, then cook marshmallows. The drumming was a brilliant way to release any excess energy.
