Tourettes Hero visit
The young people at Collingham Gardens got creative during a visit from the organisation Tourettes Hero. They 'teleported' to space via a bubble maker, and spent the morning designing their own planet. They thought about what it would look like, who would live there, and how people would travel. The planet was represented by a paper lightshade and decorated with ribbons, pictures, pens, pipe cleaners, and feathers. The young people's work will be displayed at the Tate Modern in March, during the I Am festival 2026.

Micro Bit plays Rock-Paper-Scissors
In their Computing lesson at St Mary's our eight year old student programmed the Micro Bit to play Rock-Paper-Scissors using block coding. When the Micro Bit was shaken it would randomly generate a symbol to represent scissors, paper or rock.

A collaborative project where young people explored different foods, first focusing on a full English breakfast and then an Italian dinner. These images of the ceramic food they have created, were modelled from clay using a variety of techniques, then painted with coloured and translucent glazes.

Lohri Bonfire
One of our students made this wonderful Lohri Bonfire.
"Lohri is a North Indian Punjabi tradition that takes place every 13 or 14 of January. It is to celebrate the beginning of spring and the joy that a newborn can bring. It is celebrated with delicious food, nuts, bonfires and kite flying as well as dancing (traditional dances like Bhangra and Giddha). I made this bonfire with Jags last week and took it home during home leave to illuminate it with lights and celebrate with music and dancing."

Christmas Treats
Students at the Royal Brompton Hospital have been enjoying festive fun by making a range of Christmas treats.
Students have made gingerbread (including reindeers!), reindeer cupcakes and puff pastry twists/mince pies. It has been great to have the classroom smell of Christmas and to see how creative students have been with their designs. We have been really impressed with their hard work and pleased that students really enjoyed taste-testing their bakes! Well done to all students 🙂

Goodbye Amanda!
Amanda, who has been a teacher at the hospital school for 36 years, will be retiring at the end of this term. While we are all sad to see her go, we wish her every happiness, good health, and many exciting adventures ahead.

To celebrate, Amanda chose to enjoy a tea party with us, and, given her interest in a possible future career as a spy (!), we themed the celebration as a spy party.

Best wishes, Amanda, from all of us.
