Congratulations to Martin, our music teacher, who ran the London Marathon on Sunday, fundraising for Medical Aid for Palestinians and raising over £1,800. Huge thanks to everyone who sponsored, supported, and cheered him on.

“The support from the crowds all around the route was absolutely amazing – it really restores your faith in humanity, how we can all come together to encourage people to do their best. Thank you all!”

The ballot for 2027 is still open until Friday, so even if you have just the vaguest notion that running the London Marathon might be a good idea, just go for it!

There’s also still time to donate if you wish:

Bua Loi
Students at Ladbroke Grove celebrated Thai New Year this week. An demonstrated how to make 'Bua Loi', a traditional Thai dessert consisting of colourful rice balls served in coconut milk. The students enjoyed making the dough with An's expertise and making a variety of shapes including flowers, hearts and even animals! The dough balls were then boiled before being transferred to coconut milk.

Staff and students enjoyed trying the new flavours and textures in this dessert with many going back for seconds!

Thank you to An for teaching all of the staff and students at Ladbroke Grove on how to make this delicious dish!

Heart Dissection
During science we learnt about hearts and did a heart dissection. It was a very interesting lesson. We engaged with the doctors who showed us how to dissect the heart.

I Am Festival
On 12th March, young people from Collingham Child and Family Centre attended the I Am Festival at the Tate Modern. The festival is an annual celebration of the creativity, leadership and imagination of deaf, disabled and neurodiverse young people and is a fully inclusive space for young people to explore their own creativity and ideas. They enjoyed exploring the sensory room, decorated their own gold birds and then took them flying around the museum. They had previously worked with the organisation Tourettes Hero to make paper planets representing themselves and their own interests, and they also saw this work displayed as one of the museum's exhibits.
