ASDAN
This half term we have been completing challenges linked to Communication. We had to follow instructions to make something. We made an Autumn Leaf bowl out of clay, using imprints from Autumn leaves we had found. Then we decorated them with oil pastels and used an acrylic wash to bring out the detail of the leaf imprint.
Maths
We have been working on developing our number skills for our Personal Progress qualification. We have counted out numbers and sequenced them from smallest to largest.

We have been finding out how to use different home kitchen equipment. We used the kettle to make hot chocolate and the toaster to make toast. We also linked into our ASDAN accreditation by giving our friends verbal instructions for how to use the equipment.
Foodwise
This half term we were challenged to create a menu for a week with a budget of £5 per day. We used laptops to research the prices of ingredients and then made a sample of dishes from our menu.
Foodwise
We have been practising our knife skills using the bridge and claw hold. We made yummy fruit kebabs!
ASDAN
We have been busy finding out how to use the washing machine in school to do our laundry. This is towards our Independent Living module.

We have been working on an enterprise project where we have made Christmas Gifts and craft items to sell. We have explored profit and loss and linked this to our Maths work where we have made graphs to show our total sales and profit.
