Here in the Home Rooms we've been working on developing the garden last half term. Liz and I ordered some lovely chunky furniture and students have been busy growing fruit, veg and flowers to add some colour, smells, tastes and textures. S did a wonderful job of repointing the wall and has started a pizza oven build.

This term we've set some more student challenges:

A has been growing sunflowers and measuring them. Which one do you think will be the tallest?

T is developing an area for wildlife and a sensory garden. We're visiting a garden centre this term to look for plants and seeds.

C will be building a raised bed from 6 planks. We've set him the challenge of finding the best way to build it. You can have a go at his challenge too. Download the instructions here.

At 'head-honcho-central' we get to see the work you do with tutors and mentors everyday, whether you work with us in the home rooms, in your home or online. It's fabulous! 

It's soooo fabulous that we fixed our minds to create a space where we could share it with the world! If you've got work or photos you'd like to add to our page please let your tutor or mentor know and they will pass it on to us.

Work is uploaded towards the end of each half term. You can add your initials or be anonymous - that's completely up to you!

(well OK, it's not a corner, but it IS a good place for advice). We all have worries some of the time. Our team has got together the places we think are great sources of advice for children and teens. Of course, we are always ready to listen at Next Steps too.
