Richard Hore

We were so lucky to be invited over to one of the Year 2 classes to join in with listening to their visitor today. Richard Hore came in with his guide dog, Grace. He read to us from is book that was in Braille. Can you remember what he read? The book was very old. It was given to him when he was 8. Richard also play his keyboard for us, wow check out the video clips below. 

What did you learn from him related to communication?

The week that was Week 7

Another week has flown by with lots of wonderful things happening in Room 19 and Senior School.

Huge thanks to the parents who helped their child with the speech writing. We had 100 % of students present their speech during the last couple of weeks. 

These 4 student were our top speech writers and presenters. It was very close and hard to pick only two Year 5 and two Year 6 students. 

These are the Room 19 students who went on to represent us.
