Visit to Brooklands School—Diversity Week

Yesterday 4M visited Brooklands school in Reigate, a specialist provision, as part of a month of celebrating diversity. During the visit children from 4M worked in groups with the children from Brooklands. They planted seeds, designed t-shirts with paint, visited the soft play area and the school's amazing new outdoor trim trial. They are all still buzzing with excitement from the experience. Here are some of the comments made by the children:

" I had a great time at Brooklands school, the school staff and children were soooooooo nice and kind. I really enjoyed the visit and all of the activities!"

" We visited Brooklands school, which is a special school and different to ours. The children there had different needs and disabilities. By the end of our visit I did not feel like we were so different."

" I loved this school as there was so much creativity. My favourite one was painting and designing our own t-shirt. It was good to make new friends and play with them."

" I had such an amazing time and I learned that the children at Brooklands school, their brains work a little differently to mine."

"The school was so colourful and it was so much fun meeting the children that go there. I learned a lot about diversity and how we are all different not just children at special schools."
