We are so excited to share a brand-new project we are launching alongside Mission Sensory. Our new initiative is called Mission Tech – Walking Miles for Reynalds Cross Smiles. This project is all about giving our pupils the tools they need to communicate, learn, and thrive in an ever-growing digital world. We are inviting our wonderful school dojo families and friends to support us in a simple but powerful way by putting on your walking boots and helping us collectively walk 151 miles (one mile for every pupil in our school). You can complete your miles at your own time and pace a few steps a day, a family weekend walk, or walks with friends. Every mile counts towards our shared goal. We are not running the London Marathon. We are not doing a half marathon. We are simply walking together, in our own community, for our children helping to achieve something they truly need. Why Are We Walking? We are raising funds to lease new iPads for our pupils. These devices are not a luxury they are an essential part of our children's education, communication, and independence. As we move further into a world driven by technology, it is vital that our children have equal access to the tools that help them be heard. We would love to bring our walking challenge to a close during Mental Health Awareness Week in May, finishing together as a school community. Full details of our final walk celebration will be shared soon.

What an amazing giveaway from Sendiplay Sensory Our pupils would benefit massively from equipment like this. We're a specialist school and sensory support is a huge part of how we help our children feel calm, safe and ready to learn. A room like this would be used every single day and would make a real difference to our school. If you could like, share and tag to help our school we would be very grateful!

In Geography, Rainbows Class have been using their senses to learn about different countries from around the world. Pupils have enjoyed listening to national anthems, touching, tasting and smelling foods, and decorating flags using a variety of art materials and mark-making tools.

In Sunshines Class, pupils have been learning about different countries in their Geography lessons. They learnt about India by listening to the national anthem, creating the flag, and exploring food from Indian cuisine. Everyone had the opportunity to touch, smell, and even taste the food, with poppadoms proving to be a clear class favourite.
