We're looking forward to welcoming our students back to Sutherland House School! 🎉
Here's some photos from before their Easter break, where we held an amazing easter bonnet parade for pupils and parents. 🐣
Activities included cake decorating, Easter-themed sensory tuff trays, watching Peter Rabbit and music from Al our wonderful 'Music Man.'
Students loved dancing and enjoying a parade to show off their easter bonnets 🥰

The Easter spirit was truly felt at Whitegates! 🐣
James did some Easter baking and then went around our respite service handing out his baked treats to everyone staying at respite 🥰
Building independent skills like baking is one thing; but the empathy, pride and care that James showed in sharing his work is incredible.
In his own bunny costume, no less! 🐰
