Photostories of students

IDENTITY -
"It's not until we know where we have come from that we can begin to make sense of where we want to go on"

In ICT our students have been creating PHOTOSTORIES about themselves, where they are from, their likes and dislikes, what they like to do and also displaying photographs and text to accompany their story.

 

 

Shanae is a student who attended Salisbury Girls School for 2 years. Our school is a special school for girls with complex learning needs. Shanae created this photostory about her time at Salisbury and wanted to give other students a message about not giving up when the going gets tough.
Shanae has cerebal palsy and was at first reluctant to speak but she persevered. She was always fully involved in school life and was a student leader, participated fully in sports teams and enjoyed running. Shanae is an inspiration to others, very resilent and  an awesome role model.

 

Watch Ormie the Pig - Try try again and don't give up!

Our students really enjoyed watching this humourous video, we counted how many different ways Ormie the Pig tried to get the cookie.
