This is also so important for teenagers and young adults... shout out to the phenomenon that is our dedicated teacher at @uhbtrust @WMCancerTYA @JBA_Live
Going to school is vital for children with cancer. School helps them to feel ‘normal’ and reduces the isolation and loneliness which many children with cancer face. #Teachers have an important role in encouraging a child’s integration back into a school routine. #WorldTeachersDay

Take a look at what students at @JBA_Live did w/ us, taking a particularly gloopy & delicious-looking mix of silicone oil & acrylic paint & using heat to pop the oil, making a series of fabulously psychedelic cells in the surface. 👏👏👏 #aBlueprintForLife #CurriculumEnrichment

The pupils in D group at Dovedale got creative with a design challenge by making potato heads, using different natural and man-made materials. The objective was to use a range of materials, consider how the potato will stand up and how to join pieces together.
