Thank You Woolworths!

 

Thanks to Sherry, mum of Sam in Year 8, the local branch of Woolworths donated a cheque of just over £350 to the Unit so that we could extend the resources that we have for the pupils to use.

 

This was a chance for us to buy items on our "wish list" so we were all very grateful to Woolworths for the chance to indulge ourselves.

 

Below is a picture of Louise accepting the cheque from the chairman of the charity committee of the Swindon Woolworth's store.

So, what did we buy?

 

digcam.jpg (11416 bytes) A digital camera for pupils to take pictures of practical work made in class - a chance to then print off pictures straight away

Also so that we can take photographs of the different events that we go to and publish them on the internet.

 A pair of two way radios that we will be able to use to give pupils greater independence around the school - keep in touch with staff from around the school at the touch of a button!

 

cd.jpg (6924 bytes) A CD / Radio / Cassette player that has a built in microphone.

This will help pupils when it comes to recording their work - as well as being small enough to take with us when we go away on our Adventure Holidays for a bit of light relief!

  Once again - our thanks to all the people at Woolworth's for helping us out in such a generous manner!
