End of term reward

NAS80219

A little insight into how our school works, students earn points every lesson for behaviour and engagement and every week this leads up to rewards and then end of term but the end of year one, this one, is the biggest and most rewarding. 

Students get many options and most have decided to go the the theme parks or close to to school. One of the theme parks, is Thorpe Park, which is just under 2 hours away from school. For the students who are going, staff will pick them up from their house and drive straight there for 10am, some are being picked up around 7/8am which is early. We are aware that some of the students struggle with waiting and its a long drive so we are thinking of ideas to do in the cars. 

We so far have eye spy, worsearches, car bingo, Netflix, music, tablets/phones, games, snacks and drinks, weighted blankets, ear defenders, sensory toys, colouring, books, whiteboards. Just wondering if you have any ideas for the students to do? Thanks for reading.

  • I think that is probably personal preference, my daughter travels distances very well without much entertainment but I understand that others would hate long journeys. Quite a few of the things you mention would also make me travel sick if I focused on them for too long. I would be wary of taking weighted blankets in a car even under a seatbelt in case of sudden braking or a crash

    Yes, we are aware of all the risks and we do a risk assessment and there a lot of paper work before we go offsite for any activity and we do our best to minimise these risks. Weighted blankets can only be used over seat belts and with this hot weather I don't think that want them. 

    We do have a few students who get travel sickness and there are a few who don't mind long journeys and will just chat to their staff.
