World Autism Acceptance Week

​This week, children from across the school took part in an assembly and follow up activities to mark World Autism Acceptance Week.  The key message was that everyone is different. We learnt that people with autism are not ill but instead see the world in a unique way. We explored ways in which we can be a good classmate to people with autism - we discussed a number of scenarios and how we could support and help one another in these situations.
