Curriculum

On Tuesday 11th July, an enormously proud set of parents and staff looked on as the pupils performed their newfound skills and abilities in horseriding at the RDA centre in Liphook.

A range of skills were demonstrated, from walking to trotting, weaving with the horse under control using the reigns, and jumping.

As a finale, the pupils demonstrated 'Round the World' which demands pupils remain on horseback, yet turn a complete 360 degrees whilst still sitting on the saddle.

Pupils at Stepping Stones school have had weekly visits to the RDA centre in Liphook and forms an integrated part of their Physical Education curriculum. The pupils have the opportunity to continue riding in September when they begin working towards a certificate in dressage.

We were all greatly impressed by the confidence and enjoyment shown by the pupils. Well done all!

Art specialist, Hester Whittle of Grayshott NADFAS, visited Stepping Stones School to provide our pupils with some creative activities in Art.

Hester said:

"As Young Arts representative of Grayshott NADFAS it has been a pleasure to visit Stepping Stones again. Despite the heat of July 3rd the students worked with keen interest and enthusiasm and produced some pleasing drawings and pastel paintings.

We explored tone, line and colour, spent some time in the garden drawing plant forms and produced some colourful work inspired by Kandinsky. I thoroughly enjoyed working with such lively young people and look forward to my next visit"

Here are some photographs of the pupils working with Hester...
