The workshops have been led by our visiting digital artist Chloe Lawson, inspiring young people with autism to get creative and learn new skills.

This project has been funded from the Age Autism Society, with a selection of pupils from Dovedale taking part in art workshops during Well-being Wednesday, learning new skills of colour theory and digital art.

Abigail from Dovedale spent a morning at @bomlab [Birmingham Open Media], where she was filmed by BBC Midlands today for taking part in a project called 'Blueprint For Life'.

Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay - the international day to remember the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside millions of other people murdered under Nazi persecution of other groups.

A sneak peak of filming at BOM today featuring our Blueprint For Life project. With thanks for @landau for funding this project and helping us make a real impact with autistic learners @JBA_Live Dovedale. We should be featured on @bbcmtd today at 6.30 on BBC1.

As part of a new James Brindley Academy initiative, we have been giving out JBA hoodies to the long-term pupils at @Bham_Childrens . These have been received really well and they're loving wearing them!

@FamilyFund are delighted to announce that it is hosting an Information and Support day in Birmingham on Tuesday 31 January 2023 at Touchbase Pears, Selly Oak -10:30am to 2:30pm More information below:

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 results were a fun collection of interesting heads! Well done D group!

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.

Moreover, they have spent 2 sessions so far which consists of having a tour of the farm and learning about daily checks the animals have every day. Pupils have also learnt why wearing wellies on the farmis a fundamental must !

Pupils at Northfield are visiting @RiversideEdInfo Farm in Wythall during their wellbeing session this term. They are working on Farm safety, animal safety and learn about Manual handling.
