CHILDREN at a Fishponds school had a magical experience to inspire their science and English topics.

The trip was timed to give the children a "brilliant beginning" to their English studies reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and a topic on the 'magic of science'.
A school spokesperson said: "The children had an incredibly exciting and magical experience, and returned to school with plenty of inspiration ready for their English and science lessons.
"It is wonderful to be able to offer the children these experiences that bring their topics to life."
School's resource base
WORK on a new facility to provide extra support for pupils with disabilities has finished at an Eastville school.
The resource base at May Park Primary School is purpose-built to provide children with autism spectrum condition and speech, language and communication difficulties with the " best possible learning experience". The base has three new classrooms, each designed to meet the specific needs of pupils and equipped with the latest technology. Facilities include a sensory room and therapy areas.
A school spokesperson said: "All the classrooms are bright, airy, and spacious, providing a comfortable and stimulating learning environment. They are also fully accessible, providing equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their individual needs.
"This is an exciting time for May Park Primary School, and we are very much looking forward to welcoming students into these new classrooms and facilities. We are proud to be able to serve our community with this new resource base, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact this facility will have on children’s learning and development.
"We would like to thank everyone who has been involved in the project, including the contractors and school staff, for their hard work and dedication in making this happen. It's clear that this new resource base is a great investment in the future of our pupils and we can't wait to see them flourish in their new surroundings."
