Neurodiversity Week
During the week of the 18th March, children and staff at Milborne Port Primary School celebrated Neurodiversity Week. We completed lessons on what this is and what this means to us. Please click on the image below to see an example. We also went on a 'neurodiversity poster hunt'. We looked at the different celebrities, their neurodiversity and how this has helped them to be the most creative, innovative and diverse people around.
