Summary:

At Mulberry School a small group of girls with severe and complex needs are integrated into the mainstream school through their work in the Discovery Group. We see them first in the multi-sensory room with SENCO Rachel Wheeler and SEN teacher Lauren Denyer, working on their receptive and expressive language and communication skills as part of their daily routine. We also see some of the techniques used to develop letter and word recognition and pre-reading skills with these girls. A group of teachers and TAs choose to take classes in signing to help them communicate with the girls. In the food technology class, led by special needs teacher Vic Lee, the Discovery Group girls are joined by other girls with less complex needs who benefit from helping these girls out. Finally we see the Discovery Group girls in the school's Poetry Café during Book Week where they are able to share and perform their favourite poems and enjoy the contributions of their mainstream peers.
