Today, students worked together brilliantly to make and prepare two delicious homemade dips: tzatziki and hummus. This activity was a fantastic demonstration of functional life skills and teamwork. Pupils were fully independent in locating all the necessary ingredients and equipment needed for both recipes. They successfully followed multi-step instructions, measuring and mixing to perfection  to ensure the dips are perfect for our guests tomorrow!

It was a busy, focused, and fun afternoon, and we can’t wait for everyone to enjoy the fruits of their hard work at the coffee morning!

Graffiti Stars: 

What a day at Milestone @ Wilmington! We had a blast with graffiti artist Leon from Graffiti Stars, who led a fantastic workshop for our young people. Together, they created two vibrant pieces of art: a new inclusive welcome sign for the main building and a fun sign for the M@W café. It was inspiring to see every student get hands-on, choosing the colors, shapes, and words that expressed their own ideas. A massive thank you to Leon and all our amazing young artists!

Culinary Stars of the Week!

This week, our pupils put on their chef hats and took over the school cafe, proving they have what it takes to run a professional kitchen! As part of our work experience, the pupils designed, cooked, and served a delicious meal to over 40 people!

The students started by taking a trip to the supermarket, where they independently navigated the aisles to find all the ingredients on their shopping list. Their hard work and collaboration paid off as they successfully prepared and served their cafe special.

But their culinary adventures didn't stop there! The pupils also worked together to create this week's Friday special: a warm and comforting autumn butternut squash and coconut milk soup.

It was a fantastic week filled with teamwork, independence, and incredible food. Well done to all our young chefs!
