Mackenzie Thorpe Centre

The Mackenzie Thorpe Centre is an independent specialist school based in South Bank, Redcar and Cleveland for pupils aged 5-19


Working together to inspire, support, celebrate and equip autistic and neurodiverse people to fulfil their potential in life.

This week class 6 took a cross-curricular approach to their learning, with sessions linked to the festival of Diwali and Bonfire Night.

In science, pupils explored experiments that created illusions of fireworks and we discussed how and why the chemical reactions were taking place.

They also learned abut Diwali and made Diva lamps to celebrate the Festival of Light. We also wrote instructions on how to make diva lamps if you would like to make some too!
