This week we wanted to share with you our rebound therapy work. It is a festive time of year, filled with Christmas fun. But even during these festive times, we maintain physical outcomes as a priority in class. It is so important to all of our children to continue to work hard to make sure we are well over the festive period as well as any other time of the year. What better way to achieve this than using our bespoke Rebound Therapy Centre. In our weekly sessions we work on children’s individual rebound therapy programmes. We learn about balance, posture, position, strength, stamina and movement. We start the session with a lovely stretch and massage to get our bodies ready to work. We then use equipment on the trampolines to encourage exploration and play, enabling children to work without even knowing they are working!!! Our Rebound Therapy centre is essential for our children to access a broad physical education curriculum, meeting the needs of every child who accesses it.
Have a look at our session’s in action….

This week in class, our little Loveday elves also began making gifts for home in our Christmas toy shop! See if you can guess what we began making.
Here’s a clue….you can hang it on you Christmas tree!!!
Well done to our wonderful Fatima. She was awarded a certificate in our zoom assembly this morning. She was presented with this certificate and her chosen treat was a bag of Maltesers which she enjoyed as she watched the rest of our achievers assembly!
A little elf told me this week that Loveday’s class were in the process of making a Christmas show!! Watch this space for details to follow.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas……
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Stay safe!
