We love books!

6th March 2020Coralie Forbes

What a wonderful week we have had celebrating our love of books!

We had a visit to Seven Stories where we participated in a sensory story  ‘Jungle Jamboree’, it was great fun and the children got to dress up in the animal outfits, listen to the different animals sounds and feel lots of textures similar to animal skin.

The children enjoy stories so much,  it gives many opportunities to make choices, practice cause and effect and communicate their feelings/likes/dislikes through eye contact, vocalisations, gestures and early Makaton signs.

We had a whole school celebration for World Book Day where the children dressed as characters, they all looked fabulous and had such a great day! In the afternoon we watched some classes doing short plays of their favourite stories.

ZOOLAB came to visit and we got to meet lots of creatures such as snakes, cockroaches, millipedes. We were very brave holding and stroking them.

Hoot Hoot!

World Book Day

6th March 2020Sharon Dodd

What wonderful fun we had on World Book Day. We had a special visit from ZooLab who brought a snail, cockroach, millipede and a snake for us to look at and if we wanted to, we could touch or hold them – look at just how brave some of us were! We also had the chance to take part in ‘The Gruffalo’ story yoga as well as getting dressed up as our favourite characters. To end the day we had a special assembly and shared lots of stories.

This week in Class 2

28th February 2020Dave Robinson

On Monday we had lots of fun playing in the snow. We all made sure that we wrapped up nice and warm with hats and gloves and headed out into the Early Years Playground. We threw snowballs, ran around, built a snowman and had a lovely time. Unfortunately, the snow didn’t last very long, so it was back into the classroom for a cup of nice, warming, hot chocolate.

This week, Sehrish finally got her own VOCA. She has enjoyed exploring all of the new menus and has found lots of exciting things to say. Check back later in the year for an update on how she is getting on!

 

The Three Little Pigs

28th February 2020Sharon Dodd

This term we are reading the story of ‘The Three Little Pigs’. In messy play this week we used lots of different coloured pink media and materials to create 3 giant pig faces. We had great fun gluing, sticking and painting. We have also been building houses with bricks and blowing them down again!

Welcome back everyone

28th February 2020Sharon Dodd

Welcome back everyone we hope you had a lovely holiday and are excited to be back at school. This week we welcomed Stacey into our class, she has settled straight in and is already making new friends.

Also this week we had great fun in our special pancake assembly where we watched the adults tossing pancakes high into the air. In class we made our own pancakes, we poured, mixed, cooked and tossed them, then we were able to choose some delicious toppings to go on them, chocolate spread seemed to be a real winner!

 

Let it Snow!

27th February 2020Loveday Fisk

Hello to everyone, hope you all had a fantastic February half term and welcome back!

Monday 24th February was our first day back after the half term and the weather was forecast for snow! It was tricky getting everyone in with roads being slippery and traffic building up, however this didn’t stop the children in school enjoying the snow while it was here!

Snow play was exciting and fun for those who enjoy exploring! Peniel, Kimberly, Lacey and Jacob chose to be among the snow in the outdoor play area. Kimberly’s balance with her new independent walking skills was definitely tested but that did not stop her. The children enjoyed crunching the snow beneath their feet and in their hands, making snow balls, and generally having a great time in the snow with their friends.

A wonderful start to the term. Thanks for reading, see you all next week, Loveday and Team xx

Love, Life

Happy Valentine’s everyone! We have had a fantastic fortnight here in 6c – take it away Brandon:

 

 

We are making great progress in our English topic of autobiographies. We interviewed each other to learn information about our friends that they can use when they come to write our life stories. Take a look:

Our personalised weekly timetable books are coming along very nicely:

And finally, we have had a fantastic time celebrating Valentine’s Day, as Brandon has very eloquently explained:

Have a great weekend and a lovely half term!

Magnet at the Discovery Museum

12th February 2020Ellen Jankowski

Today we took our science learning on the road and visited the Discovery Museum. The children enjoyed experimenting with the different magnets to see which they could make ‘push’ or ‘pull’. They loved the feel of the magnets pushing against each other when ‘like’ poles were put together. We also found some super fun tubes which we could talk down and the children loved trying to work out which friend they could hear at the other end. There was also a wonderful ball tube which sent balls zooming using the power of suction and we were so proud to watch their team work as they passed the balls from the end to the beginning and took turns with members of the public at putting them in the tube. The behaviour of the class was great and we always feel so proud to take them out and about, especially when members of the public comment on their behaviours and manners too!
