World Book Day

6th March 2020Loveday Fisk

“There’s always room for a story that can transport people to another place.” – J.K. Rowling

“Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today.” – Robert McKee

In school we love to make world book day special for everyone, the children and staff are welcomed to dress up as their favourite characters and that is just what we did! Everyone made a great effort and looked fantastic in their costumes. We carried on our celebration all day with a visit from ZooLab – meeting some animals, holding them and stroking them while having a story told… “We’re Going on Animal Hunt”.

We ended the day with a special assembly, here children of all ages got to act out their favourite stories and catwalk all the brilliant character outfits!

Stories are the essence of imagination for children, they open up their world of fantasy! Story telling can benefit our children in so many ways – teaching them about different emotions, relationships and forgiveness. It gives them a level of understanding in comprehension and sequencing increasing memory skills and creativity. Stories give our children confidence, helping them with vocabulary and listening skills. World book day is the one day of the year we get to celebrate the impact stories have on our children’s lives – a day we can showcase our favourite stories and characters!

Thank you for reading, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we do!

Best wishes, Loveday and Team xx

We love books!

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

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 24^th 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:
