Fun in the Snow :)

10th March 2023Rachael Ford

Our Animal topic continued this week in messy play with a farm themed tuff tray.  The children really enjoyed playing with the farm animals and exploring the different textures which included cereal, artificial grass and uncooked green rice.  They also loved getting messy and making animal footprints in the paint with the large farm animals.  Birthday boy Thomas was very engaged in this activity and full of smiles, Happy Birthday Thomas!

The children have had a great time in the snow this week! They have loved exploring it, touching it, throwing it and even tasting it.  Kira led a lovely session on Thursday with syringes and food colouring in the snow which really engaged the children.  They also made a start on some cards for their Mammies 🙂

Class 2 have, as always loved their regular weekly sessions, and we now have Sensory Circuit on our timetable which was very popular! Here are a few photos of some of them in Soft Play.

Have a great weekend!

World Book Day

3rd March 2023Rachael Ford

This week Hadrian School are celebrating World Book Day with lots of lovely activities around school.  In class 2 the children started this special week with our new sensory story, ‘Down on the farm’. The children really enjoyed interacting with the story props both during the story and afterwards. Maaz in particular loved playing with the pigs in mud!  This story was also an introduction to our Spring term 2 topic ‘Animals’.

Class 2 have really enjoyed getting cosy on the bean bags and enjoying some animal themed books such as Dear Zoo, Little Rabbit Foo foo and We’re going on a bear hunt.  The children were really engaged and enjoyed exploring the books with staff.  Lawson loved sharing ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ with a very enthusiastic Kira 🙂

The Children celebrated World Book Day with a whole school assembly.  Ollie-Joe represented Class 2 in the parade and did a fantastic job on the catwalk.  The children enjoyed listening to stories from ‘The masked storytellers’ and joining in with some story themed songs such as ‘A squash and a squeeze’ and ‘When Goldilocks went to the house of the bears’.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and we look forward to seeing the children back on Monday 🙂

Class 9 weekly update

3rd February 2023Elaine Quinn

On Monday we had a very busy day, we had our usual carousel that we do every morning before playtime. After playtime we practiced brushing our teeth for 2 minutes listening to our song. In the afternoon we had our first lesson in Lego therapy working as a team to build different heights and shapes. To finish our day we went to the trim trail to work on our climbing skills.

 

Tuesday was a very fun and exciting day. In the morning we had our usual routine and then we had our food technology lesson earlier where we made salt dough for our Friday afternoon. On Tuesday afternoon we had a whole school ceildh where we danced in a big circle moving round the sports hall holding hands with all of our friends at Hadrian.

We hope you all enjoyed your extra day off on Wednesday.

Thursday we were straight back into our routine in the morning of our work carousel. After break we designed our own fish following our topic on The Great Barrier reef using different paper and pencils to create scales. Our favorite afternoon of the week is a Thursday afternoon in the thrive room.

Our final day of the week was started off with an achievers assembly, watching our friends videos on the amazing work they have been doing over the half term. After assembly we have a long playtime with all of our friends. After lunch we had a salt dough lesson with the dough we made on Tuesday, making different shapes and counting out how many pieces we have cut the dough into. To finish off our week we had a special treat of going to our school soft play.
