Wowee, what a corker of a week it’s been for us here in Dave’s class! With plenty of hydration, lots of rests in the shade and enough factor 50 to potentially coat the whole school twice, we’ve made it through this heatwave!

We’ve made the most of the heat and adapted all of our everyday lessons in order to be able to work outside in the sunshine everyday! We spent another morning at Babs’ and June’s seaside setup on Tuesday, where we tried out building sandcastles and serving ice-creams to our friends. We couldn’t take our usual hydrotherapy spot on Wednesday afternoon, and so some of us saw our friend Tom for music therapy while others got to keep cool by taking part in water play with our friends in Grace’s class. We all had so much fun splashing in the paddling pools and squirting the water pistols, not even the grown-ups could avoid getting soaked!

We had so much fun that we decided to do water play again on Thursday afternoon after our morning of hard work exercising at Jabadao! This time the whole class got to enjoy an afternoon of water fun and we loved being joined by our neighbours: Phil’s class! We made this into a multi-sensory activity, with different bubble baths giving each paddling pool a different scent and the hosepipe providing a different temperature than the warm pools! We all loved getting the chance to slide down the slide and splash into the pool at the end.

Lets all keep our fingers crossed that this warm streak continues, and that the weather stays lovely for our class trip to the seaside on Monday! Have a great weekend everyone – Dave and team 🙂
