Hi everyone,

We have had an excellent week in Class 1/2, they are all settled and are beginning to follow a routine. This week, we read our class story ‘The Bear Hunt’ and we will be moving onto our new class story next week! We have written our own story all about travelling to different places in the world.

Some of the children, read the story Whatever Next and chose which fruit they packed inside the rocket. Whereas other children, took part in a communication group, they loved the balloons zooming off like a rocket in the sky. We have been concentrating on developing their attention, focus and engagement.

During messy play, we focussed on exploring dry cereal and biscuits crunching them between our hands and listening to the sounds. We then decided to add water and make them wet and gloppy. It was great to see the children sharing, making choices and tracking.

We had a wonderful Space Exploration session for the first time, all of the children sat in a circle and as the music played and changed aliens visited, we blasted off around the planets (balloons) and explored various lights. They were all so engaged! It was lovely to see them relaxed and calm after the session.

For P.E, we had a Music and Movement session, it was fab watching them move and dance to the music. It was great relationship building session and the children were seeking adults out to dance.

All of the children are starting to play alongside each other. Morgan was so lovely sharing a story with his friend. Subasna loved being on the swing with Basheer.

Well done to Basheer for allowing us to enter his world. He has been asking for more and showing adults what he wants when on the trampoline, during swimming and outside in the quad. What a superstar!

We hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Thank you,

Jess, Michele, Corrie, Lindsay and Alyson.
