Hi everyone,

Welcome to class 1/2 and the first blog of the school year! The last 8 days of school have been great, we have spent lots of time getting to know the children, introducing them to each other and finding out the things they enjoy (and don’t).

On our team we have Jess (me), Michele, Lindsay, Alyson and Corrie. Alyson and Corrie had some of the children last year, which has been such a good help.

We have such a confident and brave group of children in class 1/2. They have been dragging us around the hydro pool, requesting more on the trampoline and climbing all over the soft play. We can’t wait to see what they achieve this year.

We have been independently playing in the Thrive Room, the children enjoyed dressing up and exploring their environment.

We are lucky enough to have two classrooms! We have one set up for more formal activities, such as circle time and snack time. Our other classroom is decorated for communication and exploration activities. This term is space! It is decorated with our very own sensory wall and black out tent. The children love the foil blankets and torches. We also have a circus corner/thrive, the children love playing with lots of cause and effect toys.

Music Therapy was a great success! The children thoroughly enjoyed playing the various musical instruments. We definitely have some music lovers in here.

Thank you for all the snacks. I will be organising a coffee afternoon as soon as possible and will hopefully see you all there.

Have a lovely weekend,

Class 1/2
