The Beech class were delighted to participate in a pet therapy session with Kelly and Poppy this week! All pupils really enjoyed interacting with Poppy and learning about how to take care of her. Lyle, Gemma and Sean especially enjoyed working with and playing with Poppy and were very responsible citizens when they followed instructions and used gentle hands.
This week the Pine Class have been Successful Learners when starting a short unit of work in the ICE Pack programme about ‘How we Feel?’ We watched some of the movie Inside Out and used some sensory bags to help us decide what we were feeling at that time.
We have continued with our theme and this week made Sardine Biscuits – and everyone that tried them said they were great!!
We went around the school yesterday on a Literacy Treasure Hunt – looking for pictures and putting in the correct card.
We have also had fun colour sorting different objects and playing with the switches.
Have a lovely weekend!!!
Another fantastic week in the Sunflowers class. The children are settled into the routine of school and this week we focussed on some numeracy tasks as it is National Maths Week. The children were confident individuals and able to choose a song from the app “Number songs” on our Interactive Whiteboard. There are lots to chose from and the songs are very good. We also played lots of interactive games. We all loved the one where we had to give the teddy the correct number of cakes.
We also went on a number hunt around the school. We had a sheet with numbers and had to find the same as we explored around the corridors of the school. 
Fun with food this week, we made fruit faces and tasted / licked a variety of food.
All boys were confident individuals to try some of the fruit that they would not normally choose to eat.
Our topic work this term is learning to develop our life skills through our book study, Soup Day & Pizza Day.
We will develop our skills in the following areas;
We made vegetable soup today in cooking, on Monday we made the shopping list for all the ingredients we would need. Today, we were effective contributors to work together to prepare the vegetables and make the soup.
Everyone enjoyed working on our independent life skills, we were all successful learners and achieved success in our own way.
We got our faces a little bit messy, we posed in the mirror and had to wipe our face clean.
Each week we will be taking part in different life skills to help us be more independent and look after our bodies.
Personal Hygiene
Changing bed covers & folding clothes
We all have our own style of folding our clothes and making the bed. The boys enjoyed getting into the bed!
The Bluebells have been familiarising themselves with the art room. As part of their topic, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, the pupils have created a character using sensory materials.
Barry Strawberry was made using soft red cloth and crinkly yellow tissue paper. Well done everyone! Lots of hard work from these successful learners.
