This week we have been working on making choices – by selecting our favourite characters from the film ‘Inside Out’ using pictures, sensory bottles and the oil mats.
We also been working on our numeracy skills using the Switch IT Games and colourful objects to count. Jacob enjoys the Switch IT games, Reece and Jessica love working together.
We continued with our Cloudy with a chance of meatballs theme this week and made Cheesy Rolls – yummy!!! The dough proved – got REALLY BIG – the Science bit!!! we kneaded it, added the cheese and baked it.
Adam got a great honour in receiving a Head Teachers Award, he was really pleased and we were all really proud – he is just trying to look really cool!!!!
Last Friday we make some lovely seasonal art – two beautiful hedgehogs.
In Science we made a Skittle Rainbow. By placing Skittles round a plate and pouring really warm water on them – step back and watch the magic!!!
The afternoon was spent enjoying the company of the others in secondary and raising some money for McMillan. Jessica also raised money for Jeans for Genes!!!!
This week has been great because Adam is back – and we were all so pleased to see him and he was pleased to see us too!!
In Home Economics we made Jelly Pots – so we counted in some different sweets, watched some rise and some sink and when we saw them later the runny mixture had set!!! Just like the jelly in our story.
Reece enjoyed a bubbly foot spa in Sensory play.
And Shannon impressed us in her lift pants.
While Jessica was in her Standing Frame Jacob kept her entertained with the Switch IT Songs.
Today we walked down the Primary corridor and looked for the pictures for our literacy hunt. And this afternoon enjoyed relaxation and Tac-Pac!!
We had a ball during our sensory PE session this morning! We played some fun warm up games followed by rounders., hide-and-seek and ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf?’
We had a giggle whilst working hard on our M.O.V.E targets, stretching our muscles and using great communication. What a group of successful learners.
Last Friday we had a lovely time at the Fun day – we saw the Ponies, Owls and lots of other fluffy animals.
In keeping with our theme we made four different types of Angel Delight. Some of them we made in the big mixer, and presses the switch to make it mix – others went old school and used a rotary whisk!!! Then tasted them to decide which one we liked best, the Bluebell Class joined us for the tasting.
Assembly was about Harvest – and even better it was Sensory!!
This morning we went on a Literacy Hunt to look for symbols to put on to our Board.
YES .a. The sun came out this week so we managed to get out and play on the playground equipment, make some bubbles and drawing with chalk on the pavement!!!
We were Confident Individuals and heated up some meatballs and boiled spaghetti – and tried eating it like Lady and the Tramp!
We enjoyed some time playing with different musical instruments.
We continued with our ICE Pack Theme – How Do I Feel? And read the story of Hugless Douglass, and then watched some Inside Out, played with the sensory material and made a new feelings poster for our room.
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!!!
This week we have continued with our theme ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’ and made some fantastic stained glass umbrellas in Art for our display. Also, cupcakes decorated like plates of spaghetti and meatballs – we all liked pressing the switch to make the mixer work!!
In Literacy we enjoyed Jolly Phonics and matched our props with the songs and actions.
We have had fun with our sensory activities and MOVE, and we love singing, signing and dancing to Baby Shark – it makes us all really happy!
This week we have enjoyed getting to know each other better through lots of different activities.
