Our morning groups have been developing their listening and talking skills.\u00a0 We have been learning to use our words to communicate how we are feeling and to ask for support.\u00a0 We have also had opportunities to play with our peers and share resources positively.\u00a0 We are developing our literacy and numeracy skills in a small group before applying what we have learned in our main class.\u00a0 Our core groups are growing in confidence and like to support one another which is so lovely to see!<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Friday PE and Sensory Play Group\u00a0\u00a0\"Free<\/b><\/div>\n
For some of our pupils, being in the gym hall in a large group can be challenging.\u00a0 This session gives those pupils the opportunity to participate in physical activity while in a small group; this is then followed by some lovely, calm sensory time.\u00a0 We hope to build the children’s confidence and provide some positive routines in the gym hall that our pupils can transfer when using the space with their main class.\u00a0 Our current focus is following safety rules in the gym hall and children are making steady progress.<\/div>\n
