Happy World Autism Day

Many of the pupils who attend Haysholm are diagnosed with Autism.  The Coronavirus situation is very challenging due to the massive change in routine that it has caused.  If you can create some sense of routine and structure and home, this will help tremendously. Use of visuals will help your child know and understand what is expected of them.

There are some excellent resources on our website in the ‘For Parents’ section that you can use to help support understanding and predictability including the school closure kit.    If you would like a hard copy of this or any other visuals for home, please do not hesitate to get in touch and we can deliver.

Meantime, let’s celebrate the skills, talents, unique abilities that our pupils do have … every single one of them brings a smile to our faces.

Happy World Autism Day

Thursday 2nd April

Good morning Lewis Class. Today would have been our last day at school before the holidays. Had we been there, we would have finished off with lots of fun! I’ve included a link below which gives you some nice sensory ideas for Easter.

Today’s special job is… to do something that makes you happy. Mrs Gribben gave us this challenge last week, but I think this is a ‘challenge’ that is so important to revisit. Everyone has done so well over the past couple of weeks in settling into this new routine. All of the ladies are missing you greatly, but we have loved seeing your photos and videos. Thank you so much for keeping in touch with us!

Take care of yourselves and stay safe!

Tacpac

Hi Everyone,

Here is  a link from TacPac that offers parents set 5 of Tacpac free of charge for 3 months to use at home. Thought this would be useful for some of our children who enjoy Tacpac sessions at school. They are also compiling a series of short training videos on Facebook to help everyone get started and to get the best out of the sessions.  Parents should click the link below and at checkout add the code 8Q7A3TXS. Once done direct parents to www.facebook.com/TacpacLtd to watch the short video.

Tacpac draws together touch and music to create a structured session of sensory communication between two people

Hope this is helpful 😊

Hi I would just like to say hello to everyone, I think everyone is doing amazing putting things in place to support staff and families, I love looking at all of the things our kids in Haysholm have been doing.

I have had a productive morning making a 5 min PE video (oh my word it was hard work!! Lol)  Take care and be safe 👍🌈.

Skye Class Scavenger Hunt

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all well and staying safe. Today I have set a wee challenge for you all 🙂 As the weather is so nice and dry lets get wrapped up and get out in the Garden. I have attached a link to a nature scavenger hunt that has some great items you can find in your garden or whilst you are out getting your daily exercise. You can find one item or find a few and count out each item you find. Good Luck
