We’ve had a fantastic few weeks full of hands-on learning, sensory exploration, and Halloween celebrations!
✨ Sensory Play and Literacy
Our learners have been enjoying foam play while exploring the sounds ‘m’ and ‘a’. The soft, bubbly texture made it fun to form letters, trace shapes, and listen for the sounds in words. Sensory play helps our pupils engage with learning in a calm, enjoyable way — and there were lots of smiles and messy hands!
🔺 Shapes in Numeracy
In maths, we’ve been practising recognising and naming shapes using concrete materials such as blocks, puzzles, and sorting toys. The children loved building towers, matching shapes, and discovering which ones roll or stack. These activities help develop early numeracy skills while keeping learning active and playful.
🌳 Outdoor and Sensory Movement
We’ve also spent time in the outdoor area and sensory room, giving learners opportunities to move, regulate, and explore different textures and sounds. Outdoor P.E. sessions have been full of energy and laughter, while the sensory room offered a peaceful space for calm time afterwards.
🎃 Halloween Fun!
To finish off the week last week, we celebrated with our Halloween parties — and they were a huge success! Everyone enjoyed dressing up, dancing, and joining in with spooky-themed games and sensory activities. It was a wonderful way to bring integrate classes together and celebrate in a fun, inclusive way.
We’re so proud of how engaged and happy our learners have been — it’s been a brilliant balance of fun, movement, and learning!
