Birch 2 have been doing some fantastic counting using Autumnal objects during their Maths sessions.
They have been counting conkers and matching them to magnetic numerals. They have also been finding one more and one less of the number of conkers they have.
In school this year we are meeting curious critters! We have been ticking skinny guineas, stroking snakes and feeling cockroaches! We have been very brave even if our teachers were more reluctant! This is helping to reduce our anxieties around animals and explore different animals close up.
This half term, Elm 1 have been learning about and exploring all areas of Our School. The pupils had the chance to visit our Soft Play, Cooking Room, Sensory Gym, Sensory Studio, Immersive Learning and Natures Den. The pupils have taken advance of these amazing learning spaces to develop their understanding of the world as well as all areas of our rich curriculum.
The Sing and Sign Choir have reunited for another year of musical fun. Over the past few weeks choir have been discussing what type of song they would like to learn next and adding them to our Mind Map, getting suggestions from classes and teachers from across school. We’ve selected the most popular six and put them up for a vote! The Sing and Sign Choir look forward to rehearsing their new songs in anticipation of a performance in December.
A few pupils from across school will be visiting Meadowbank primary School every Thursday afternoon to develop their communication, PSHE skills and play skills with new friends. Today, a few children from maple 2 went for their first visit. They enjoyed icing cakes, filling and emptying porridge oats, rolling and shaping playdough, games on the computer plus outside play!
8 children in total from across school went and took part in an Interactive performance. They all listened intently, joined in with the activities and could answer questions related to the story of Anousha.
‘Anousha has been signed up to play in her local rugby tournament. There is just one problem… she doesn’t know anything about rugby! After her Grandpa’s advice proves less than helpful, she decides to visit her local library to do some research, but there is so much information; it all seems very confusing. Come and help Anousha as she learns how to become brave, strong and confident, ready for her first Rugby League match’.
