On Monday 3A went for a walk to the park.

The pupils listened carefully to instructions so that they were safe by the road; they walked sensibly and checked for cars before crossing. When we got to the park the pupils had a chance to play on all of the equipment and were amazing at taking…

KS3S have loved engaging in some camping role play as part of Switzerland week! We sing campfire songs, explored tents, sat with a drink and marshmallows in camping chairs and got dressed up!

This week in KS3S we have been focusing on the core word “big” and have been responding to, and using, the word “big” in lots of ways. Students have enjoyed blowing bubble, making towers, exploring dinosaurs and their size, and reading books. We’ve also enjoyed doing lots of gross and fine motor…

For the last few weeks, 3H have been enjoying the book, "My Granny went to market" as a sensory story. 

In a circle, the students sat tight,
With "My Granny went to market" in sight.
They touched, smelled, and heard,
Every magical word,
As their senses took off in pure…

KS3S had a quick visit to the library, before spending time on the near-by park.  

A group of friends dashed from the shelves,
To the park where they laughed by themselves.
On the slide, they took flight,
With shouts of delight,
As their stories spun magic like elves!

We have enjoyed exploring all about dinosaurs in KS3S today. Students watched songs and videos, read books about dinosaurs, enjoyed exploring plastic dinosaurs in a tuff tray and made a dino craft.

KS3C have been playing games to help their team building and communication skills within their classroom. Students worked alongside each other and helping others to understand different games from chess, dominos, top trumps and jigsaws. 
 

Students from KS3C have had a wonderful science lesson learning about rocks and soil. Today they investigated soil and what it is made from. They learned the layers of soil and shared their findings with the group. Next week they are making their own from food!

This week we have been learning to sort items by colour, shape and size. We’ve also enjoyed exploring Mexico through our sense, dressing up in sombreros, making maracas and creating artwork. Our word of the week this week is “more” and we have all been using this in different ways across the…

We’ve had a fabulous week in KS3S, visiting the immersive room for our sensory story, exploring Thailand, counting, matching colours, communicating using our core word of the week, and working on our gross and fine motor skill development.

Students in KS3S have followed Granny to Thailand this week in their Topic lessons. Today they explored Thailand on Google Maps, learnt about Thai animals and made an elephant craft using ripped newspaper. Students learnt to identify different animals from Thailand, and matched the animal to its…
