Anaconda Class:
Anaconda Class follows the National Curriculum which is differentiated individually for each child. The children have their own workstation and follow the TEACCH approach. The children have their own workboxes with activities appropriate to their needs and targets. The children will access whole class (7) groups, small groups and individual teaching sessions.
CORONAVIRUS PRECAUTIONS
Welcome back everyone!
As with many areas of life currently, there are a few considerations to bear in mind while coronavirus restrictions are still in place.
Classes are 'bubbled', meaning, at first, at least, we will not be mixing with other classes, nor will many of our normal weekly activities be available. These include all swimming activities, all off-site activities, and soft play.
Children will remain in the classroom more than they usually would, including at dinner time, though we hope to reintegrate all typical activities as soon as possible.
Other important pieces of information are listed below:-
- The drop off time for children in South America is 8:50, and pick up is 3:00. Please stick to these times as closely as possible, to avoid mixing with parents and children from other bubbles.
- School uniforms are to be worn (though they no-longer need daily washing).
- Children should have their hands washed before coming to school in the morning. Regular hand washing will take place during the school day.
- In the event of a positive coronavirus test within our bubble, all children and staff will be sent home to self-isolate as per the government guidelines. If this happens I will phone you to consult on how you feel I could best help you support your child's learning from home, and provide whatever assistance I can (assuming of course it isn't me that tests positive, and I am well enough to do so). In the case that it is myself who is ill, another member of staff will get in touch to provide support and ideas, and consult on how we can help you from home.
If you have any questions, or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to get in touch,
Nicola x
Anaconda Class joined a Zoom class with 10 authors. They really enjoyed listening to the stories and joining in with the different activities set by the authors.
