What a fun exciting week we have had. This week, we enjoyed a fantastic trip to Tweddle Farm, where the children had the opportunity to see lots of different animals. They loved looking at the animals, exploring the farm, and linking the animals to our story, A Squash and a Squeeze. We also enjoyed a snack in the park and had lots of fun playing on the playground equipment. To finish off a wonderful week, we celebrated a special achievement during our Friday celebration assembly. One of our children received the Wonderful Award for their brilliant work and effort over the last few weeks. Well done!

Week Commencing 18th May 2026:

We started the week with a local walk to the shops to explore the colour yellow. The children enjoyed looking for yellow items in the shop and bringing the items back to school. Back in the classroom, we used these items for sensory exploration and learning activities. The children have thoroughly enjoyed all of their physical activities this week. We took part in our weekly rebound session, enjoyed walks in the sunshine, and finished the week with a fantastic swimming session on Friday. These activities helped to develop gross motor skills. We also continued to enjoy our sensory story, Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The children engaged with the story through sensory experiences, exploring different props and textures.

Week Commencing 11th May 2026: 

This week, the children thoroughly enjoyed our sensory story, Goldilocks and the Three Bears. They explored a variety of sensory tuff trays linked to the story and showed great curiosity when investigating different foods and materials. The children communicated their preferences by indicating whether they wanted to smell, taste, or touch the items, developing both their communication and sensory exploration skills.

We also enjoyed a visit to Hartfields Café. We also shared a snack at the Cafe. During snack time, they used their PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) to request their chosen snack and drink. It was wonderful to see them confidently communicating their needs and making choices independently in different environments. Throughout the week, we have spent time engaging in Intensive Interaction activities. The children have enjoyed taking turns, sharing attention and building positive relationships. 

Week Commencing 27th April 2026:

What a busy week, we have had.  We started the week with our weekly rebound session, where the children worked hard on developing their gross motor skills, communication, and interaction skills. Throughout the week, there were lots of opportunities for sensory exploration, helping the children discover new textures, sound and experiences. The children have also been busy developing their fine motor skills through a range of fun activities. They all tried their very best when chopping a variety of fruit and vegetables. We practised important life skills too, with all children washing their hands before preparing food. We enjoyed plenty of creative and hands-on activities, encouraging the children to explore, communicate, and make choices independently.

Week Commencing 20th April 2026:

We have had a lovely first week back after the Easter holidays. On Monday, the children enjoyed their weekly rebound session developing their gross motor skills and working on their targets. Throughout the week, Elephant class has been very busy doing lots of work and activities around our new story, "Three Little Pigs". The children had lots of fun doing different arts and crafts involving the story. We have made our own paper plate pigs and explored different materials resembling the houses in the story. On Wednesday, the school had an outdoor sensory assembly. The children loved exploring the different filled tuff trays, the coloured materials, the bubbles, the balls and playing on the slides and swings.
