Here are some happy moments from the week! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ“ธ

We loved our community visit on Monday, we visited Tesco and went shopping to collect items for our cooking sessions this week. We loved sharing this experience together, we looked at lots of items and identified things on our shopping list. We also payed at the till and we practiced our maths skills of knowing how many items we needed for 11 pupils and how much items cost. We payed at the till and helped to bag our items. This was an amazing opportunity for us to develop important life skills.

We had some very special visitors Jenny and Aimee on Wednesday from the National Literacy Trust. We explored some exciting new books and talked about our favourite books and how reading made us feel using verbalisations and ALD boards. We also discussed and drew our dream library! We had some amazing ideas and it was lovely to see our creativity and imagination come to life. It was clear to see a passion for reading in Deer Class! ๐Ÿ“šโญ๏ธ

We enjoyed cooking this week! We learnt about the importance of hygiene in the kitchen and we washed our hands following adult modelling and instructions. We all shared the resources and participated in turn-taking which was amazing to see. We also engaged in measuring to develop our maths skills. I think we have some future careers in cooking in Deer Class! ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฐ

We enjoyed a Pumpkin Party at the end of the week to celebrate our hard work and all our achievements this half-term.
