23 – 27 October

Stage 1 of ‘bucket time’ (or ‘attention autism’) is to look at three items that come out of the bucket. Stage 2 is to watch something ‘wow’! Stage 3 is when each person takes a turn at a fun activity!

One of the Stage 3 activities this week in bucket time was to throw a sticky spider at a web!

We decorated ginger biscuits using green icing sugar and sprinkles!

Our daily good morning song by singing hands!

Please note that after half term, swimming will be on Thursday afternoons. Please remember swimming kits on this day.

Happy half term!

16th – 20th October

We celebrated the harvest this week. Today, we painted using vegetables! We dipped the vegetables into paint and dabbed or spread them onto our sheet of paper. We also tried some fresh bread with butter and jam at the end of the day as part of our harvest celebration. Thank you so much for the donations that have been brought in!

We have been so fortunate with the weather on Tuesday afternoons! In forest school, we have seen insects, made some music, read a book and made some dens.

Our sign of the week next week is: physiotherapist.

In class, we listen to the Pantosaurus song from the NSPCC to spread the message about how to keep ourselves safe.

Notices: just a little reminder to complete the ‘consents’ section on Arbor, for this new academic year. Also, library books were sent out last week – they are to read at home and can be returned when you’re ready to have them changed.

Have a lovely weekend! Grasshoppers

9 – 13th October

We have been making shortbread! We mixed the ingredients together. Then we took turns to cut out the dough into people!

We experienced lots of sensory tuff trays including water, jelly and spaghetti!

We are learning the makaton signs for nurse and doctor 😊
