In Yellow Class this week we introduced Numicon in our classroom through our Maths lessons. We have started by just introducing the Numicon and the children making patterns. We will continue using this in our Maths lessons every week this half term, eventually we will look at one to one correspondents, linking them to their numbers on a number line 😊
Despite the weather we have enjoyed playing outside this week, playing with the transport vehicles and magnetic shapes!

It has been another busy week for the children in the Rainbow Unit this week. We have seen lots of engagement and smiles as we have completed some Christmas crafts and had a little go of wearing some of the Christmas accessories. The children looked fabulous with their Christmas jumpers on today 😊
Next Wednesday is our trip to CAFT. We are very excited for this and know it will be a fantastic day for the children. Please can you ensure you send the children in with a warm, waterproof coat to attend on this day. If you haven’t already done so then could you please send in some waterproofs if you are able to, as we are expecting it to be muddy. We do have some spares if there are any problems.
We hope you all have a lovely weekend!

This week in Yellow Class, it has been a busy one!
The children have been exploring independently lots of activities in the classroom, this is lovely to see as the children are taking ownership of their “choose time” and finding activities they enjoy which are they are staying engaged in for a longer period of time.
This weeks Maths activity was a shape sorting activity, feeding the shapes into the correct holes- children enjoyed this very much!
It has been a cold week this week and the children are tolerating us dressing them in warmer clothing to embrace the playground at lunchtime.
We have been using the interactive screen to play online games, and inviting the children to take part if they choose to.
We hope you have a lovely weekend!

In the Yellow Class, we have had a very busy week! Sensory Song is now a consistent lesson in our room, we have built up to this and all children now come to the table and stay willingly for most of the session, some staying for all and some needing support, but we have come a long way!
We have also introduced a new colour sorting activity after our maths lesson, once again the children have LOVED this.
We have taken part in some painting and creative activities too!

This week in Green Class we have fully introduced our ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ sensory story. All of the children have shown such interest and engagement in the story and sensory experiences. The sensory aspects include things like splashing in water, pressing their fingers in slime, touching ice and feeling the teddy bear, all lead by an adult. The children will learn and associate different sensory experiences with parts of the book. All of the children have enjoyed this and shown so much anticipation for the next part of the story. This week we have also been painting which they enjoying more and more every time. We have been doing dough disco this week too which the children always love.
We hope you have a lovely weekend!

This week in Yellow Class the children have enjoyed taking part in sensory song. The children are becoming more engaged every time we do this! Well done Yellow Class! 🎉
We have also been concentrating on our maths lessons this week. The children enjoyed listening to our maths nursery rhyme (5 little frogs 🐸). This is always followed by a maths activity. We have used a cause and effect spiral tower where the children had to push the ball through the hole and watch it go down. All the children enjoyed this activity!! 😄

This week in Green class, we have been continuing with our shape theme and colour sorting activities. All of the children are becoming much more confident with this and are showing increased amount of engagement with these activities. We have slowly been introducing new colours and shapes for the children to recognise and some of them are beginning to be able to do this.
This week, we have also done some mark making using water colours. Lots of the children enjoyed exploring the paint using the paint brush or their fingers. Some children needed a little bit more reassurance and allowed an adult to use hand over hand support to complete this 😊
We hope you have a lovely weekend!

We are so proud of all the children in Green class. This week, we have been continuing to practice our pencil control and we have seen all children take part in this with less adult support than in previous weeks.
We have also introduced some fine motor activities, including a coloured peg board. It has been great to see some of the children copying the picture cards and others creating their own patterns.
We have been practicing our turn taking whilst completing our activities this week and some of the children are showing patience and fleeting eye contact whilst waiting for their turn which is great to see.
We hope you have a lovely weekend!

The children have been improving at following objects of reference for these activities and have also been improving at sitting at the table for a prolonged period of time for both snack and Bucket Therapy.
This week we introduced bubbles into our bucket session, all the children enjoyed these very much and showed sustained looking and listening. We used key words such as “more” and “finished”.

This week has been super busy for the children in Green class. This week we have been sorting objects by colour and shape. The children are becoming much more confident in this. The children have also been taking part in sensory song. This is where we listen to a song and a sensory experience such as bubbles or blowing a balloon up are led by an adult. This is working on anticipation skills as over time, the children will associate the different songs with that sensory experience. All of the children have loved this and have shown great engagement in this session which we are very proud of them for.
We hope you have a lovely weekend!

In the yellow class this week, we introduced a new friend into our class, Gabriella! 😊
We have had another busy week exploring activities, staff have been engaging with the children whilst doing so. It’s so nice that we have all already built great relationships and the children are tolerating us in their space more 😊
This week we have introduced Bucket Therapy into our timetable, this is a group activity that enhances the children’s anticipation skills, we are so proud of the children for coming and sitting at the table together for this.
We hope you all have a lovely weekend!
