Useful information

Our PE lessons are on a Thursday afternoon. Please can all children come to school in their PE kit. We are not going swimming this half term, but next half term we will be going on a Wednesday.  All children will need a swimming costume and a towel. If appropriate, they will also need a swim nappy/ swimming incontinence aid.

We love going outside. As the weather is getting colder please can all children have a named hat and coat in school. Please ensure any uniform, lunchboxes, water bottles are named named. 

If you have any questions, please do email or leave a note in their home school diary or message on seesaw. 

Thanks for all the support,

Spring 1- Enterprise.

Another busy term in Park Class. This term we have learnt all about enterprise. The children have been learning all about different shops and what they sell. We have made shopping lists for different shops, express what we can see a shop selling and we have even made some shops! We learnt about what shops look like now and what they looked like in the past. The children even ended the term visiting a supermarket to visit a shop to buy a snack and a drink! 
 

We have spent time working on our IEP targets and learning about time in maths. We learnt about daytime and night time and built up to reading O’clock! The children have been up to forest school and have roasted marshmallows and made pop corn. We are going swimming again next half term. 
 

We hope everyone has a lovely week holiday and we look forward to starting out next topic - Let’s grow! 

Autumn 2 - Festivals! 
 

We have had a very busy term in Park class learning all about different festivals. We have learnt about Halloween, Diwali, Bonfire Night and of course Christmas! The children have enjoyed the different sessions linking to these and learning about ways we all celebrate.  We have made Diwali cards and patterns. We have also learnt about the Christmas story and sent letters to Father Christmas. 
 

We practiced for our parts in the Nativity, saw Father Christmas and even had a Christmas part or two! 
 

We have also been very busy working towards our IEP targets and the children have made lovely progress with these. We have developed our communication skills and using a varsity of different communication tools worked on expressing our needs and wants. This term we have also been up to forest school and swimming each week! Well done for a super term Park class! 
 

Autumn 1 Week 2 and 3

We have had a lovely first few weeks back in Park Class, we have spent lots of time getting to know our new friends and our class routines. 

We have been learning all about ourselves what we like and how to be a good friend. The children have listened to the stories Meesha Makes a Friend and a Snail and a Whale. We have made lots of friendship chains and thought about how we can be kind to others. 

The children have been using communication boards to support them with asking for their needs and wants. We have had a big focus on turn taking and the children are using and enjoying waiting their turn for various activities. 

We celebrated British Values Day, we made our own Island. the children chose what they would like, we had lots of islands with toy shops and Aldi! We also made short bread and painted the UK flag in the afternoon. 

We have also been up to forest school and tired to hunt for some Autumn Items, we then made a Acorn in our topic class. 

We are looking forward to next week, we will be continuing to look at the story - The Snail and the Whale. 

Thanks, 

Park Class
