Welcome to Class 2!
Our Spring topic is 'Raining Rainbows' and our Summer topic is 'Summer Celebrations'.
We will be exploring different environments, developing our communication skills and learning how we can express ourselves in a range of different ways. As part of our curriculum we will be doing lots of outdoor learning and play, whatever the weather! To support this, please could you send in the following for your child, with each item clearly marked with their name. We encourage the children to be as independent as possible and it is very helpful to have all items of clothing clearly labelled with names to ensure that personal belongings do not get lost!
Throughout the year and as the seasons change, we will be asking for:
• A full change of clothes, including underwear and socks
• Shorts and a t-shirt (suitable for PE or water play activities)
• Sun hat or cap
• Sun cream
• Towel
• Waterproof trousers
• Waterproof coat
• Wellies
We have lots of access to learning provisions outside of the classroom. These include:
-
Sensory room on Monday.
-
Ball pool on Tuesday.
-
PE on Wednesday.
-
Sensory Zone on Thursday.
-
Sensory courtyard on Friday.
Ambitious capable learners who can engage with a wide range of activities. We are learning that we can try new things and persevere with activities that we find difficult or challenging. We are learning to celebrate our achievements and take opportunities that are offered to us.
Ethically informed citizens who can engage and interact with others. We are developing our tolerances of our new classmates and learning that it is ok to have different opinions. We are developing turn taking and sharing skills with others. We are learning about how the choices we make can impact on ourselves and those around us.
Enterprising and creative contributors who can express ourselves in different ways. We are learning about different ways to express ourselves, including gestures, signs, photos, symbols and spoken words. We are learning that we can communicate in a range of contexts.
Healthy confident individuals who are developing independence and awareness with our personal care and self-help skills. We are learning that we can come to adults for comfort, reassurance or to ask for help. We are learning about our emotions and what we can do when we feel happy, sad or frustrated. We are learning how to take care of our bodies and we are learning to process what our bodies are telling us.
