Welcome to Ash Class
We hope you had a wonderful half term and are ready to learn!
Our topic this term is "This Is Me!"
Our English text focus this term is 'Wonder' by R.J Palacio.
We have a wonderful group of 11 pupils within our classroom. In Ash class, we enjoy learning and having lots of fun in Key Stage 3. Some of our favourite activities include: Forest School, exploring the immersive spaces with sensory stories, science experiments and many more!
THE STAFF IN OUR ROOM ARE:
- Emma (Class Teacher: Tue-Fri)
- Phillipa (HLTA: M, Wed pm, Thurs am)

During our work sessions we encounter fun, exciting and fulfilling learning activities, broadening their skills and developing knowledge, at a pace appropriate to them. We have high expectations for all pupils within Ash class, engaging their interests through a range of fun, sensory and practical activities, alongside formal written tasks.
This term our Coastal Learners are looking forward to developing their knowledge and skills across a range of topics, including My Communication, My Play and Leisure, My Problem and Thinking skills amongst others. The pupils enjoy accessing a rich curriculum, with a heavy focus on sensory input and practical work activities. Sessions will focus on the development of their communication skills, which help our pupils work on their ability to make requests, following orders and encountering real life situations. Our Countryside learners will be accessing a blended approach to their learning. The pupils will be accessing a thematic curriculum, linking closely to our topic for the term,
We really enjoyed exploring the snow in Forest School today! We made a snowman!
