The Russett School

Hello and welcome to our second half term.

This term in Beech we have lots of great learning oppurtunities and experiences planned.  We are a class of key stage 4 pupils and we will be  following the ‘Moving On’ Equals Curriculum which is designed to support our young people develop skills in Maths, English, ICT alongside Vocational Studies; World Studies and independent living skills.

Pupils will be supported for individual and small group learning in all lessons; identifying what is important to them, what they want to learn. and working hard to increase our independence and self-help skills each day, including communicating choices.

Our work will include:

• Working on poems, newspapers and wiriting about ourselves.
• Maths in the community -  Using maths for functional purposes such as cooking (every Monday): shopping, travel routes/times and money.
• Electricity
• World Studies - festivals.
• Understanding the role of the emergency services and road safety.
• Communicating our opinions, feelings and beliefs
• We will continue to stream daily for phonics.

This half-term, our PE focus is football whiich will take place every Tuesday.  Please can you ensure that your child  has appropriate footwear (trainers) and a change of clothes if they wish.  As the weather starts to change please ensure your chiild has appropriate clothing to access the playground which they will have the opportunity to do multiple times a day...

As the term progresses, we plan to take some visits within the community; the children will be involved in the planning of these and they will have a social story to follow as part of their preparation.. The pupils are currently excitedly planning the Children in Need toy sale.

As always please feel free to contact the staff team via the home school diary or call if you prefer. The pupils work will also be shared regularly via evisense..
