WELCOME TO Holly CLASS
Welcome to Holly Class! We are a KS1 class of 11 pupils. Across the school week, the Holly class team members are: Rachel, Ed, Alicia, Niamh, Lucy and Amy. We hope you have had a wonderful summer holiday and are ready for the Autumn term!
This term, our class theme will be ‘Traditional Tales’. Our pupils will encounter a range of tales during Autumn 1. Our focus text will be ‘Little Red Riding Hood’.
Our pupils learn through a variety of creative ways, with a focus on fun! To promote and support communication skills, we adopt a total communication approach in the classroom including the use of Makaton, symbols and objects of reference.
Within Holly class, our pupils will have the opportunity to explore a range of topics and learning experiences. Across the school week, there will be opportunities to engage in sessions in the sensory room, access to VR headsets, Attention Autism sessions and other interactive activities.
There will be a further focus on personal development through communication, social interaction, functional literacy, numeracy, independence and self-help skills. In addition, we have several exciting activities planned across the term, including: light room and dark room sessions and access to the magic carpet. Our PE sessions will take place on Monday afternoon. Our Forest school sessions will take place on Tuesday mornings. Please see our class timetable for more information.
