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, Alisha, Niamh, Lucy and Amy. We hope you have had a wonderful break and are ready for Spring 1!
This term, our class theme will be 'Pirates’ and our focus text is 'The Pirates are coming!' By John Condon.
Our pupils have oppurtunties to 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
Our Coastal learners will be provided with oppurutunities to enage in a range actvities to support their development of skills such as anticipation, participation, communication of preferences, intentional choices and making requests.
Pupils on our Countryside and City pathways will enjoy developing their skills in communication, social interactions, number, understanding of the world, independence and self-help skills. They will be provided with opportunities to master these skills and transfer them to different contexts through learning centred around our theme ‘Pirates'.
In addition, we have several exciting activities planned across the term, including: light room sessions, outdoor learning, access to the magic carpet and VR headsets as well as educational visits. Our PE sessions will take place on Monday afternoon. Please see our class timetable for more information.
Each day the pupils participate in streamed phonics sessions to support their independent reading. You can access some books for your child at Online Educational Resources | Twinkl Go! - Twinkl
