Exploring using Google Earth

  By

Howes Hoose pupils have been having great fun using the website Google Earth. We have been learning about our homes as part of our ASDAN work so thought we’d share with each other what our homes look like. We used street view to navigate up and down our streets. Lots of us were very excited when we saw our homes. One pupil wanted to find the horses in the field nearby to his home so started taking us on adventure up the street! The next day we were shown two pictures of different homes and identified which was ours – we all did really well in this task!

Gear Up! P.E.

We are promoting to wear P.E kit for physical well being classes. We encourage our pupils to change into their Sport wear which also helps our students through transitions and enables them to fully take advantage of the play/physical exercises.

Introducing – Bucket Time! Room 9

  By

In Room 9, we have been enjoying the wonders of Bucket Times. For some us, our Bucket Time experiences over the last few weeks have been our first experience of Bucket Time. We have been demonstrating our attention skills during Stage 1 of Bucket Time, and have been drawn to the different activities that have intrigued our sensory needs – we have enjoyed watching and listening to the different adult led activities in class.

We have been engaging so well in Stage 1 of Bucket Time that we have already progressed on to Stage 2 – we have been so focussed on the longer activities, and use our preferred communication to ask for “more!”.

We can’t wait to get our own hands messy, as well as demonstrate our turn taking skills, after the October holidays when we start Stage 3!

Hello everyone from Room 11!

We have been working on our ‘SuperTato’ Literacy. All the learners had great fun with sensory experiences such as mashing potatoes, cucumber eye masks and forehead masks for some and jelly art. This week we are making different coloured ice art.
