Special Events in Room 15
Room 15 have been learning about time by exploring when special events occur as part of our ASDAN (mathematics) work recently. We used symbol information to work out when different special events take place, including Fireworks night, St Andrews Day and Christmas, as well our class birthdays, and added this information to our calendars.
We’re now extending this with our ASDAN ICT project to use ICT to prepare for a special occasion – we’re filming our Christmas video! (Too early?!?)
We voted for our preferred song choice on the interactive board and we’re exploring different ways to share communication relating to the song – through signing, using our AAC, through our actions – and recording this together. We’ll also be using technology in our video, switching on Christmas lights and using a camera.
We’ve had lots of fun going through our Christmas resources too, lots of fabulous sensory opportunities with tinsel, hats, baubles and more!
