WELCOME TO MAPLE CLASS

Welcome to Summer Term in Maple Class!

Our topic this term is Patterns.

In Maple, we enjoy exploring and having lots of fun with our learning through carefully planned attention autism engagement activities, sensory exploration and discovery. 

Our English focus story is "Pitter Pattern" by Joyce Hasselberth.

Pitter Pattern by Joyce Hesselberth. || Read Aloud book.

THE STAFF IN OUR ROOM ARE:

• Katie - Teacher
• Sharon
• Alicia 
• Lorna (M-W)

This term our Coastal Learners are looking forward to…

Continuing to develop our early communication skills to support us to express our wants and needs, and using our thinking and problem solving skills in our maths sessions, as well as focussing on our independence skills. We will also build on our anticipation skills during attention autism sessions and show increased engagement in a variety of fun and exciting activities. 

Our Countryside learners will be…

Continuing to develop our communication systems so we can share our wants, needs and thoughts with others. Furthermore, we will also begin to recognise letters in our environment. We will also continue to develop our knowledge of phonics to support our reading skills using Twinkl phonics scheme. In our Maths sessions, we will be focusing on addition and subtraction and multiplication and division. 

Please interact with the story and share your thoughts! We would love to hear if online reading and tasks are successful at home!

IN ADDITION WE HAVE SESSIONS PLANNED FOR:

• Immersive Space 
• Light room
