It has been lovely to have everyone back to school after the Christmas break! We have been up to lots of different activities ranging from Sensory Story, Drumming, Music, Rebound Therapy and Communication Through Touch. Communication has been amazing for all our children, it’s been lovely to see lots of intensive interactions. It’s been a very busy week for us all.

Week 2 has been about life skills and Blue Class worked on cooking and baking skills, we explored lots of different ingredients and used switch buttons to operate whisks and blenders. We made different flavoured cupcakes and two soups. We have also done wheelchair dancing, winter sensory story, drumming and lots of communication.

This week blue class have enjoyed our winter sensory story all about the artic, wheelchair dancing, drumming and Lightroom. On Thursday we had a switch and communication afternoon and showed off our skills to some of our parents. To make physio fun we used a mixture of messy play items including gloop and ice. Friday was finished off with a light and dark afternoon using light up switch toys, torch’s and story massage.

Monday morning started with a messy activity, Art. We created our very own Aurora Light’s scene which links to our artic sensory story. Drumming was fantastic as many of the children independently played the drum to our winter themed song.

Blue class have been working hard during physio sessions showing willingness and determination, nothing is stopping us. Throughout the week everyone has taken part in messy play which had us exploring wet and dry ingredients to see what we preferred, musical communication had us all engaged especially when the balloons came out, switch toys which helped us progress our press and hold skills and soft play for social games and movement. Blue class have also done their regular winter wheelchair dancing, polar adventure sensory story, story massage and light and dark session.

As half term comes to an end this week Blue class have been exploring a variety of activities that link to Chinese New Year, we went shopping for our sensory cooking ingredients, decorated our own Chinese dragon and made Honey and Ginger Stir-fry. For one last time we visited the artic in our Polar Night Adventure sensory story. We continued to celebrate Chinese New Year with a themed wheelchair dancing and dance massage. As it is Mental Health Week we touched on this during sensology which was about feeling loved and the colour pink. Musical communication was so much fun as we got to make lots of noise and share music with friends.
