This week we have been exploring the new layout of Violet Class and getting to know each other. We are adjusting well to our new routines and building relationships with our new staff.

It has been such a lovely first week!

This week we have had so much fun as it has been life skills week! We have explored being barbers, builders, window cleaners and even lollipop people! We have also started our new topic ‘Zoom, Whoosh, Bang!’ and have enjoyed a sensory story of ‘Naughty Bus’.

This week we have continued our topic ‘Zoom, Whoosh, Bang!’ and have taken the Naughty Bus on our own sensory adventures to make our own stories. The Naughty Bus explored flour, pasta, soapy water and beans! We are exploring Victorians in History and have looked at toys from the past. We made our own cup and ball and even practised rolling a hoop down the corridor with a stick! In Art we are exploring optical illusions and are focussing on Bridget Riley’s work. We used our ICT skills to practice making lines on the board then using the ‘fill’ tool to colour in the areas! We finished the week with a phonics afternoon in which our parents came in to see what phonics looks like. It was so wonderful to welcome you all into Violet Class!

This week we have continued to explore numbers in Maths, counting people onto the bus and have also been on a shape hunt in class! We have been practising brushing our teeth as part of our personal care session and particularly enjoyed brushing the big teeth! In PSED, we have been recognising emotions and matching them to pictures.
