Welcome back everyone! We have had a lovely first two days back at school, exploring our environment and enjoying playing alongside our friends. It has been wonderful to see everybody's smiling faces as we begin the new school year. We are looking forward to lots of fun, learning and new experiences together over the coming months!

We have had another lovely week in Purple Class. This week, we welcomed all the new children starting at our school. We have loved getting to know everyone and are excited for the year ahead. The children have enjoyed exploring their new environment, building relationships with staff, and taking part in lots of messy play and sensory activities. It has been wonderful to see everyone settling in.

This week in Purple Class we have enjoyed reading the story 'The Gruffalo' and exploring lots of activities related to this. Our favourite was making houses for the characters in the story. In the greenhouse we looked in the mirror and painted some self-portraits. Finally, we had our first rebound therapy session.
