In Communication, Language and Literacy, Class 12 have been learning about Traditional Tales. This half  term our story has been ‘Hansel and  Gretel’. We have been going to the library every week to read different stories the children have chosen. We have also been going on hunts following the witches trail, picking up giant sweets along the way. Each week we focus on different aspects of our sensory story, whether it was creating purposeful marks using a variety of grips with the mud, or making our witches potions using lots of nice ingredients.

In Mathematics class 12 have been engaging in lots of fun activities with a focus on over and under. We have been going on trails around school going under different sized domed that had lots of really engaging objects for the children to reach for. We have also been fishing. We used sensory fishes and the children had to reach over the tuff tray to put them back into the water.

We have also been working very hard on forming meaningful relationships with the adults around me, through tac-pac by giving consent for each activity.
