Welcome to Blue Class 2024/2025

Michele is our Teacher and Andrea (Mon,Tue,Thur,Fri),Ann, Paula and Steph  are our Teaching Assistants.

We are a class of 6 children learning through the pre- formal pathway.

In Blue Class we follow our own individualised learning outcomes using a holistic and multi sensory approach to learning. Our targets are set in Language and Communication, Cognition, Physical and Sensory and Mental Health and Well Being. We use the MOVE Programme to develop our functional skills in sitting, standing, walking and transitioning between. We are a pre formal class and use the Engagement Model to support our learning and development.

This term our topic is Happily Ever After. We are sharing the story The Wolf's Tale. An alternative to Little Red Riding Hood. We are re telling using lots of different sensory props and sharing the story under our dark canopy in the classroom.

SPRING TERM 2024

Or Sensory stories this term are Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and What makes a Rainbow.

So far we have enjoyed the story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The children have really immersed themselves in eating chocolate, exploring snow and listening to the songs. They have had a whole class story and also an individual experience of the story using different props to help them engage in the props they really enjoy.

THE MOVE PROGRAMME

Spring Term 2023

Our topic this term is Around the World in 80 days.

Our first story explores different environments around the world. Our story was about a magic carpet that took us around the world. We travelled to a dry hot dessert then cold and icy ,windy and raining, foggy and thundery.

The children used a switch to activate a fan to experience wind, ice cubes to feel, sand ,water spray, hot water ,net over their face to experience foggy. They banged on a drum to make the sound of thunder. All the children were eager to have a multi sensory story experience.
