Spring Term 2026 |
People who help us/ Wonder VisitOne of our topics this term was learning all about people who help us. In class, we learned about people who help us in the community such as vets, paramedics and police officers. The children explored this through role play, dressing up and adapted learning activities. |

|
As part of this topic, the children went on a school trip to Wonder. They absolutely loved dressing up and being able to explore and be lots of different people who work within the community and even outer space! |

NumeracyNumeracy has been very fun and engaging for the children this term and they have learned about the properties of 2D and 3D shapes and measurement and capacity alongside their key mathematical skills. The children really liked building towers with the 3D shapes and this involved problem-solving skills such as realising that only cones and pyramids could go at the top of the tower. Our sensory capacity sessions were a hit with the children as they enjoyed pouring, emptying and filling containers with glittery water and fruity water and learning key words such as “full” and “empty”. |

Life SkillsAs part of PSHE, we have introduced taking our children to the local shop to buy snacks and resources for our classroom. This is a really good opportunity for children to learn about road safety when crossing the road, becoming familiar with common items found in the household and enhancing their communication and interaction skills when paying for their items. The children are really enjoying this experience. |

Autumn Term 2025 |

Autumn and Halloween
We have had a great first term back in Owls and the children really enjoyed seeing the seasons change and using their creativity and art skills to explore the different materials and objects associated with Autumn.
The children used their 5 senses to explore the smell of pumpkins, feeling the different textures of conkers against their spiky shells, listening to the crunching of leaves outside and seeing the colour changes of the leaves and the trees go bare!
The children loved celebrating Halloween through sensory play. They carved out pumpkins and used conkers to make art.

Outside Play
One of the fundamentals for our children is that they are able to use their gross motor skills and imaginations to explore our outside spaces.
We have so much fun going out in all weathers to use the scooters, bikes and other equipment where children feel free to explore their sensory and physical needs.
We jump in the puddles, explore the plants and play with the outside toys but most of all we enjoy hearing the laughter of the children and watching them enjoy their favourite time of the day.

Christmas
It was a busy time of the year but the children coped with it brilliantly and enjoyed the festive celebrations we had!
The Owls enjoyed their Christmas party and loved the disco lights and bubbles!
Once they had finished, they all sat down to try different snacks and food.
Parents and caregivers were then invited into the classroom for a Christmas sensory story where children took part in helping Mrs Adams tell the Christmas story.
It was lovely to see all of the parents and the children getting excited for Christmas!
