Emma’s Building Autumn Term 2023

We hope you have all had a great summer. We are looking forward to seeing the children again and to supporting them with their learning.

The children will have 1:1 sessions in a morning in order to enhance their learning in Maths and English. We will incorporate targets from their Individual Support Plans into the children’s learning. Sensory activities will be followed for some children.

Every Tuesday we will be completing life skills activities. We will be cooking, with an exciting range of dishes using different skills, tastes and textures linked to key calendar dates for example using apples from our school orchard, bread making linked to harvest time, poppy biscuit making linked to remembrance day.

Weekly PE is an opportunity to join our class peers for a variety of activities. Outdoor kit will be needed-joggers and sweatshirt as some work will be completed outside.

Some of the children will be supported to access their afternoon learning with their class peers. In year one and two this will be: History- Why are explorers significant? Geography- Maps old and new How did explorers navigate? Science- Materials, identifying materials and their properties.

In years 3 and 4 afternoon learning will be: History Anglo Saxons and Vikings – Why did they invade England, Geography- Scandinavian coast line features, Science- Solids, Liquids and Gases-changes in state

Year 5 and 6 History will discover how the Lake District has changed through time. Geography -Lake District Mountains and Mapping. Science- Earth and Space-Movement of planets and moons within our solar system.

Internet safety is paramount and will be discussed regularly with the children to support keeping them safe at home and school. Computing will continue with activities using paint programmes, programming bee-bot toys and using word for children in reception to Year 2 with children in Years 3-6 supported to follow their class targets and activities.
