SherbrookExplorer 2 Class
Welcome to Explorer 2. We are a mixed year 1, 2 and 3 complex needs class. Tania is the class teacher. The teaching assistant is Kylie. The ISAs are Zoe and Caz.
Autumn 2:
Our topic this half term has been “Starry Night” We have been learning all about the world around us including night time animals and space. We have also been engaging in lots of multisensory activities surrounding Christmas. Explorer 2 have been developing our knowledge of colour in maths and in English we have been sharing books, developing our fine motor skills and had lots of mark making opportunities.
We have had lots of different sensory art activities on offer and the children have had the opportunity to decorate biscuits, taste different fruits and vegetables and made their own sandwiches during our cookery sessions.
Explorer 2 have again enjoyed weekly sessions at forest school exploring mud, water and extending their gross motor skills on balancing equipment.
We have had lots of fun in weekly music sessions and particularly enjoyed parachute fun. All children have engaged in weekly attention autism sessions and even moved on to stage 2.
All children have had weekly rebound therapy or OT sessions to support physical development and self-regulation.
Spring 1:
The topic next half term – Lets Get Physical. We will be exploring our fine and gross motor skills and developing our co-ordination with lots of sensory circuits and outdoor learning opportunities.
