Explorer 3 Class

Welcome to Explorer 3. We are a Key Stage 2 complex needs class. Tammy is the Teacher. Jo B is the TA. Hayley, Leah and Chloe  are the ISAs.  

Autumn 1:

 This half term we have been settling in to our new classes, getting to know our new peers and adults whilst also learning our daily routines.

This half term our topic has been ‘All about me & Superheroes”. We have enjoyed exploring many activities including exploring our senses and drawing ourselves and our family members using paints. We have also built on our role play skills by pretending to be everyday superheroes such as firefighters, doctors and police officers.

During English this half term we have been focusing on story sequencing and captions. We have developed these skills through a space theme, exploring lots of different books including ‘Look, there’s a rocket’, ‘Whatever next’ and ‘Zoom, Rocket, Zoom!’.

In maths we have been looking at time with the focus on day and night. We have explored many different activities including exploring small world activities and roleplay such as brushing our teeth, putting on pyjamas and getting ready for bed with blankets and pillows.

We have also really enjoyed sessions in the darkroom, white room and soft play. We have continued to work on our communication and regulation skills every day.

Autumn 2:

In Topic we will be looking at Winter Wonderland.

In English we will be looking at Greetings and letters, Christmas & winter traditions.

In Maths our focus will be colour, matching and sorting.
