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 2:

This half term we have been very busy and have been working very hard. 

This half term our topic has been ‘A Winter’s Tale.’ We have enjoyed exploring many activities including exploring snow, animals in the snow and their habitats. We have looked at the books The Snowman by Raymond Briggs, Squirrels Snowman and Stick Man, The Present both by Julia  Donaldson and There’s a Snowman in your Book by Tom Fletcher. 

During English this half term we have been focusing on Greetings and Letters then moved onto Christmas and Winter Traditions.  

In maths we have been looking at Colour. We have worked on colour matching and colour sorting. We have used lego, stickle bricks, cubes, blocks and compare bears to support this.  

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

We had a very successful trip to Winter Wonderland at the Snowdome in Tamworth.
