Little Steps, Big Aspirations For All

Welcome to SApphire Class ................

Hello to all the children and parents in Sapphire Class ,this year. 

We hope you all had a fabulous summer holiday and are looking forward to being back to school.

In our class there are 11 children who are supported by Karen and Louise. We also have Jenna and Gillian who will support the children on some days.

Our topic for the half term is ' Are we there yet ?' This is about different forms of transport. We have lots of fun activities for everyone to take part in. 

We will be looking at different story books about transport.

 

For our first week in Sapphire class we have been settling back into school and welcoming new friends who have joined us. 

We enjoyed turn taking activities, we talked about what we had done in the holidays and also drew some pictures. We joined in with Charanga, which is our music lessons this year. We made our own toast using the toaster. We enjoyed going on the Discovery Park playing with our friends. 

 

This  week we have been learning about Harvest time . We listened to our story, The Scarecrows Wedding. We made a shopping list of the things the scarecrows had to buy for the wedding . We looked at combine harvesters and tractors out in the fields collecting the wheat. We made scarecrows. In cookery we made hay bales from marshmallows, rice kripsies, wheatbisks and made circle bales . They went down a treat. We did adding in number and building sentences in literacy.

 

This week we have read The Great Balloon Hullabaloo story talking about Simon going on a hot air balloons to do his mum's shopping. We watched clips of colourful hot air balloons watching them light up and moving across the sky . Children recalled what Simon bought on his shopping list .
We created our own hot air balloon pictures. In the Discovery park we collected leaves for an activity adding and take away leaves that were wet or not good. We talked about 2d and 3 d shapes. This week is Mental Health week and we have played a bingo game in PHSE .
