Maths Footstep 2:-Pupil can reach for or look at objects as they are counted. Footstep 2:-Pupil will continue an action or interaction with an adult by repeating, Footstep 3:-Point at items in sequence along a number line-coordinating pointing with associated word sounds Footstep 3:-Pupil will explore objects in increasingly complex way, using more than one action. Children exploring patterns of colour, Children counting coloured objects, exploring colour through different areas of school sound and light/hedgehog hideaway. Adults initiate actions for children to repeat. Exploring various objects and counting through continuous provision. eg How many yellow? Literacy (Reading)Footstep 2:-Pupil uses more purposeful vocalisations and non-verbal language including gesture and body language (Reading)Footstep 2:-Pupil begins to vocalise deliberately as a means of interpersonal communication (Reading)Footstep2:-Pupil experiments with voice sounds, e.g. pitch, volume, vowel sounds, nasal sounds, etc. (Reading)Footstep 2:-Pupil releases object by intentionally opening hand to drop it. Explore sensory stories:- (Week 1 and 2) Elmer and the rainbow (Week 3 and 4) Pink for me and the green storybook (Week 5 and 6) The rainbow fish. Continuous provision linked to a fortnightly sensory story with opportunities for the children to explore. Children have a makaton sign of the week linked to the weekly colour theme. (Writing)Pupils use hand and finger movements to explore objects. (Writing)Pupil throws objects intentionally and watches them fall to the ground. (Writing)Pupil holds an object and uses it to explore surfaces using different movements. Exploring the sensory stories,Attention everyone sessions linked to the stories, PE sessions involving objects from the story and gross motor movement then followed up in the classroom with fine motor movements. Opportunities for touch and feel throughout stories. (Continued from last half term as engagement levels have increased and the children are remaining focussed for longer periods so we will continue working on these targets for another term) Step 3 K&U-Pupil carries out simple verbal instructions Step 3 K& U-Pupil can name simple objects Cookery sessions following instructions verbally and using PEC’s and communication boards. Week 1- Rainbow fairy cakes ( following instructions, mixing,sharing the mixture) Week 2-Rainbow fairy cakes (following instructions,mixing,sharing the mixture,following a recipe with support) Week 3-Rainbow cookies (following instructions,mixing,sharing the mixture,following a recipe with support,rolling) Week 4-Rainbow cookies (following instructions,mixing,sharing the mixture,following a recipe with support,rolling, timer watching) Week 5- Exploring and tasting vegetables (chopping,smelling,tasting) Week 6-Vegetable soup exploring and tasting vegetables and then cooking them (chopping,smelling,tasting,cooking) |

Using makaton and visual aids to join in with sensory story- Week 1-Elmer and the rainbow Week 2-Elmer and the rainbow Week 3- Pink for me Week 4-The green storybook Week 5-The rainbow fish Week 6-The rainbow fish Footstep 3:-Pupil may use a small number of functional signs. Footstep 3:-Pupils begin to look towards people To continue to use the communication boards during continuous provision. Begin to use colourful semantics. |
Use makaton and speech for daily songs progressing on communication by encouraging the children to initiate themselves. Indicating song choice(launchpad for literacy) Responding to early interaction rhymes (launchpad for literacy) Indicating wanting more during songs and rhymes and eventually indicating which ones. (Launchpad for literacy). Continue with weekly charanga sessions. Outdoor Learning Finding objects linked to weekly coloour theme outdoors. Using nature resources (leaves/plants/flowers) to make pictures. Beginning to access the garden area to appropriately use tools and equipment. |

Elmer and the rainbow
Colour Focus - Red
This week we have focussed on the colour red. We have had the sensory story Elmer and the rainbow and enjoyed exploring the animals. In our continous provission this week we explored red rice, we used tin foil and made marks, we built with a tower.
We have enjoyed sorting different colours in maths focussing on things we find that are red.
We have continued with our sensory dance this half term.
We have made red hand prints to start our rainbow.
We have began doing matman on a Thursday to help with our fine motor skills and learn all about parts of the body.
In cookery we made rainbow cakes.
Yellow
This week we visited Hetton Lyons Park and enjoyed finding all of the yellow equipment that was at the park. We had lots of fun in the hedgehog hideaway doing intensive interaction with our favourite adults. We started our Yellow sensology session this week and tasted lemons, had a smell of daffodils, touched the eggs and sand. It was lots of fun and we sat really well. We continued our charanga music session and we enjoyed taking it in turns to play the drum from unit 9. Next week we are going to explore unit 10-marching. We had fun in the hall for PE running round an obstacle course. We had attention everyone and made some lovely daffodils.
We finished the week with intensive interaction, relaxation and footspas.
See what yellow things you can find at home this weekend with your child. We would love to receive some pictures when you have found some!
