Maths Footstep 3:-They may respond to options and choices with actions or gestures [for example, pointing to or giving one object rather than another] Footstep 3:-They actively explore objects and events for more extended periods [for example, manipulating objects in piles, groups or stacks Footstep 3:-Pupil will explore objects in increasingly complex ways, using more than one action. Children will be exploring objects through continuous provision. The children will be counting objects during focussed sessions and identifying objects in relation to numbers. The children will be exploring shapes through continuous provision and making things with shapes. Literacy (Reading)Footstep 2:-Pupil engages in sustained visual attention to people, events and objects for short periods of time. (Reading) Footstep 2:- Pupil may knock over an object with intent. Reading Footstep 2:- Pupil may use a raking or spreading action withpaint or sensory text materials. To have sensology sessions linked to weekly exploring topic:- Week1 -Underwater Week 2-Desert Week 3-Arctic Week 4-Beach Week 5-At the farm Week 6-In the sky Week 7-Jungle (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 through sensology sessions.,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. 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- Making toast Week 2-Making toasties Week 3-Making toasties Week 4-Making a packed lunch for the beach Week 5-Making Pizzas(using meat from the farm) Week 6-Making Pizzas |

Use makaton and speech for daily songs progressing on communication by encouraging the children to initiate themselves. Have communication boards around classroom for spontaneous communication. 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. To continue with own song choice. (Launchpad for literacy). Continue with weekly charanga sessions. Outdoor Learning Finding objects linked to weekly theme outdoors.
