This week in Holly class.....

This week in geometry and data handling, the children have been busy exploring shapes and colours through lots of hands‑on, sensory activities. They’ve focused mainly on squares and circles, feeling them, building with them, and spotting them in their environment. Some learners have been practising matching shapes, while others have shown they can find the correct shape when it’s named by an adult, which has been wonderful to see.

In data handling, the class has been exploring colour sorting, working with bright objects in red, green, yellow, and blue. Learners have been grouping items by colour or recognising different colours in the environment. It’s been a great week of playful maths, full of curiosity and discovery.

This week in Elm class...

This week Elm have visited the local library, ASDA and the cafe. We are working on establishing friendships and positive relationships with our friends and staff at Doubletrees. This week we practised making choices, communicating our preferences and completing a shopping list. Thank you to all our families who support us on trips either by attending or sending in money to spend at the cafe. 

This week in Willow class...

In Willow class we have been trying to take advantage of the nicer weather by going outside more, we have been exploring capacity and pouring activities outside using different containers and water. The learners were able to select the container that they wanted to use and then have a go at pouring, the adults supported by also introducing some key vocabulary of full and empty. They learners showed lots of engagement exploring the different containers and filling them up with water and emptying them in different ways.
