Welcome to Module 1
This module, we will spend time settling into our new routines and timetables, getting to know one another, and making the most of our wonderful resources.
In our IB sessions, we will be exploring the world around us in a multi-sensory, engaging, and accessible way. Together, we will learn about a range of kind and caring people from the past, including Florence Nightingale. We will also have opportunities to take part in and celebrate special events, such as Harvest.
In Sensology, our theme is 'Emergency Services'. Pupils will have the opportunity to track lights to represent a police search, listen to ambulance sirens, and explore bandages and water spray to represent a fire hose.
Music sessions will give us the chance to use and explore the Sound Beam, and we will also enjoy working and playing collaboratively with other classes during shared sessions, including story, playtimes and participating in celebration assemblies.
Our activity schedule for this module is:
Monday - Library, Forest School and Music
Tuesday - Interactive Room
Wednesday - Rebound Therapy and Interactive Room
Thursday - Cooking, Aqua Learn and Inquiry Learning
Friday - Inquiry Learning and Aqua Learn
