Welcome to Leeds Class! We are so happy to be able to share our learning with you this year.
In Leeds Class, we follow the Brook pathway. Our learning is highly differentiated to meet our individual needs, motivations and targets of each child. We enjoy a range of sensory and specialist learning opportunities which connects our learning across different environments. We hope you enjoy looking through our learning!

Welcome back to Module 5 and 6 , we are looking forward to sharing our learning with you this term. Our transdisciplinary theme for this term continues to be 'Who we are.' This module, our central idea is 'The world is full of different cultures', we will be exploring this line of inquiry through our lessons, whether it be listening to music from different cultures, exploring the the tastes, smells and textures from different cultures through cooking activities, or exploring different cultures through our sensory story.
Module 6
Throughout Module 6, we've celebrated the world's diverse cultures, linking it to sensory exploration, practical skills development, and physical activity.
Key Activities:
Exploring Cultures: Students engaged with the central idea of "the world is full of cultures" through various activities. This included exploring the sensory story "The Snail and the Whale" and using different coloured resources each week. These activities also connected to their ASDAN unit on exploring food through the senses.
Gardening and Science: Students learned about gardening basics in horticulture, including necessary resources and planting seeds. In science, inspired by the story "Morris the Magpie," they investigated recyclable materials.
Physical Development: Students continued to work hard on achieving their individual physical targets through rebound therapy, aqualearn sessions, and visits to soft play room.

PMLD Activity Day 2024
On Tuesday, July 7th, PMLD classes across the Milestone community came together for a fun-filled day of activities. Students and their parents enjoyed a variety of sensory, communication (ECT), and physical activities that explored the theme of "Who We Are" from the IB Transdisciplinary Theme. Through these activities, students were encouraged to reflect on their likes and dislikes, fostering a celebration of equality and diversity within the Milestone community.
Each PMLD class team thoughtfully designed activities that engaged students and families, creating a truly collaborative and inclusive environment.
Our amazing PE Lead, Steve, led a fantastic session of rebound therapy, ball skills development, and various other sports activities, keeping everyone energized and engaged.
Adding to the positive atmosphere, students from Milestone@Wilmington volunteered their time to participate in the event. They interacted wonderfully with the younger students and their families, providing enthusiastic support and fostering a truly inclusive environment.
The students and parents had a great time trying out all the activities
Community participation

We really enjoyed getting out and getting to enjoy our local environment. Some of us who are able to also got to sample the local fish and chip shop as our lunch!

We have worked hard during module 4. We have continued to work on our ASDAN qualifications, ILP's and Provision Plan targets. During our ASDAN sessions we made sweet cones to sell at our Easter market. We enjoyed our Aqua Learn sessions where we all continued to work on our individual targets.
In class, our learning focused around our ILP work and provision plan targets which we have all worked really hard on, as well as our physio targets.
We also continued with our sensory story about the people who help us, which focused on exploring the different people who help us at school. We have enjoyed exploring the resources linked to our story.
We worked on our ASDAN Business enterprise throughout the term. We made sweet cones, and helped choose what went in each cone through eye pointing and showing enjoyment of the different textured sweets for the spring morning tea. We also made Easter hampers during the term, we made our choices after exploring all the different textures smells, tastes and sounds.
In horticulture we planted sweet peas for the summer fete, we explored the compost, pots seeds and caring for the plants. We also used our senses to explore different vegetables before planting seeds to grow them in Mary's garden.
