Recent Highlights - Autumn 1
Base 3 have made a brilliant start to the new school year and have settled quickly back into their routines. We have been working hard on our reading and phonics each day, including our Sounds-Write sessions, as well as developing confidence, independence and communication skills across the curriculum.
English
In English, we have been reading The Day the Crayons Quit. The story has given us lots of opportunities to explore feelings, opinions and persuasive language.
As part of our work, Mr Hannaway told the class that the Headteacher was planning to cancel break times so that pupils could spend more time reading! The children became very passionate about the idea and used this as the starting point for learning about strikes and peaceful protest. They created placards, discussed their arguments and prepared to put their views across in a debate.
Citizenship
Our Citizenship topic is Being a Citizen. We have been learning about rights and responsibilities, how people can express their opinions and why it is important to listen respectfully to different points of view.
This has linked really well with our English work on strikes, protest and standing up for something you believe in.
Reading and Phonics
Reading continues to be an important part of every day in Base 3. Pupils are working on their individual reading targets and taking part in regular Sounds-Write phonics sessions to develop their reading and spelling skills.
Forest School and Outdoor Learning
We have continued to spend lots of time learning outside the classroom. Our Forest School work this term is focusing on exploring woodland, observing the natural environment, working safely outdoors and developing practical skills, teamwork and independence.
Jeans for Genes Day
Base 3 also enjoyed taking part in Jeans for Genes Day. Thank you to everyone who donated. Even a small donation can make a real difference to children and families affected by genetic conditions
