Welcome to J3

April 2025 

During April we continued our Spring Topic, which then lead to Easter.  J3 had a busy month experiences different Easter activities through our sensory curriculum.  We enjoyed going on an Easter Hunt journey during our sensory story, where we heard lambs, had buzzing bees on an umbrella and many more stimulus to explore.  This month our highlight was joining with pupils from 'The Nest' for an Easter big play.  Everyone had a wonderful time! J3 staff would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Easter Mid Term Break and we look forward to what Term 3 has in store. 

March 2025 

March was another busy month.  In J3 we have been exploring all things 'Spring'.  For our sensory story this month we enjoyed 'Going on a Spring Hunt', where we played our instruments and explored a range of stimulus such as grass, flowers, honey and used talking tiles to listen to the buzzy bees and lambs.  We have been creating flowers during art and have been planting seeds in our world around us.  This month we have celebrated Pancake Tuesday, Saint Patrick's Day and literacy colour themed week and let's not forget a fun packed day dressing up for World Book Day.  

February 2025

This month we explored Valentines through lots of sensory play, messy red jelly was a hit in class and everyone liked the slimy texture.  During February we have been enjoying some Music Therapy and everyone has shown great engagement throughout these sessions.  Our theme has been Spring.  Our sensory story is 'We're Going on a Spring Hunt' and we have created some blossom trees.  To finish the month we have explored new life and enjoyed focusing on lambs.  We made some popcorn lamb bags, which was a fun sensory experience.  

January 2025

Happy New Year from J3! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Holiday.  

January has been a busy month exploring Winter.  This month we have also celebrated Chinese New Year, the food exploration was a hit!

December 2024

J3 enjoyed fun filled festive December.

We explored Christmas through music, exploration, craft and stories.  This month we enjoyed a 'Live Music' session filled with Christmas cheer and we joined in with our egg shakers and bells.  The highlight of our month was a visit from 'Dolly the Donkey' and let's not forget Santa who made a special appearance in a sensory grotto.  

J3 staff would like to wish all of our pupils and their families a very Merry Christmas and a Health New Year!

November 2024

This month we welcomed new pupils to class J3 and some pupils moved to their new P1 classrooms down in the new mobiles.  This month we have been getting to known each other as a new class.  We have engaged in many sensory experiences and everyone is settling in wonderfully.  There is no doubt that J3 are going to have a fantastic school year ahead!  

October 2024 

This month we enjoyed Numeracy Week with an animal focus.  Making fish shaped pizza wraps was a hit! The highlight of the month was our Pumpkin Patch Session.  Everyone had a wonderful time exploring lots of spooky props and moving freely around the sensory garden.

September 2024 

What a busy month we have had getting to know everyone in J3.  Throughout this month we have been working on building relationships and settling into school routine.  Our theme this month has been 'All About Me'.  We have explored this topic through structured play, sensory music, sensory stories and lots of art/sensory activities.  Lots of exploration in the sensory garden and the park has been a big hit!
