Welcome to J3

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!
