M1 February 2025 update
This month the pupils in M1 have been busy "sharing the love" with Valentine's activities, Activity Based Learning and Cookery. They have worked so hard on their skills and also enjoyed Cheylene and Ryan's music programme once a week. What fun everyone had playing lots of instruments. We are looking forward to seeing what fun March will bring!

M1 January 2025 update

This month, the pupils have been exploring the topic of 'Winter' through many practical activities. They have also worked so hard with the development of their communication, literacy and numeracy skills. They had great fun learning about Chinese New Year and made vegetable noodles which they ate (or tried to) with chopsticks!

We welcomed Cheylene and Ryan into our class and have enjoyed the commencement of their music programme. What fun everyone had playing lots of instruments. We are looking forward to continuing with this weekly programme over the next few weeks.

M1 December 2024 update

What fun we have had this month!  We had lots of Christmas themed practical tasks in Activity Based Learning and have been enjoying outdoor learning. We have enjoyed several weeks of Music Therapy.

We took part in Christmas jumper day and had a delicious Christmas dinner as well as our Santa Run. We met Santa in the Christmas Grotto and found out we were all on the good list! A very friendly donkey came to school and we have been watching the school elf cause all sorts of mischief! To finish off our celebrations, we had a Christmas party. 

We hope all our pupils and their families have a wonderful Christmas and we look forward to seeing everyone again in the New Year.

M1 November 2024 update

Another busy month! We have been exploring the topic of 'Houses and Homes'. Pupils were excited to identify their home and name who lives with them. We have looked at different types of houses and enjoyed art activities around this theme. Everyone has been exploring the resources through Activity Based Learning and have been enjoying Music Therapy.

M1 October 2024 update

Everyone has been very busy in Class M1- exploring the signs of Autumn outdoors and enjoying lots of Halloween activities. We loved our visit to the Pumpkin patch and had great fun dressing up. We have worked hard in Numeracy and Literacy and been creative during art and music activities.
