Our focus for October is Black History Month. To celebrate this, we have been making music using African drums and have made a collage to create an outfit for an African person.
On European Languages Day, we investigated Spain. We had a Spanish-themed Attention Autism lesson and decorated a Spanish flag using paint and glitter. We all enjoyed dancing to Spanish music!
To celebrate World Poetry Day, we have explored poems about mini beasts, shapes and teddies. We have explored objects relating to the poems within our Continuous Provision activities.
In September we celebrated Roald Dahl day. We made our own ‘Marvelous Medicines’, explored a ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ themed sensory tray and ordered ‘James’s Giant Peach’ from giant to tiny.

World Peace Day
We celebrated World Peace day in Rose class by making doves our of our hand and finger prints. We enjoyed the sensory experience of painting our hands!
We celebrated Diwali by wearing traditional clothes and making Diwali sweets. We all did well to dress up and try different foods!
We have all made our Christingles and taken part on our Lower School Christingle service. We enjoyed the service, especially eating the sweets afterwards!
In our English lessons, we have been exploring the book ‘Dear Zoo’. We have reenacted the book using props and have built a tower to tell the story. We all shared and took turns with our friends.
