September2025

Spruce Class has started the new term with energy and enthusiasm.

We have all been jumping with hands and feet (literally) into our topic, ‘This is Me’. We have been making handprints and footprints with paint to put into frames we have decorated. We are also exploring things we like and don’t like, such as water play (liked by everyone), listening to and experiencing stories and music, taking part in Performing Arts sessions, moving about the school in our walkers, standing tall in our standers, and visiting the woods and nature areas.

Plans we have for this term include enjoying our daily Circle (some of us using benches), making our Oaklands Brownies for enterprise, making a ‘This is Me’ booklet, creating a ‘This is Me’ story, exploring technology in the Snoezelen and Magic Carpet areas, making investigations in science sessions and taking part in communication groups and intensive interaction sessions.
