Redwood Class

Welcome to Redwood Class! We have 9 pupils in our class, 6 boys and 3 girls, on the Secondary site. We have a mix of year groups ranging from Year 8 to Year 10.

We enjoy learning through our senses. We do this through sensory stories, TACPAC, music lessons and movement sessions.  We also thoroughly enjoy participating in our Attention Bucket sessions, which we find very exciting!

Our communication skills are coming on in leaps and bounds! We use PECS, Aided Language Boards, speech and Makaton signs to make comments and communicate our wants/needs. We follow a visual timetable or use Objects of Reference so that we know what will be happening throughout the day.  We are also working hard on our English and Maths skills through our individual Key Skills targets.

We love being outside and have weekly Forest School lessons where we explore natural materials. We look forward to our daily breaktimes, where we take turns using the outdoor leisure equipment.

We have fun during our Hydrotherapy sessions, and we are working hard on our Physiotherapy programmes of stretches and movements.

We have a class assembly on a Friday afternoon where we talk about all of the good work we have done over the week. We enjoy a story massage, singing with Makaton signs, and we end with a dance to our very special song, ‘It’s Friday then, Saturday, Sunday (What!)’ by Dubskie!
