Zebra Class

In Zebra Class we have nine pupils, six boys and three girls, who are in years 3-6. We are a happy, bubbly and busy class who enjoy learning in a practical and hands on way.

We spend most mornings focusing on either literacy or maths. We access our learning through a carousel system which incorporates 1:1 topic work – to learn new skills, individualised key skills – to work towards each pupils personalised targets, bay work – to consolidate prior learning, and independent/group ‘explore’ time – a time to meaningfully engage with practical resources related to our literacy and maths topics.

Once a week we have our creativity sessions where the class splits into two. Half of the group go to the cookery room and the other half stay in the classroom to do art. In cooking we make a variety of items and it is a good opportunity to practice following symbolised recipes and to promote good hygiene and life skills. In art, we create pieces related to our topic whilst developing our motor skills and enjoying sensory exploration.

We enjoy spending time at the end of each day to practice our skills in playing, sharing and turn-taking. We enjoy playing games and listening to music with our friends.

So far this year we have enjoyed our trips out for swimming and to try out different activities such as archery and climbing. We are looking forward to experiencing both of these again this term.
