Buddies Summer Term
Acorns Communication
Acorns class have been trialling a range of communication tools this term to see what suits each child. We have been using sound buttons, PECS (Picture exchange communication system), ALD (Aided Language Display) and Grid on the iPad to communicate our wants and needs and to state whether we like or dislike an item.
Acorns Outdoor Learning
Acorns class have had a great time exploring the field and creating a range of items using natural materials such as wands, bird feeders and Christmas decorations.
Acorns Physical Development
Acorns physical development – Acorns class have been enjoying outdoor play using all the climbing equipment, having a ride on Rumble the therapy horse, exploring our senses through pouring, mixing and touching the sensory trays and working on our independent skills with dressing and tooth brushing.
Acorns Class – Autumn Term 2023
Acorns class have settled in well to life at Mountjoy School. They have gotten used to the routines of the day and have started to build friendships with each other which has been so lovely to watch! We have been outside in all weathers and have enjoyed getting messy with our sensory exploration, art and mark making activities. We cannot wait to see what the Spring term has to offer!
Christmas Jumper Day 8th December
We are celebrating Christmas Jumper Day on 8th December, which will hopefully bring some colour to this very gloomy December, and to raise funds for Save the Children.
Please wear something Christmasy tomorrow and if you can, spare some change which will be collected in school. If you prefer to donate direct to Save the Children, here is a link to the school’s Just Giving page:
