Mars Class have been accessing a range of cross-curricular resources and activities to support holistic learning and communication. Pupils have been enjoying activities such as swimming, outdoor learning, cooking, and role-playing experiences based on Solihull High Street shops within the classroom during the summer term.

Moonbeams Class have started exploring their new topic of celebrations by taking part in a wedding themed sensology session. Pupils used their senses to experience different elements of a wedding. Their eyes saw the wedding lights, their noses smelled scented flowers, their ears listened to wedding music, their hands felt confetti and their mouths tasted wedding cake.

Rainbows Class have been having fun in Forest School. Pupils spend time outside discovering the natural environment, investigating their surroundings and enjoying the sunshine.

Shooting Stars Class have started a new Scientific Enquiry theme this week, focusing on plants. The children explored in multi-sensory ways, handling soil and transferring it into containers ready to plant seeds. They are looking forward to watching the seeds begin to grow and using watering cans to care for them. As well as learning about planting and caring for seeds, the children will be developing their fine motor skills by using tools such as trowels and watering cans.
