Hello from the Laurel class team!
We are Laurel class, this MER we are continuing to develop our independence and community skills, so that we can explore and access places around us. We do PE on Mondays (so please bring in a PE kit!) This can stay in school, or return home each week! It really helps your child develop their understand of when we wear different clothes, and gives them a chance to practise their dressing and undressing skills. Tuesday we visit the local park, and use the sports area to play football. On Wednesday we go swimming. On Thursday we go to the shops to buy ingredients for our toasted sandwiches, which we cook in the afternoon. On Fridays we have forest schools (so please remember your wellies!).
