Welcome to Woodpeckers Class Page 

We are a lower school class in the Seedlings Pathway with 8 children in the class. We will be focusing on the areas of Physical Development, Personal, Social & Emotional Development, Communication, Literacy, Mathematics, Expressive Arts & Design and Understanding of the World.

Every day Woodpeckers will do Attention Autism, Tac Pac, Theralympics and Communication sessions. We will also spend some time working on our EHCP targets throughout each session. 

 

Summer 1.

Welcome to Summer 1! This half-term we are focusing on Food and Food from Birmingham. Our weeks are going to be split to be based around different types of food. The first two weeks will be focused around fruit and vegetables. The third week will be Indian foods and spices. The fourth week will be take-away foods and then fish and chips, finishing on fruit and vegetables again. During this half-term we will also have a Do and Discover week, which is really exciting. Our class story will be 'Kitchen Disco' which is based around lots of fruit having a party in the kitchen. 

Woodpeckers are really excited about this next half-term and diving into tasting, smelling and trying a different range of foods.

I will continue to keep you all updated via Class DoJo :)

Spring 1.

Welcome to Spring 1, our Topic and focus this term is Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

As a class, we will be focusing on different parts of this story over the next five weeks; the characters, the plot and the different emotions and feelings behind the Dwarves' names. The Woodpeckers class team are really excited about this story. 

At the end of the next half-term, we will be inviting our families into school and displaying our classroom as a 'snoozy' room as part of the Seedlings project. 

I have also attached the class homework sheet for the term.

I will keep you all updated through class Dojo of what we get up to each day! :)
