Class Story

Class Overview

Welcome to Cinderella Class, taught by Jackie Bladon (Class Teacher) and Laura Kenmuir, Clair Roebuck and Yasmin Karim (Teaching Assistants). We are a total communication classroom and use different ways for the children to use their ‘voice’ and to communicate their wants and needs throughout the day. This includes the use of symbols in and around the classroom provision, for snack time and for the daily timetable/routine, as well as using Makaton and gestures.

Following primarily the Discovery pathway of the curriculum, the children will be learning through provisional based activities set out daily, this includes having open access to our own outdoor classroom area. We will engage in daily sensory based learning experiences including squiggle (including mark making in foam/rice etc...), dough disco and water play. We will be exploring sensory stories based on the topic, using objects of reference and items related to the five senses to help bring the story to life. We will also have regular access to the Sensory room, Dark Room, Soft play and Top Garden to develop social, emotional, sensory and physical needs.

We follow a structures daily routine and timetable for teaching and learning with transitions supported by music cues, symbols/pictures specific to individual needs as well as a Now and Next board. We also routinely access interventions including TAC PAC, Intensive Interaction and Attention Autism which supports sensory communication. We enjoy learning in Cinderella Class!
