Cognition
In cognition, we will be exploring different types of weather and spending time outside in the sensory and wildlife gardens to experience this. We will be exploring dry and wet textures from the gardens, including leaves and twigs and noticing the difference in their textures. We will be exploring rhythm, especially in music. On B side, some of us will be continuing to work on representing numbers to 5 and recognizing symbols for weather types. We will be working hard in our engagement and attention sessions to develop the length of time we can engage with a stimuli.

Physical
We will be participating in PE activities, swimming, Rebound and accessing the swings in the hall each week. During PE, we will work on our ball skills through playing boccia and basketball. We will also work on gross motor development through body awareness sessions twice weekly. In these sessions we will work on showing our preferences, responding to music and movement and stretching our muscles. We will also experience regular positional changes and complete our physio or MOVE programmes throughout the week.
