Main Topics and Trips for 2022/2023
This year, Ash Class will learn about Celebrations Around the World, Transport Through Time and Traditional Tales. You will find more information about how each topic is covered in our curriculum maps, which are at the bottom of this page. They also have a weekly life skills programme on a Friday consisting of some kind of cooking, an active activity such as yoga and sometimes something arty all based on a weekly theme.
Our main trip for the year is the Christmas Panto and regular local trips to the shop across the road for their life skills programme, where they buy some of the products for their weekly Mash Friday. Some of the children will also be joining their mainstream inclusion classes for some of their trips, but this is on an individualised basis. We will also have some drama workshops in the school, which all the children will be joining.
Physical Education (PE)
Our PE day for the Provision is Tuesday. Some children will also be joining their mainstream classes for PE, again this is on an individualised basis.
Your child needs to come into school wearing their PE kit, which consists of a plain t-shirt, plain joggers/shorts and a plain jumper. Trainers are also allowed. Your child will stay in their PE kit for the whole day.
Homework
Homework will be set every Monday, and will consist of a My Mathletics task and phonics on Phonics Play a, set of spelling words (written and on Spelling Shed). There is no pressure to complete this homework at home though.
Reading and Reading Records
We expect your child to read every day. Your child's reading record must be brought in every day to be signed. Reading is such an important part of your child's development so please prioritise this task.
Our Class Rewards
We have many rewards in Ash Class, which consist of:
Class dojo points, raffle tickets every Friday, certificates every Friday and stickers.
To earn a raffle ticket, your child will move their name onto the reward image for showing us a behaviour or knowledge which is above our usual expectations.
