When we read, we like to ask questions about the text and predict what we think might happen next. Every day we have story time where we read an exciting book together.
Starfish class enjoy borrowing books from our school library, and also like to visit a local library where we take part in activities and share books and stories.
English
Each half term our English learning is tied to an exciting text. This allows the children to explore and engage with a variety of different genres as well as looking at both fiction and non-fiction texts throughout the year. The children will make predictions, look at punctuation and grammar, use different tenses and write their outcome piece based on the style of text they have been investigating.
Mathematics
In maths, we use concrete, pictorial and abstract representations to support our mathematical learning.
Inclusion
We like to join in with lots of whole school activities where we can meet our friends from other classes. Here are some of the many things we take part in;
- Assemblies
- Clubs
- Year group trips
- Team events
- Sports day

Our curriculum is bespoke to meet our individual needs; however, sometimes we join our friends in other classes to participate in lessons we particularly enjoy and excel at art, music, PE and science.
Social Trips and Outings in Starfish Class
Starfish class enjoy a variety of trips and visits. Sometimes these are linked to the curriculum, but often we visit places where we can practise our social and practical skills.
Starfish class have a weekly social outing where the children can practice their social and life skills. Previous outings have included going to the library, visiting local garden centres and cafes, trips to the park, fruit picking and food shopping at the supermarket.
