Rainbow Unit Weekly Update

Class: Rainbow Unit Year: 2023 - 2024

This week we have continued to work with the core board with the children. At snack times, this is becoming very successful when requesting more. We have tried to use the core board in ways with do not involve snack, this is a working progress.
Adults have sang various nursery rhymes with props to the children, and stories that involve puppets. We feel the children’s favourite nursery rhyme this week has been “5 little monkeys”.
As well as the core board we have been working on some other speech and language targets, we have been asking the children to make a choice. We are assessing whether the children are able to make a choice between something they like and something they dislike. Again, we have introduced this with food, and this has been successful so far. After half term, we will continue this using different objects.
We have had a lot of fun this week with vestibular movements from adults e.g. bouncing on knees, and alerting activities like tickling! We have heard lots of giggles from the children!
As it is Shove Tuesday next week, we have tasted some pancakes this week, surprisingly these were not a hit!
The children have loved looking through their social stories, these are books we make using all of the photos that you send to us. Could you please send some more photos over half term so we can add some more to their books.
