Rainbow Unit Weekly Update

Class: Rainbow Unit Year: 2023 - 2024

This week has been a special week- we’ve moved into our new classroom!
The girls have loved it and settled in so well. They have both been so vocal in their new classroom, which has been so lovely to hear! Adults have been taking part in intensive interactions with the children and have observed the children a lot. It has been really nice to see how much Rosie and Tilly are acknowledging each other and have been holding hands frequently and running around the room together! They have been giggling together too!
We have introduced some new toys into the classroom, including new gym apparatus for vestibular movements, lots of sensory toys, the dark den has been re-introduced and new cause and effect toys.
We have been encouraging the girls to sit down for both snack and lunch at a table on a chair, this has worked well so far. During snack time, we have been showing the children the different options that they have and they have been choosing what they want to eat first. This has been a success and made snack times calmer, and the core board has consistently been used at these times too.
Another new experience- Rosie and Tilly went on the front big playground with the rest of the children in KS1, both girls coped very well and were happily running alongside the other children!
