Oak
Oak class are a mixed Year 1 and 2 class with 6 pupils. The class teacher is Miss Robson and our teaching assistants are Mrs Watson and Mrs Fairish. We may be the youngest in the school but we have huge personalities and work super hard. We are new to Croft so are spending some time learning to work together, share our space and the new school routine. We love our Attention Autism sessions and you can often hear us laughing around school. Oak class may be small but we are full of energy and bursting with lots of creative ideas.
Maple
The children in Maple are following a semi-formal curriculum path. We use Social Communication, Emotional Regulation and Transitional Support (SCERTS) targets along with a child’s EHCP targets to produce individualised learning plans for each child. We look at each child’s personal motivators and use these to plan activities which will support their development and work towards their personal learning goals. Not all of these are academically based. Each half term activities are geared around different topics which support the acquisition of new knowledge, experiences and skills.
The aim of this to:
~ enable children to better communicate their likes, dislikes, wants and needs.
~ enable them to recognise their emotions and regulate these effectively.
~ support them in becoming more independent
~ create a personalised learning pathway which is geared to individual needs of each child.
