Transition

We know that children and families may be feeling anxious and worried about the transition back to school. During this time children and families will be experiencing a significant amount of change. We understand how important this transition will be for children so here are some resources to begin to support this process.

Home Learning!

As the school is now closed, we understand that this is big change and children may find it difficult to understand. We are here to support you and would suggest that children of all ages thrive on some structure and routine in their day.

Below you will find some examples of timetables that you can use with your child to support a daily routine. You will also find some social stories that you can read to your child to help their understanding of the coronavirus.

Whilst staying at home, it is important to take care of ourselves. I have attached some useful websites, apps and activities that support children's wellbeing and sensory processing. You will also find some useful literacy and maths resources.

Take care and stay safe.

Sensory Play!

There is so much to learn from sensory play and it is great way to engage and motive your child. It can be therapeutic and is a fun activity for the whole family. Click the links below and you will find lots of great sensory play ideas. We would love to see photos of sensory play whilst you are at home so please email them to your child's class teacher.

Have fun and get messy!
