Senior Room happenings
Thank you from Jennifer to the Community, School Staff and Students for your warm welcome. It is really enjoyable getting to know each student and to be able to help them with their learning.
Mr Ted has introduced a new Business Plan with three Explicit Instruction lessons per week which I find very helpful to add to the day to day learning program. Additional focus has been given to specific language; the meanings of words and how to apply the language to skills.
I've introduced hand-sewing to make a sampler ie: stitching a sea, threading a needle etc. All the children have enjoyed the experience and widened their vocabulary and use of words.
Other topics covered have been music notation and the recognition of note values; reading notes within bar music; clapping note values and at the same time tapping time signature ie:3/4 time.
For a treat we celebrate birthdays by making a cake using raw/healthy ingredients. By varying activities to fit the Curriculum, the students are expanding their knowledge and adding to their vocabulary and math application. All learning is enjoyable and doing it together builds friendships, kindness and life skills.
