This week is School Diversity Week. In Reception we have been celebrating our differences. We drew rainbow people, created rainbow bunting and also drew around our friends outside and made them into rainbows with chalk.
This week in maths we have been sharing and grouping. The children have done a fabulous job. They have problem solved, explained their reasons and ensured all groups are equal. They also shared sweets between themselves and their friends, again using their problem solving and reasoning skills throughout. Of course they ate the sweets after! Ask them to show you their skills at home.
Yesterday was ‘Careers Day’
Reception had two visitors. A local author and illustrator who read two of her stories to the children and an occupational therapist, who talked about her job and how she helps children. It was a fabulous experience for them. Ask the children all about it!
Dear Community,
Please see the following information from Toby Henderson Trust. I do hope that you find it useful.
We would like to share details of our next Open day:
The Toby Henderson Trust (TTHT) at the Autism Hub will be hosting a Summer drop-in Garden party, giving everyone the opportunity to come along to meet the team, learn more about what we do, whilst enjoying some refreshments in our ‘Tranquillity Garden’. We also hope it will be an opportunity to help build on the communities understanding of Autism and inclusivity for all autistic individuals and their families. Whether you have a local business, work/live in the area, are a South Tyneside professional or parent/carer we would love for you to come along.
Date: Tuesday 18th June 2024 10am – 2pm.
Introduction to Makaton workshop for families:
We are offering a free ‘Introduction to Makaton’ Family Workshop on Monday 24th June, 10.00am-12.30pm, delivered by Makaton Tutor Anna Melling from Talk to the Hand Makaton Training (limited places available).
TTHT ‘Out & About’ in the community:
We understand through feedback received from families that it can be pretty tough, when your ‘cup is already full’ to come along to somewhere new and access support for the first time with people you have never met before. That’s why the team are so passionate about finding ways to break down those barriers and get ‘out and about’ in the community so families can meet us, have a chat and feel comfortable and reassured to come along to access our services at the autism hub.
We decided this summer we would add to the many ways we do this by planning a local ‘Walk & Talk’ event. This is a chance for anyone to meet us and join the TTHT at the Autism Hub Team on a relaxed walk and talk along the South Shields Coastline.
Wednesday 17th July 10am – 11am.
Full details can be found on the poster attached. No booking is required for this event.
