3 Red had a fantastic experience from start to finish yesterday at Sunderland Winter Gardens, where we became Rainforest Explorers for the day!
We impressed the the learning team with our knowledge of all things rainforest, before exploring the rainforest by following the ‘Luna the Lemur’ trail.
This week in Year 3, we have been looking at soundscapes in music. In our theme ‘Under The Canopy’ we have been learning all about the Amazon Rainforest and what types of sounds we would here if we went there. We learned a new musical term called ‘acapella’ which is where sounds are created using no instruments. We had a go at creating our own acapella soundscape of rainforest noises. We used our voices and our bodies to create the sounds of water droplets, the wind, monkeys, tigers, waterfalls, thunder and many more!
Dear Parents & Carers,
If you have a child who has recently received an Autism diagnosis or received an Autism diagnosis some time ago, but you haven’t yet attended a support programme, please make note of the following:
EarlyBird, EarlyBird Plus and Teen Life are excellent and easily accessible programmes that assist you to develop a tool-kit of strategies that will enable you to support your child. Working along side other parents, carers and school staff (where they are able to attend), you will receive invaluable opportunities to share your experiences and pick up some ‘Top Tips’ along the way.
If you would like to attend, but a little worried about making that first step, please just get in touch with me and I will support you with this.
Please remember that this course is for the parents and carers of those children who have already received an Autism diagnosis.
Have a wonderful half-term break.
Ms Donkin
SENDCo
Well done to all the children who achieved 100% attendance for last week.
