๐ŸŒŸ Chestnut Class | A Look Back at Last Weekโ€™s Learning! ๐ŸŒŸ

Chestnut Class had another wonderful week filled with learning, exploration and exciting activities! ๐Ÿ’š Our young people have been busy developing their skills, exploring new topics and making progress across all areas of learning. ๐Ÿ˜Š

๐Ÿš’ English | Our Firefighting Theme
We continued our firefighting topic by beginning to label pictures and explore the different equipment and items used by firefighters. Itโ€™s been a great opportunity to build vocabulary and learn more about the important role firefighters play in our community! ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿš’

๐Ÿ”ข Maths | Ordering Numbers
We carried on practising ordering numbers, helping our young people strengthen their number recognition and understanding of numerical order through engaging learning activities. ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿ˜ด PSHE | Understanding Our Feelings
We explored the feeling of being tired, thinking about what it feels like and how we can recognise and understand our emotions and needs. Learning to identify our feelings is an important step towards developing emotional awareness and communication. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿง Discover and Create | Our Bodies
Our young people continued learning all about their bodies through fun and engaging activities, encouraging them to explore, discover and develop their understanding of themselves. โœจ

We are so proud of our Chestnut Class learners and all the wonderful progress they continue to make! Every little step, new discovery and achievement is worth celebrating. ๐Ÿ’š

Well done, everyone, for another fantastic week of learning, creativity and discovery! We canโ€™t wait to see what exciting things the next week brings. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ‘

Behind every child and young person we support, every achievement, every milestone and every smile is a team of people who give so much of themselves every single day.

We know the work isnโ€™t always easy. There are challenging days, long hours and emotional moments, but you continue to show up, support one another and make such an incredible difference to the lives of those we support.

Sometimes, in the busyness of everyday life, we donโ€™t stop enough to recognise just how amazing our team really is.
