Welcome to J4 Class

Our staff team:

Who we are from left to right; Anna, Linda, Sarah & Michaela

In J4 Class we love to….
  • Improve our communication with staff and with each other. We use symbols, specialised software on iPads and speech.
  • Be as independent as possible, we practice problem solving every day! This includes making choices what equipment and materials we need for a task and how to find them, sharing them out and then putting everything away. We focus on improving hand washing skills and washing our cups and plates. We also take turns to be a Teacher’s Helper and practice bringing water, complete a daily calendar and other duties in class.
  • Further develop our social skills by engaging in projects, pair tasks and working in small groups. We will be practicing how to engage with each other, learn how to take turns and share toys.  
  • Brush our teeth after lunch and begin to practice the road safety when getting ourselves out into the local community.  
  • Become more confident at using laptops and computers to access educational games online to support our learning. We will practice to follow step by step instructions to find named websites and complete the activities linked to Maths and English. 
Our Books this term are;
  • Salat in Secret 

  • Pattan’s Pumpkin 

  • Rama and Sita 

  • The Grinch who stole Christmas 

  • Our core book is Matilda 

In J4 Class, we strive towards our shared vision by;
  • Improving independence (hand washing, teeth brushing, using kitchen equipment, sweeping and mopping the floor and doing the dishes)
  • Developing social skills while taking part in paired or small group tasks
  • Improving problem solving by having a go at making choices, and how to replace or join materials
  • Using our own ideas to re-create art projects and having the courage to adapt or develop a model
  • Observing and recreating cause and effect connections
