J4
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.
