What does provision look like for those with additional needs in Dolphins class?
Outlined in the document below are the waves of provision we use to support children with additional needs. Support is tailored to each individual and provided as needed, with or without a diagnosis. Please talk to your child's class teacher if you have any concerns about your child, their needs or the provision in class. You can find further information on the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities page on our website. This is where you will find our vision for SEND pupils, and our SEND information report which outlines what we as a school can offer.

PE Days
In Term 1, we have PE on a Tuesday afternoon and a Thursday afternoon.
Please ensure your child wear school uniform to school in the morning and has their PE kit in school for the term, so that they can change in school. Their PE kit should include the following items:
a yellow t-shirt
black shorts and black jogging bottoms or leggings
a jumper
plimsols or non-marking trainers
Woodland
Woodland sessions will now be termly. Our Woodland Day this half term is yet to be confirmed. The date will be added to Google Classroom and emailed to you by the office staff.
Please ensure your child wears appropriate clothing for the setting and the weather.
If it is raining, please ensure your child brings wellies into a plastic bag to change into after lunch.
Term 2: To improve is to change?
Through our rich text ‘The Wild Way Home’ by Sophie Kirtley, we will be stepping back in time to the Stone Age! We will be exploring this wonderful text in RIC, developing a range of reading skills, such as predicting, inferring, retrieving and summarising.
In English, we will use this text to inspire different styles of writing including a newspaper report, a balanced argument and a diary entry.
In the build up to these extended pieces of writing, we will revisit different types of sentences, as well learning how different sentence openers and conjunctions can enhance their writing.
We will also be revising how to punctuate adverbials and clause with commas and how to use inverted commas and other associated punctuation for dialogue.
Pupil planners need to be brought into school and handed in every morning
We will visit the library weekly on Wednesdays
PE days are Tuesday and Thursday
Mrs Duc will teach the class on Wednesday afternoons during the teachers' PPA
