What does provision look like for those with additional needs in Sealions 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.
Timetable
Pupil planners need to be brought into school and handed in every morning. Planners will be checked weekly by a class adult.
We will visit the library weekly.
PE days are Tuesday (outside) and Friday (inside).
Term 4: How can impact be measured?
This term, we will explore our enquiry question through two rich texts:
Escape from Pompeii by Christina Balit
This rich picture book is set at the time of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and it illustrates the dramatic events through the eyes of two children who are witnesses and then escapees from the natural disaster. We will write a formal newspaper report based on this text that has a clear structure, uses direct and reported speech and past tense consistently.
Empire’s End, A Roman Story by Leila Rasheed
This is a first person narrative told from the point of view of a girl who lives happily in Leptis Magna, in current Libya. She is taken to Rome, then Eboracum (currently York) so that her doctor father can tend to the last emperor to rule over Britannia. Through her eyes, we witness the life-changing experiences faced by people who travelled across the Roman empire in the aim to conquer or rule, and we also witness events that took place as the Roman rule in Britain unraveled. Inspired by this text, we will write a historical narrative, using ambitious vocabulary to describe, fronted adverbials and a range of clauses to add more detail and dialogue to move the story forward.
