What does provision look like for those with additional needs in Sunfish 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.

English / Reading: The children are supported with STEM sentence, shared writes, key word maps, focus words each week, group work, CLIKR, 1:1 reading sessions, daily reading, reading materials to follow during shared class reading sessions, Nessy and focused 1:1 / group same and next day interventions.

Maths: The children are supported through the use of scaffolding, Mangahigh, group work and use of resources. The resources allow the children to understand the lessons through focused concrete learning where they are supported in 1:1 and group same and next day interventions to progress onto pictorial and abstract learning.

Curriculum: The children are supported during curriculum lessons through the use of STEM sentences, verbal discussions to support understanding and group work.

Term 6: How does passion fuel design?

Each term our learning will be themed around an enquiry question. Our Term 6 enquiry question is 'How does passion fuel design?' and we will focus on the themes of: passion, choice, love and value.

Term 6 Rich Texts

"Engineers Making a Difference" highlights how engineers solve real-world problems and improve lives through innovation. The book showcases diverse engineers, from inventors to technicians, who are tackling challenges like climate change, healthcare, and resource management. It emphasizes that engineering is about creativity, problem-solving, and making a positive impact on the world, inspiring readers to consider engineering as a career path.

"TrooFriend" is a novel by Kirsty Applebaum about a girl named Sarah who receives an android best friend named Ivy as a gift. Initially, Sarah is not impressed, preferring a dog. However, she soon realizes that having a TrooFriend might help her fit in at school, especially after reports surface about the androids possibly developing feelings. The story explores themes of artificial intelligence, friendship, and what it means to be human, told from Ivy's perspective.
