SUMMER TERM HOME LEARNING
W.C. 13th July
Hi Skye Class
It's hard to believe that there are only two weeks left of this very strange term. We're looking forward to things getting back to being more normal in September and I'm sure you're all looking forward to the structure and routine of being back in school full time. While you're counting down the days until September why not practise learning the days of the week using the timetable below and click on the youtube link to listen to our familiar days of the week song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CuphkWcdDE I know some of you have been working really hard at learning the days of the week at home! In the meantime we're hoping for some more sun and that we can all enjoy getting out and about more in the summer. Below are some activities to work on and keep you busy at home. We're enjoying seeing some of you back in school and for those of you at home we'd love to hear what you've been up to!
If you'd like more activities to do then click on the icons below and you'll find lots of fun work activities. If there's anything else we can do to support you then please email me at jashman@standrews.derby.sch.uk

Skye Class Team (2019/20)
We are a small group of Year 10 and 11 students on the Autistic Spectrum who enjoy developing our awareness of the world around us through sensory exploration. Our topic based learning provides lots of opportunities to engage and have fun in a wide range of learning experiences. Through practical activities we work at developing our functional skills and particularly focus on using PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) to develop our communication skills.
Resources for Parents
AUTUMN TERM
Our topic for the term is the Victorians which provides lots of scope to dress up and enjoy sensory stories based on Oliver Twist and a Christmas Carol. Check out the photos in our Oliver Twist sensory story below!
Exploring the props and having fun in our Oliver Twist sensory story!
SPRING TERM
Our topic for the term is the stories of Roald Dahl and we're becoming familiar with 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' in Literacy through our sensory story. We're also enjoying our Science lessons where we're looking at materials and how they change - melting and hardening chocolate is a favourite activity and fits in well with our topic. With Valentine's Day and Easter there's a bit of a chocolate theme going on this term! Click on the links below to see our subject specific learning.
British Science Week March 2020
In Skye we have been celebrating British Science week by taking part in a 'Bubble Challenge'. We've been experimenting with bubble wands that are round, square, triangle and oval shaped to see which wands make the best bubbles. We've also been having great fun adding food colouring to bubble mixture to create different coloured bubbles. In case you're wondering round and oval bubble wands make the best bubbles!
