Year 1 and 2 have also been preparing for the return of children to their new classes. With a focus on calm spaces that cater for the needs of all children, teachers have been working on classrooms, curriculum and lessons that provide opportunities for children to talk. At INSET training today, all staff were working on two central ideas of Learning To Talk and Learning Through Talk; thinking about how to take children through the stages of noticing and naming, comparing and wondering and finally predicting and reasoning. Oracy is the foundation of our curriculum and pedagogy practice. Mrs Shakesby, Mrs Honeywill, Mrs Keene, Mrs Simmons and Mrs Pople look forward to welcoming their new classes.

Our new Acorns leaning unit for Reception children is ready to open in the coming week. A large open space has been created by combining two existing classrooms together so that all our youngest children can learn and play together under the careful guidance of Mrs Plummer, Miss Seaward and Mrs Dobbins. We are looking forward to welcoming reception children on Wednesday and meeting parents on Monday and Tuesday.

The Blossoms Specialist Inclusion Unit is preparing to open at Hindhayes on Monday. Mrs Shakesby, Miss Horsfield and the support staff are looking forward to getting to know families and children and working towards individual needs in our fabulous bespoke setting. Staff have worked hard to create this space in a very short time upon completion of the building work and it is now waiting to be filled with children who are ready to belong, thrive and achieve. Mrs Nester remains in our thoughts and we have chosen to name the sensory room in The Blossoms 'The Nest'.
