Coffee morning
Home Learning Vocabulary Pack
Hi,
I hope everyone has had a good Easter holiday. You should all have received your vocabulary packs which contain the words I would like you to use at home this term.
They include the following words

Yes, No
Like, Don’t like,
Want and I don’t want.
More, Stop, Something different,
The students have been working on making informed choices about what they do or have facilitated for them using these words. They have usually been making choices between two opposite options.
E.g. Do you want to listen to music? -a choice between want /don’t want cards
Do you like this flavour? like / don’t like or yes/no etc.
It would be great if you could integrate this vocabulary into your home routines. Please send examples of the students working on their targets at home via telephone, e-mail or home school diary so we can share and celebrate their successes.
Thanks
Claire and Team

Holiday homework: Getting ready for Art week
On the the week beginning the 9th January’ the whole school will come together to celebrate some of the art worlds most famous movements. In 6CHa we are going to be creating a display based on the assemblage work of Joseph Cornell.
See if you can find anything out about his famous boxes. Here is a short video to get you started.
We are going to be making our own boxes. If you have any items you think would be good in your (or your friends box) bring it in. If you find a box you would like to recreate-let me know…or be brave and create a new design of your own.
I can’t wait for art week and I hope you will be excited to.
