Pass the jam, Jim. We focus on developing communication skills and

participating in a variety of sensory activities.

In maths we have been concentrating on identifying numbers 1 to 10,

recognizing colours-red and yellow so far, sorting objects by size big

and small and exploring shapes in our environment.

In our lessons weve been playing games, singing songs and

encouraging turn - taking and making choices.
