The Hangout

This week has not only been about fun and adventure but also about gaining valuable life skills and independence.

Each activity has contributed to our personal growth and understanding of the world around us.

We have walked around and investigated our local area; we loved our visit to the…

During Attention Autism we used skittles to experiment with and make a rainbow. We also had fun making our own. Great fun! 

In The Hangout we love to celebrate when someone has a birthday, we enjoy social activities like sitting at the table to eat party food. This also gives us an opportunity to try new things to eat. We enjoy singing happy birthday and making the birthday person feel special. Pass the parcel also…

Today we learnt about Earth Day, we talked about our planet and how we can look after it better. We made an Earth Day pledge of what we will do to improve how we looked after our planet. Some of us also did some litter picking on the playground. Great work.

The Hangout guys practice their handwriting every day. The repetition helps with calmness and mindfulness as they focus on perfecting their letter formation.

Some of our Hangout children enjoyed a trip to Liverpool. We experienced the bus, train, open top bus and a little look around the art gallery. What great fun we had!

The Hangout have enjoyed the lead up to Easter.  They have enjoyed Easter crafts, the Easter story, squirting the eggs with water and winning Easter chocolate. We also celebrated a birthday with a little party and treats!

We have enjoyed an Easter themed Attention Autism. How eggciting! 
 

The Hangout guys created their own design for their gingerbread person’s T-shirt. They talked about identifying similarities between people in their class and discussed ways in which they are the same as their friends.

This week in our Jigsaw lesson, The Hangout have been learning about different types of medicines that can help us. We also had a good chat about medicine safety. The children were really sensible. Great work. 

The Hangout loved loved loved a visit from the ducklings, oh those little faces!

The Hangout guys enjoyed dressing in red and having mad hair! The children's donations to Comic Relief were greatly appreciated. Thank you!
