Phase 1 Specialist Teaching Facility for MLD - Miss Stirling

Welcome to Our Class!

Miss Stirling is our teacher and we are lucky to be supported in our learning by Miss Reid, Mrs Sharpe & Miss Watkins

We like to learn through exploring things and we especially love messy play. We may come home messy some days, but that's because we have been having lots of fun.

A few helpful reminders!

Class fund is paid on a Monday every week and is £3. This covers our fruit, snack, cooking, sensology sessions as well as other experiences.
We do lots of messy play so could we please have spare clothes & wellies just in case we get a little bit dirty!
We are available via class dojo to answer any questions or queries however, during school time it can be busy and we ask for you to be patient as we will reply as soon as we are able to. We will use it to keep you up to date with any important information- this is also where we will share photo's of your child's learning for you to see all the fun and exciting things that they have been up to.

Thank you for your continued support :)

Our big question for the Spring Term is 'What Does It Mean to Belong' 😊

We will be exploring our local area, our families and friends, and also special events such as the Chinese Lunar year, Dydd Santes Dwynwen and Saint David's day and all the foods linked to around the world!

Please see our termly overview that details some of the learning that we will be doing over the next term.
