Room 7 is very busy working on the Wilson programme among many other things. The children is room 7 are busy re-learning their sounds, learning to 'hear' sounds and writing the sounds they hear or see.
As everyone in room 7 will atest to, this is a slow and tiring process but the benefits we are seeing are making our efforts worthwhile. It takes a lot of practice and repetition to get it right but we are getting there!
We have many creative and aspiring artists that love art class on Wednesday afternoons. We gave a presentation to our school at assembly on Henry Matisse and demonstrated how he created his pictures.
We are looking forward to writing books for the Write-A-Book project in the new year.
Mission statement
- We seek to assist all children to reach their full potential by creating a warm, caring, inclusive, yet highly structured, environment in which each child is treated as a unique individual with their own special talents.
- We seek to improve the literacy levels of each child in the areas of reading accuracy, reading comprehension, spelling and writing to enable them to be better equipped to cope with the demands of mainstream education.
- We endeavour to ensure that each child, and each member of staff, will have the opportunity to grow intellectually, spiritually and emotionally while a member of our school community.
