As part of our PSHE work on positivity, we have been learning about different emotions such as happy, sad and angry. We pressed switches to listen to sounds associated with each emotion and practised portraying these emotions in our mirrors.

Our new focus in PSHE is all about positive thinking, and we’ve been exploring ways in which we can improve our mood and mental wellbeing. Today we decided to get out into nature and experience all the signs of Autumn – the photos show how much we loved this!

We had lots of fun with Rosie from Sheffield Music Hub who visited to deliver our first multisensory music session. We enjoyed exploring a range of different instruments and pieces of equipment. We already can’t wait for next week!

Here in Chatsworth we have a new and improved sensory space, we love using the sensory lights as part of our new topic ‘Light and Sound’.

In true Paces style we finished the school year off with a beach themed music festival. We loved seeing the donkeys, engaging in water play, and listening and dancing to lots of different music as Chatsworth loves to party!

We have taken full advantage of the few sunny days this week! We have been working on a new mini unit “What Can My Body Do?” As part of this we went on a walk to the duck pond and also had fun playing football and practising our aim with javelin.

This week we created our own classroom café!☕ We had so much fun making, smelling and tasting delicious chocolate cornflake buns. We also enjoyed selling the buns to our friends in our classroom ready for our picnic.

This week, we have taken full advantage of the sunny weather and have had some of our lessons outside.

We have learnt a lot about our bodies growing. So, this week we have been focusing on the growth of food, and have looked specifically at vegetables. We had a great time developing this learning when making a salad – for some of us, the tasting was the best bit!

We got out into the sunshine today and went on a nature walk around the school grounds. It was interesting to see how much the flowers and plants have grown since we checked on them last!

This week we have had two whole-school ‘Growing Up Days’ which have been very exciting! We’ve covered topics such as the changing body, personal hygiene, body parts and social skills. We really enjoyed spending time with other classes in these sessions.

We had a lovely time on our class visit to Eureka! We learnt lots about our bodies and enjoyed experiencing a new environment. Happy half term!

What a day we’ve had! We’ve had so much fun going into other classrooms and learning about their countries – we’ve visited Pakistan, Hungary and Greece. We then returned to Egypt to show some of the parents what we’ve been up to this week!
