Welcome to Starfish Class

In Starfish Class we work towards promoting independence and developing social skills alongside our educational targets. Starfish class will spend some time out of the classroom learning about the world around us, which will involve visits local parks, museums, farms, and shops.  

On top of the usual literacy and numeracy, a typical day in Starfish will include sensory circuits to focus our mind and bodies, work-boxes for independent learning, and physical exercise. Starfish will also develop their attention skills using Attention Autism. Alongside these activities, we also take part in weekly cooking, forest school, science/DT, and sports sessions.
