Explorer 2 Class

Welcome to Explorer 2. We are a mixed year 1, 2 and 3 complex needs class. Tania  is the class teacher.  The teaching assistant is Kylie. The ISAs are Zoe and Caz.

Spring 2:

Ahoy there! This half term, our Explorer 2 crew had a fantastic time discovering “Who Put the Colours in the Rainbow?” 🌈 Through lots of hands-on, play-based activities, we explored colours by naming, matching, and experiencing them in fun and engaging ways. In Maths, we became number detectives—recognising numbers, sequencing, and learning about more and less.  

These activities have been especially supportive, helping our children to learn through hands-on, meaningful experiences in a calm and nurturing environment. 

Summer 1:

Next half term, get ready to set sail on a pirate adventure! 🏴‍☠️ Our new topic is all about pirates, and in English we’ll be diving into pirate-themed fun with recipes, cooking, and list writing, using simple, visual and sensory approaches to support all learners. In Maths, we will explore pirate-themed size comparison by using real objects such as treasure chests, coins, and ships to learn about big and small through hands-on, visual, and repetitive activities. 

As always, our learning will be supported through lots of sensory and physical activities, making learning fun, accessible, and engaging for every child. 

We’re looking forward to another fun, colourful, and engaging half term full of learning and discovery! 

As always All activities will be carefully structured to support our children using visuals, routines, sensory play, and lots of opportunities for communication, exploration, and fun. We can’t wait for another exciting half term full of treasure, teamwork, and discovery!
