Oak Spring 2 2026

Debbie Bagwell (speel) on: Oak Class

This term has been a busy and exciting one for the pupils in Oak Class. All pupils have been working towards completing the ASDAN unit Preparing Drinks and Snacks, taking part in a wide range of cookery activities. They have prepared their own lunches, made pancakes, and even baked Valentine’s biscuits.

In World Studies, our sensory learners have been exploring the Ancient Egyptians. They enjoyed a multisensory ‘Journey down the Nile’, experiencing a variety of tactile and sensory resources including water sprays, camel fur, sandy pyramids, and even chocolate dung.

Some pupils also took part in the Big SEND Sing. Over the term, they learned a selection of songs and accompanying signs for a total of five performances. As a group, they additionally worked together to learn Before You Go by Lewis Capaldi and performed it confidently in front of pupils from other schools.

A group of pupils enjoyed a train trip to Blackpool. In their English lessons, they planned the journey before heading off for the real experience and enjoying lunch at McDonald’s. Some of our sensory learners also had the wonderful opportunity to visit Blackpool Tower, where they listened to a live performance by the National Youth Orchestra.

Throughout the term, pupils have engaged in a variety of physical activities. At the tennis centre, they have been learning the rules of football and developing the skills needed to play. In addition, pupils have been participating in Conductive Education sessions and accessing lessons in the hydrotherapy pool.
