Welcome to Fig Class
We are one of the youngest classes in the Connection’s pathway; with 8 children and 4 staff. We love to learn in a play based environment; we use a combination of EYFS style continuous provision, Attention Autism ‘topic’ sessions and some 1-1 learning. We use the SCERTS framework to support our learning and to develop our social communication and emotional regulation. Our classroom is a sensory considerate environment with lots of space for child led learning. Our key priorities are developing our early behaviours for learning and developing our communication & regulation.
The Adults in Fig Class are:
| Name | Position |
| Miss O. Simms | Class Teacher |
| Miss K. Green | Teaching Assistant |
| Miss M. Burns | Teaching Assistant |
| Miss S. Stewart | Teaching Assistant |
We develop our communication, play skills and early behaviours for learning through a variety of topics throughout the year. Our continuous provision links to our topics as well as the EYFS areas of learning. We have topic sessions which are engaging and motivating for pupils to ensure we develop a love of learning. While our learning is child led, our class teachers play with us making sure our play is purposeful, meaningful, and tailored to our targets.
