We’ve had another lovely week at Building SEND Castles! : ) 🏰

This week, we’ve been learning all about babies and growing up. The children enjoyed talking about what babies need and the different ways we can help look after them.

We had lots of fun with our older child V’s younger child activities, as well as Doh Disco, helping to build those important motor skills through movement and play.

The children were so absorbed when painting their own self-portraits onto paper plates, giving everyone the chance to be creative and talk about themselves.

During outdoor time, we played a fun hide and seek game where the children had to look at the item found and decide if it was suited for a baby or an older child. The children had to find the items and put them into the correct box, which was great fun and encouraged lots of thinking and sorting. 🌿

We also learned about looking after our teeth, including a fun tooth-cleaning activity and talking about how our teeth work and why it is important to look after them. 🦷

There were lots of opportunities to explore and learn about the world around us too. The children investigated pinecones and conducted a science experiment together. What would happen to the pinecones when they were wet? Would the turn in to a tree ? Would they fall apart? Would they stay the same ? Would they close up? These were some of the wonderful predictions from our young people.

Alongside all of this, the children enjoyed trying out different instruments and some body percussion! 🎶

It’s been a lovely week of learning through play, helping the children build their independence, communication, motor skills, confidence and understanding of the world around them.

We’re so proud of how the children continue to get involved, try new things and grow in confidence each week. ✨

We’ve had a busy second week at Building SEND Castles! 💙

The children have been getting involved in lots of different activities, with plenty of time for learning, playing, being creative and having fun together.

Each morning, the children use our mood board to show how they are feeling. This gives everyone a chance to talk about their emotions and helps us support them throughout the day.

We’ve had lots of fun with shaking the parachute, getting everyone involved, moving around and working together. We’ve also enjoyed dancing, group games and plenty of outdoor sensory play. ☀️

There has been lots of creativity too, with tuff trays, chalk stick outlines & colouring, bubble popping, new drawing pads, hand painting and mini shape puzzles. 🎨 The children also enjoyed making smiley face & colourful biscuits to take home, which were a big hit! 🍪

We’ve continued working on phonics and speech and language through activities such as ‘What’s in the Box’, as well as enjoying calm story times together.

Every day we make sure there is a mixture of activities, including emotional regulation, speech and language, exercise, crafts, group activities and time to play and build friendships.

It’s been lovely to see the children getting involved, having fun together and becoming more comfortable in their surroundings. We’re really proud of everyone and are looking forward to another great week! 💙✨

Our first full week back at Building SEND Castles and we are so happy to see everyone!

This week has been all about settling in, getting to know one another and making sure our new children feel happy, comfortable and part of the Building SEND Castles family.

It has been great to see our new children beginning to build friendships with those who have been with us previously. From playing games together and sharing activities to enjoying social snack times, there have already been lots of lovely moments together.😊

We’ve enjoyed plenty of creative activities and art, as well as making the most of our outdoor spaces for play, games and having fun together.☀️

We have also been putting all the new equipment, games and resources we prepared over the summer holidays to good use! It has been fantastic watching the children explore everything, find activities they enjoy and discover new ways to play together.

For us, these first few weeks are about much more than settling into a routine. They are about building relationships, developing confidence, making friends and creating a place where every child feels safe, welcomed and happy to be themselves.

It has been a really positive start, and we are so proud of how well everyone has settled in. We’re looking forward to seeing the friendships, confidence and smiles continue to grow over the coming weeks! 💙✨
