Hide & seek tray
This fun activity is easy to set up. All you need are some plastic eggs, small toys and a tray.
Hide various toys in the eggs and write up a check list. Encourage your child to find and tick off all the items on the list.
For older children, you could place the eggs around the room or in the garden and help them find them.

Swimming is such a great activity for summer!
Our students had the opportunity to go swimming last term at @everyoneactive_godalming . If you are looking for a place to swim over the holidays, they offer Family Swimming sessions.

During PE classes, our students are given the opportunity to explore and develop various skills.
Last term some classes worked on tennis skills, like rolling the ball with the racket without losing control. It was quite a challenge, but we were proud of their perseverance. Activities like also build on confidence and hand-eye co-ordination.
Do you enjoy any summer sports?

Our students thrive when they know what to expect – this is the power of NOW & NEXT. Using visual aids/Makaton symbols to show students what we will do now and what will happen next, prepares them for the day, and reduces anxiety. Now and next boards can be used in a variety of settings and be tailored to the pupil’s interests.
