Regularly working on pupil's core strength in our #OT sessions develops the stability required for pretty much everything they do! It improves posture and balance to facilitate good control in both fine and gross motor movements including handwriting @Topcliffeschool pic.twitter.com/BdBcs78buW— Mrs Bignall (@MrsB_OTchampion) November 15, 2024

Pencil control activities can be super simple and can be completed with a range of writing tools. The children really enjoyed the challenge of forming circles within the very small squares. With consistency over time, we will see improved control in handwriting @Topcliffeschool pic.twitter.com/YaOIZQaqus— Mrs Bignall (@MrsB_OTchampion) November 15, 2024

New #OT skill of the month for November! Promoting independence in self-care skills helps children to develop resilience, confidence and self esteem and helps them to understand responsibility and the value of being self sufficient 😊 @Topcliffeschool pic.twitter.com/dwCuk2O5pQ— Mrs Bignall (@MrsB_OTchampion) November 8, 2024

Mixed responses to rice pudding this week in our sensory feeding session. I am so proud of these children for exploring the texture and smell when locating hidden objects. I haven't managed to convince them that this is delicious just yet 😄 #OTWeek2024 @Topcliffeschool pic.twitter.com/p6HYjQJB8W— Mrs Bignall (@MrsB_OTchampion) November 8, 2024
