This half term I have used a 'What's in the Box?' Attention Autism approach to introduce OT skills activities in class. This week was fine motor and Halloween themed! Using tweezers to retrieve the objects from the sticky cornflour and chia seed slime! @Topcliffeschool pic.twitter.com/mH0tE6C0Cz— Mrs Bignall (@MrsB_OTchampion) October 23, 2024

Over the last week, the GOATI groups have been working on their sensory skills, using the night line and playing blindfold games! Reception went on their first offsite trip, an Autumn walk around the school perimeter, looking for seasonal changes! 🍁🍂 @Topcliffeschool pic.twitter.com/mG5ZmII86M— Topcliffeoutdoors (@topcliffehub) October 24, 2024

In our sensory feeding group this week we crushed cereal to make different areas of a farm. The pupils explored the taste, smell and textures of the cereal then decided which foods would be best to create other areas of the farm based on colour and texture! @Topcliffeschool pic.twitter.com/2Qpky4Yz3z— Mrs Bignall (@MrsB_OTchampion) October 18, 2024
