Welcome the Rainbow Fish! Please click on this link to have a look at the welcome booklet for the SLCN designated unit.

Rainbow Fish is a resourced unit for children with speech, communication and language difficulties. We are based in 3 classrooms where the children; learn both though adult-directed and self-led learning. The environments is created with the consideration of all the children in the unit. We also have access to a sensory room where the children can meet their sensory need.

We also explore 2 outdoor areas; The Garden and Foundation Stage

A Typical Day in Rainbow Fish Class

Children in our explorational pathway start their day by participating in TACPAC. They develop their communication skills through touch and movement.

Then, everyone starts by saying good morning and then we participate in sensology. This is where we associate each day with a colour and a smell.

After this, it is time for some physical activity in Foundation Stage, our garden or on the big playground. We also get to play alongside our reception peers.

Next, its snack time. The children get to communicate their wants using a communication board. When they have finished or want more, they use a communication strip to indicate this.

Then it is time for free play. The children get to explore the environment whilst adults support them to work on their individual targets.

Our first session of the day is either English or mathematics. We use practical and sensory inputs to engage the children, using signs and symbols to help support their learning. We follow this with a focus activity that is differentiated to each individual child's needs.

Next, it is time for sensory diets and interactions with adults. Before lunch, we participate in our core word/phonics session, where we learn our word or sound of the week and engage in attention autism time.

After lunch we continue with another carpet input, which will be English or Mathematics. We have an afternoon snack, then we complete a topic session and focus task.
