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

We start the day 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. 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.

           

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. 

   

Before lunch it is time for sensory diets and interactions with adults.

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.

   

That brings us to hometime where we look forward to seeing an adult who is picking us up.
