This week the children in Sophie’s class have been learning all about Autumn. We have used lots of different autumnal coloured paints for mark making, fallen leaves for creating our own autumn tress and explored different sensory textures in our tuff tray. Our number rhyme was ‘5 Current Buns’ and we enjoyed counting the buns and exchanging our pennies with each other. 

Middlesbrough Council are  hoping to organise a Parent/Carer conference for parents/carers of children with SEND (taking place in Jan 2025). The conference aims to provide an opportunity for our SEND parent/Carers to gain greater awareness of SEND developments, structures, and services in Middlesbrough from key professionals and senior leaders across education, health, and social care. It will also be an opportunity to work together to identify key priorities for the new SEND and Inclusion Strategy which will be published in 2025.

Please scan the QR code to submit your views which will then directly feed into the conference. This is a great opportunity to give Parent/Carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities in Middlesbrough, a chance to give us some feedback and have a voice.
