In Dragon class we have 8 children, the children are a mixture of year 1, 2 and 3 age. We follow the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and adapt it to the individual needs of each child, as well as incorporating the Early Years Red curriculum of Brooklands school and elements of the Green Curriculum. At this early developmental stage of the children’s learning, it is important to nurture their play, preferences and choices. Dragon class is based at the Wray Park Brooklands school site and has 2 Teachers, a full time LTA and four full time TA`s.

In Dragon class we are all using our own ways to communicate about what we are doing whether that is through speech, signing, objects of reference, body language or using various visual communication aids both high and low tech. Our class is a fun and busy place to be and are always exploring different things linked to our topic and hooks. Each day we start with sensory circuits and we have breaks throughout the day where we use sensory circuits to support our emotional regulation. In Dragon class our favourite sessions in the day are the irresistible inputs and attention autism because we love all the different sensory approaches to learning.

We also have regular slots in soft play, multi-sensory room, swimming pool, swing room, the library and in our beautiful sensory garden; all of which are spaces that support us with our learning.
