Turtle Class

There are nine children in Turtle Class, 2 girls and 7 boys. Our class is based at Brooklands Alexander Road site. We have a teacher (Leah), two lead teaching assistants (Daisy and Di) and four TAs who help us to learn. 

We follow the Brooklands green curriculum pathway which you can read about on the "Green curriculum" page. Within Turtle Class we have an ASD-specific approach to learning, blending therapeutic input with sensory activities and more formal learning opportunities. If you would like to contact us then our email address is: turtleclass@brooklands.surrey.sch.uk 

Turtle class is a very fun and busy place to be! We are always on the go and enjoy doing lots of activities. We enjoy engaging in physical activities such as swimming, soft play and horse riding. Some of our favourite activities include Attention Autism sessions, music & singing and sensory exploration/tactile play.

In Turtle Class we use lots of different methods of communication including signing, symbols, body language and our voices. As a class, we are working really hard to develop our communication, extend our attention and engagement skills and further develop our turn taking, sharing and social interaction skills.
