Panda Class is Southtown Primary School's Specialist Resource Base.

We specialise in supporting the Speech Language and Communication needs of ten children from primary schools across the local area and beyond. 

The children are supported by a specialist teacher, an HLTA and a TA, all trained to work alongside our Speech therapy colleagues to help the children improve their communication skills and return to their mainstream classes Our speech therapists are in the SRB for two days each week.

All of our children have access to the full Foundation Stage or Key Stage 1 curriculum and also have lots of opportunities to join in with activities and events within the school.

Our Learning this Half Term

Our curriculum focus for the second half of the spring term is on Animals Including Humans. We will be comparing animals and learning about animal groups and the features of mammals, fish, reptiles, birds and amphibians. We will find out about African animals and the habitats that they live in. We will also think about pets and how we care for them.

We will continue our outdoor learning, using the school environment to learn about seasonal changes in the spring and about the animals that live in our school environment.

Have a look at our Curriculum Plan for the term to see some of the other learning that the children will be doing across the curriculum this half term.
