The Sunrise Room

Miss Turner is the SENCO and SEND teacher.

Mrs Munsif, Mrs Wright, Mr Raja, Mrs Mohamed, Mrs Begum, Mrs Kaur, Mr Khan, Mrs Rashid are part of our SEND team. They work across school to support the children to access learning in the Sunrise room or in their classrooms.

The sunrise and sensory room offers a sensory curriculum, where teaching and learning is personalised to the individual child to support them to meet their targets.

In the Sunrise Room we set up daily sensory activities based around stories, songs and celebrations. We plan activities using the children's individual targets and guidance from our Educational Psychologist, Occupational Therapists, our Speech and Language Therapists and our Communication and Autism teacher.

In Regents Park Community Primary School we know that music plays a powerful part in our lives and in the lives of the children. Music is a great way to help and connect with children with special needs.

Each week Emma the music lady visits us and she plans sessions based on our current themes and topics and the children's personal interests. The children look forward to seeing what Emma has in her 'magical bag' and they will sing, dance and play instruments alongside Emma and the other adults.

Communication

Children with Special Educational Needs may have additional communication and interaction needs.

In school staff use Widget picture cards for reference and each child has their own Now and Next board.

We are also beginning to teach the children some sign language to enable them to communicate their wants and needs.

Can you support your child by using these signs at home?
