I'm so pleased and excited because I have been asked to work in a special needs school all day tomorrow.

The only information I have been given is:
There are 6 children in the class (Y5)who are described as having severe learning difficulites and some of the children are autistic.
I will have a TA.
The work is set but to take some goodies in my bag just in case.

I have read about the school on the net and found out that the school uses EQUALS for their curriculum guidelines and PIVATS to measure annual progress. These are both unfamiliar to me although I have found some useful websites that give me more info on these

Just wondered if anyone had any general advice or

(I don't want to pitch the activities too high but don't want to seem patronising either!)

Thanks in advance

I think I'd take in an old shoe, or an old bicycle tyre, or an old something that didn't look new, like it had had a life. And I'd get the kids to tell me stories about how it had got that dent, who had tied the laces, who found it, if the shoe could talk, would it ask for a bit of polish, but no spit, or would it be longing to tell of all the places it had been. Would it write to the papers to plead with the nation to not throw chewing gum on the pavement?

Or take a bag. Put in bus ticket, hairbrush, etc., etc., and get the kids to tell you who's bag it is, where are they going, how come they lost it. etc. etc.

Things like this can be adapted to any children, if it's little ones, take in a teddybear etc. They can do art from it, lots of literacy of course, PSHE about lost/found/police etc.

Hope that helps a little...
