Pictured above are two examples of Ruby’s alternative afternoon program.  Each week she has opportunities to ride her bike at school and spend time with Jasper the mostly friendly pony…unless he is being asked to hop on the float…then he runs off and hides under low hanging branches! ?  The bike Ruby is pictured on is a special trike that encourages successful pedal movement and balance for SWAN. 

Pictured below are two examples of Ruby’s new maths work.  We try to find and/or develop activities that have a physical component to them to help with making connections from thinking to hand movement.   In the activities pictured you can see the counters go onto the pictures whilst counting aloud and then the correct numeral needs a peg.  In the next picture you can see a book which is the initial part of the lesson about a boy who builds a rocket out of 2D shapes of particular colours.  Once Ruby and adult have read the book she can complete the two sheets with whiteboard markers…shapes and colours.
