I have started to use a daily activity sheet, which I plan and print out the night before. This is helping to make
sure The children know what we are meant to be doing and when. It also makes me more organised and means time doesn't
run away without getting much done together.
Our lesson for subjects like history and geography only last about 15-20 minutes max or Jessica loses interest (unless
it is project work, she prefers this as she can collect lots of information about the chosen subject). Between planned activites,
Jessica likes to read, be read to, play on the computer, write stories and poems. She does not play with toys
much due to the nature of her disorder but she does like to arrange her toys. She is beginning to play more imaginatively
and prefers toys designed for a much younger child. Jacob likes playing on the computer and construction toys.
His attention span is not very long at the moment so he tends to flit from one thing to another. He loves his Thomas
the Tank Engine toys but I can spend half an hour setting all his track up only to find he has broken it up 5 minutes later
as he has "finished playing with it now".
