Shells – Sheringham Woodfields School

Welcome to Shells

Teacher - Shells Jen Armstrong

Welcome to SHells!

We are a class of 8 energetic children and 4 adults who love to play! We use total communication throughout the day and are learning how to express our needs and wishes.

We learn best through hands on experiences, including outside learning, finding out about food and sensory play.

We really enjoy the routine of our day, and the individual sensory input that is so important to each of us.
