Empowering educators! We loved working with Sacred Heart School, Wadhurst to explore practical strategies for supporting every child. Together, we make inclusion a reality.

Investing in Neurodiversity

Today our entire staff team came together to take part in specialist SEN training, making full use of our inset day to deepen our understanding and strengthen our practice.

We were delighted to be joined by Starjumpz, who delivered an inspiring and highly informative session “Understanding Neurodiversity in Early Years & Primary.” We are proud to continue working closely with Starjumpz, whose expertise brings invaluable knowledge and practical skills to all staff.

The training covered:
Sensory Processing & Regulation Foundations
Practical Regulation Strategies (Autism, PDA & ADHD)
Tools, Interventions & Real-Life Case Studies
Implementation and Planning

It is so important that we come together as a whole school community to hear from professionals in this field, reflect on our own practice, and continually improve how we support our children.

☕️ Neurodiversity Coffee Morning ☕️
We are continuing our parent support group for all Sacred Heart parents who have a child with a diagnosis or feel they may be at the beginning of their journey and want to understand possible signs or symptoms.

This is a safe, supportive space to meet, share experiences, learn from one another, and feel less alone.

Next session: Friday 30th January
8:45 – 9:45am

If you’re a parent of a child who finds transitions challenging or struggles to emotionally regulate their feelings, we would love you to come along.

Please let the office know if you would like to attend.

Together, we learn. Together, we support. 💙

✨Slime Time in Therapy! 🖐💚

Slime isn’t just fun, it’s functional! 🧠 In paediatric occupational therapy, we use slime to support:
💪 Hand strength and fine motor skills (all that pulling, squishing, and stretching!)
✋ Tactile exploration — perfect for children who love (or avoid) different textures.
😌 Self-regulation — squishing slime can be calming and help with focus.
🎨 Creativity & play — children engage, explore, and learn through sensory fun!

👩‍⚕️ Our OT’s love using simple, engaging activities like slime to make therapy feel like play, because when children are having fun, they’re growing their skills too! 🌈

👇 Try it at home! Here’s our favourite slime recipe:
Mix 1/2 cup (120ml) of white glue with 1-2 cups of shaving foam, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, and (1–2) tablespoons of contact lens solution (must contain borax). Slowly add the contact lens solution while stirring until the mixture forms a single blob, then knead with your hands to finish.

Would you try this in your therapy room or at home? Let us know below! 💬👇
