Resource Provision Y1 - Butterflies 2025 - 2026
Mrs O'Hara Butterflies
Hi! I am Roisin and I have been working at Woodlands Primary School for twelve years now. After many years teaching at Woodlands, I am excited to be taking on this new role in Butterflies.
When I am not in school, I am usually reading a good book on my kindle with a coffee and cake, playing with my one-year-old baby girl, Heidi, or doing some shopping at Cheshire Oaks! I also like to spend as much time as I can visiting my family and friends.
I am very excited to be your new teacher and cannot wait to have lots of fun learning together and helping you to blossom into the best you can be!
Welcome to Butterflies.
Butterflies is a resourced provision class for Year 1 aged children with an environment that primarily focuses on early communication and interaction skills. Children in Butterflies follow the same themes as our mainstream Year 1 classes, with their learning personalised to meet their individual needs and continue their progression from Reception, whether that was in our Acorns class or elsewhere. Most of the activities are child led, with a focus on their individual targets outlined in the child’s EHCP. Adults will also lead on other activities that are planned to ensure development and progression across key areas of learning.
We have a beautiful classroom for Butterflies and a fabulous outdoor learning environment that the children access regularly throughout the day.
Within our classroom, staff ensure the children have access to resources and activities throughout the school day that are carefully chosen to engage the children in their learning, which reflect their interests, and in doing so, meet the needs of each unique child. Each week there will be some phonics, maths and literacy activities, opportunities to learn about the world, music, art and ‘messy play’.
Each area of learning within Butterflies has been designed and developed to promote opportunities for social and communication interactions to develop early communication skills. The experienced adults in the room consistently model to the children, using visuals, simple language and objects of reference to move children’s learning forward. Resources are carefully placed to support and develop children’s communication skills as they work with adults or as the child works independently.
Within Butterflies, we also offer an environment and resources that provide opportunities for emotional regulation, such as our cushion corner, with bean bags, blankets and cushions, and our sensory toys. Within our classroom, adults use visuals, simple language and objects of reference to develop and support children’s early social communication and emotional regulation needs. The space can be used to support co regulation to meet children’s sensory needs so they are therefore ready to learn.
