September Fortnightly Plans – All About Me Theme (1st & 2nd Class Autism Class)This resource provides two weeks of structured, theme-based planning for 1st & 2nd Class in an autism class, centred around the topic All About Me. The plans integrate literacy, numeracy, circle time, sensory play, and cross-curricular activities, ensuring pupils engage in meaningful and accessible learning from the beginning of the year.
The plans are designed to:
Support 1st & 2nd Class pupils across a wide range of developmental and ability levels.
Provide clear links to vocabulary, songs, stories, phonics/spelling, and maths topics within the All About Me theme.
Include differentiated activities and sensory-friendly approaches to meet the needs of all learners.
Plan for pupils requiring curriculum access support, including minimally speaking children and AAC users, embedding communication and engagement opportunities throughout.
Save teachers planning time with a ready-to-use framework aligned with Irish curriculum areas while allowing flexibility for child-led learning.
These fortnightly plans ensure learning is inclusive, structured, and engaging, helping pupils explore self-identity, communication, and social connection as they settle into the new school year.
