Whitings Hill Primary School

The Caterpillar Room

We are thrilled to introduce a special new project: the development of a sensory room/low arousal space (the Caterpillar Room). This room is designed to support the many pupils who need a calming environment during the school day. 

If you are able to help, we would greatly appreciate donations. You can contribute by purchasing items from our Amazon Wish List (https://amzn.eu/eIhYSiR).  

The room will include areas such as:

  • sensory calm zone with fidget toys, soft cushions, and beanbags and tactile wall
  • sensory circuits area to meet movement-based sensory needs. This will include equipment like a peanut ball, hand massager and sit and spin wheel.  
  • Work station areas for specific pupils to help them access their personalised learning in a low arousal space.

You can read more about this project in our first SEND Newsletter: SEND_newsletter_1_Oct_2024.pdf 

Thank you for your continued support.
