They make vegetable soup and persevere when using knives to cut up carrots, parsnips and onions. Children are full of excitement when they cut open a pepper and find some tiny seeds. They suggest that they could put them in some soil and watch them grow. Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities and children who speak English as an additional language are extremely well supported. The excellent use of objects, signs, symbols and visual timetables helps the
