The Speech and Language Class at Ballykelly Primary School is a specialised class for children in Primaries 1-4 who have a Specific Language Impairment (SLI). The class offers teaching covering all aspects of the Northern Ireland Curriculum but with extra emphasis being placed on language development.
This year our teacher is Mrs McAuley and our classroom assistant is Mrs Ford. We will learn lots of exciting things in Primary One based around our topics; Houses and Homes, Celebrations, Animal crackers and Down into the Woods. We will learn about our topics through exploring the playroom and our outdoor quad.
