Thinkers

Hi, my name is Miss Lyons and I am the Thinkers’ class teacher in the Speech and Language Provision. I am excited to meet you all next year.
This will by my 5 year at Glenfield Primary School and am passionate about supporting children with a variety of SEND needs. I specialise in supporting children to communicate in a variety of ways including Makaton, PECS and through Communication Boards.
My favourite subjects to teach are English, Music and DT as I believe these allow children to show their imagination and creativity. I am looking forward to continuing to support the Thinkers’ pupils to progress academically, emotionally and with their social communication.
Thank you for your continued support.
Miss Lyons
September 2025 update
Thinkers have been busy in DT making windmills linked to our science and geography topics about the weather and the seasons.
The children learnt about how to make a structure stable and how to make the sails spin on an axle.





October 2025 update
We have started our new writing topic - the story of The Gingerbread Man.
We have really enjoyed joining in with the storytelling by saying 'run, run as fast as you can'. We have also sequenced the different parts of the story so that we were able to do some writing about the story.
Our favourite part has been acting out the story with all of us taking on different characters.
Look at our pictures below and see if you can work out which character we are.


November 2025 update
After working hard in our writing lessons retelling the story of The Gingerbread Man, Thinkers enjoyed baking some gingerbread men.
They read the recipe carefully, and measured out the correct amount of each ingredient before decorating their biscuits. We practised our fine motor skills by rolling out the dough and using the cookie cutters carefully. Not many biscuits made it home though as they tasted too good.
