• Curriculum Maps

We are always very busy and our learning happens in lots of ways. You will see us playing or is that what we are really doing? 

For example, some of us were fishing in the water. But what were we catching? Numicon pieces and matching them to the corresponding digit. We worked together to decide who had which piece and which number should match it. We listened to each other really carefully and helped each other to solve the problem and organise our catch!

In Early Years, we learn to become independent and think for ourselves. We learn to overcome problems and think how we would change things if we were to do them again. 

We have daily phonics sessions when we learn new letters and their sounds and then we use them in our reading and writing. We also follow Pathways to Write, where we enjoy lots of new books and base our reading and writing around each text. We believe becoming a skilled, attentive reader starts at the earliest stages. We work hard on our number skills in a daily taught session and also in our own time in the Maths area. 

In the afternoons we focus on learning about our world, history and geography. We have i-pads and interactive whiteboards in each classroom. We also get to take part in Forest School. Each half term we have a session where we do activities from ranging from learning about forest animals to toasting marshmallows.

We have snack available all day, where we enjoy healthy fruit and vegetables and a drink of water.
We always give new learners and visitors a friendly welcome, so come and see our exciting environment.
