We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum which uses continuous play and exploration to learn. Adults plan both adult led and child initiated activities that enable the children to develop social skills, self confidence and independence in a range of contexts.
Please remember to bring:
In case of accidents all children need;
- A spare set of clothes; including pants, socks, a top and bottoms, which remain at school in their locker.
They also need;
- their book bag and water bottle everyday.
- no laces on school or PE shoes, velcro fastenings are ideal for this age.
