EYFS:
Our younger pupils come into school to a range of activities. They use Continuous Provision (Explore and Do) which means that for most of the day, the children have time to self explore within the learning environment, both inside and outside. They have whole class focus times for phonics, maths and other activities. There are also adult directed tasks that children are asked to complete.
They will have a snack mid morning together as a class and then move back to Explore and Do learning.
They break for lunch at about 11.50am where they go down to the hall. They then have lunch play along with the whole school until 1.00pm.
They then have afternoon register followed by more Explore and Do time until about 2.45pm where they will then have a story and whole class time before home time at 3.15pm.
