Our Learning Environment
Below are some photographs of our indoor and outdoor classroom this year. Our environment evolves and changes depending on our learning and the needs of the children but our continuous provision provides children with continuous access to learning materials that they can use to develop their learning and experiences in any way they choose.
We are very fortunate to have our own classroom, access to the Pre-School classroom, an outdoor classroom, and extensive school grounds including our Welly Wednesday forest area, school field and use of the infant playground. Ash Class and Willow Class work collaboratively, dividing the provision between the two classes, for all children to explore and find their favourite areas within the EYFS Unit.
Our outdoor classroom
In September, we received a donation from our PTFA to buy new resources for our outdoor classroom. We used this money to buy sports equipment so that we can practise a new sport in our balls area each week. (Our balls area is in our infant playground).
Below is a timetable of which sports we will be learning when. We are excited to see our sports skills progressing over the year, demonstrating many characteristics of effective learning such as resilience, perseverance and being willing to have a go to help us develop a love for sportsmanship, games and teamwork.
Parents can see what we've been learning using their access to Seesaw. Please see Miss Eastham for log in details.
Topics
The EYFS unit (Pre-School and Reception) share topics and plan as a team, as all children free-flow and share the two classrooms and outdoor area. Please click on the topics below to see our topic plans for this year.
