A Learning Journey

Reception

 

In the EYFS we take great pride in providing a stimulating and enriching learning environment. We change it on a regular basis to reflect the children’s learning. Our aim is to provide opportunities for the children to explore, engage and discover. Our areas are set up with a variety of resources so the children can be creative learners and use the resources in their own unique ways. We also have activities set up for the children to complete and these reflect their learning so they can apply new skills they have learnt.

Please have a look at our high-quality provision:
Our Classrooms

We have two classrooms and an outside area. You are very lucky because you get to learn in all of them. We plan lots of fun activities and sometimes we like to get messy.

 

Reading Area

We have lots of books in this area.
You can read a book, make up your own story, use the puppets or just relax.

Music Area

This is our music area. We have lots of different instruments for you to play. You and your friends can make your own band and perform for the rest of the class.

 

Small World Area

This is our small world area. This area changes every half term depending on our topic. We have lots of different figures for you to play with. You can make up stories and act them out using the different resources.
