The Primary Room
Our Primary Room provides for the care and developmental needs of our 3-4 year olds. Children have access to a wide range of play and learning opportunities, for example, reading and writing activities, story time, story bags, listening to taped stories, early number work, computer activities, puzzles, role play, music and movement, creative activities, sand and water play, malleable and dough activities, technology, construction, small world activities, cookery, gardening and learning French.
Children also take part in our ‘Letters and Sounds’ teaching programme which gives children the skills they require to begin to learn to read, write and spell. This programme continues in our Pre-School.
Children enjoy regular opportunities for physical outdoor play and are supported by staff to explore and find out about the natural world around them (for example, investigating the weather, mini beasts, gardening and growing things such as flowers, fruit and vegetables). They have access to their own ‘free flow’ outdoor play area so they are able to choose for themselves whether to be indoors or out.
Children’s Personal, Social and Emotional skills are developed and they learn about respect for cultural diversity and about keeping themselves healthy and safe. Staff members support children to make good and steady progress within the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.
