What the children say... 

In our EYFS unit we plan according to the children's interests. We spend time talking to the children, asking them what they already know and what they would like to find out.

 Our weekly themes are led by the children. Each week we share ideas and then pick a theme for the coming week.

Our PE days for both classes are:

  • Tuesday 
  • Thursday 

 

RE learning 

In Religious Education, we will be learning about different celebrations and festivals which link to the heritage of some of the children.
