The foundation stage children follow themes throughout term time, these may last from 1-3 weeks depending on the childrens interests. Themes vary from manners, friendship and sharing to people who help us. For the pre-school children we also offer weekly french lessons and have also had a music lady in to do some sessions with the children.

Time to sit and play on a computer, look at a book or use work books and work sheets.

10:30am

Snack time when children seperate into three groups. Time to help share out drinks and chosen snack. Snack time finishes with a group story or songs and rhymes.

11:00am

Outside play starts. Children go out in their own groups. The younger children go out first. There is time to play on the numerous bikes and cars or to play on the climbing frame. There is also a sand boat and during the summer the water trough is out.

11:40am

We meet in two groups for story and singing time. Then it is time for home, or lunch if staying longer than a morning session.

Yes, we can do all this in just a session!
