What a great start to 2024 our Reception children have had. With a new year and a new term well underway, the children are getting to grips with the many learning opportunities available to them both in the classroom and in the outdoor learning area.
In Early Years, children learn through playing, exploring and being active, and much of the learning in the EYFS is child initiated. All seven areas of the curriculum are used by our Early Years teachers to plan learning activities suited to each child’s individual needs. All children have access to a range of learning activities both inside and outside the classroom that support their own progress. Children are encouraged to work both independently when making their own learning choices and also to work collaboratively with others.
EYFS staff make regular detailed assessments of all children to ensure that good progress is made by all children. These observations are recorded on Tapestry which is an online platform that parents have access to view from home. Observations from home and school can be shared on this platform by video, picture and written observations.
We took some pictures of our wonderful children enjoying playing and learning together, which can be seen in the gallery below. Please click on the thumbnails for a larger view.
