Continous Provision/ Free-flow
In Reception, our learning revolves around play and children will be given the opportunity to explore and investigate learning with independence. As part of our continuous provision, during the day the children have the opportunity to independently choose which areas they would like to learn in, either the classrooms or our outdoor learning environment. Continuous provision enables the children to explore recent learning, practice new skills and follow their own interests in a variety of different hands-on and practical ways.Throughout the day there are also some whole class teaching sessions and focus groups.
Donations
The children use lots of different materials for arts and crafts. We would welcome donations of items such as pasta, lentils, sequins, buttons and junk modelling (cleaned recycling items e.g. cardboard boxes, plastic bottles etc.) The children are enjoying our water area outside! If you have any old wellington boots you would like to donate to the school, please let your child's class teacher know.

Timetables
Profiles
As your child develops and learns they will start to use their knowledge and skills in a variety of contexts. We would like you to contribute to your child’s Profile and working document, by telling us when your child does something that makes you say “Wow!” This can be anything from using new vocabulary, sharing some new learning or information, holding a pencil correctly, writing, learning how to skip; anything which shows an achievement.
Please find some ‘wow cards’ attached. These can be completed at any time during the school year to share your child’s achievements. When you have completed a card please hand it to your child's class teacher.
Homework
A homework menu will be set each half term. When homework has been set, please choose one task to do every week and return your completed activity, with your homework book, on Wednesday. Your book will be returned on Friday.
