Throughout school we offer a mixture of learning through structured “play” experiences and  focused teaching opportunities. In planning we take account of the different learning styles, interests and levels of attainment in order to organise an environment which helps children to engage with their learning intellectually, emotionally and physically. Adult interactions are informed by knowledge of child development and how children learn as well as by the content of the National Curriculum.

Reading areas offer a cosy corner to share a book. Listening centres and puppets are also available.

Writing areas provide a children with the opportunity to use a range of mark making resources. Sticky tape, paper fasteners and range of paper and card are also available.

Collage and construction areas enable the children to develop a range of D&T skills, such as cutting, joining, planning and evaluating.

Small world areas encourage story-telling and stimulate the children's imaginations. We use a range of natural and man-made resources.

A range of malleable materials are always available. Through adult modelling and support the children develop a range of techniques and skills which they are able to practise independently.
