A typical day/ routines:
We begin every morning with our RWI phonics sessions, We learn new sounds and develop our blending knowledge so we are ready to read. We also practise writing these sounds so we are ready to start writing words. In the morning, we also have a Maths session, where we learn about and enjoy taking part in lots of practical mathematical activities.
In the morning we also love to learn stories through ‘Talk for writing’ where we can act them out and draw story maps.
During lunch time, through OPAL play, we have a range of zones where we can showcase our creative skills. We get the play with lots of different children from across the school.
In the afternoon, we enjoy joining in with a variety of activities such as Topic, PE and Forest school. We spend time exploring both the indoor and outdoor areas in the afternoons, letting our imaginations take off! We also enjoy exploring a variety of science experiments, where we watch how things change and talk about why things happen.
During our play, we aim to show off our Learning Superpowers with: Resilient Rex, Collaborative Cleo, Thinking Theo, Risk taking Rio, Communicator Coral and Curiosity Cam.
