Pre School

What it means to be three….

Your Three year old is very curious about the world and will be trying to find every way possible to explore that curiosity. The phrase “let me do it” will be very familiar to you and they will be trying to help you. The Pre school classroom is a very calm room environment with a structure to their day to support children throughout their day with a balance of child and adult led activities.

How does the pre school classroom support my child?

Throughout the routine, opportunities such as self serve snack and child led activities will help to develop your child’s self confidence and self awareness. Managing feelings and making relationships are also an Important part of the ethos and will be supported by your child’s key person.

By providing a rich environment full of varied resources and a robust ethos, children are able to feel confident and become active learners ready to explore and investigate the world around them.

Upon your child starting the pre school classroom they will be supported by their key person with skills such as:

Toileting
Hand washing
Self serve snack and lunch
Putting on a coat, slippers and apron
Selecting activities of choice independently
Rules and boundaries
“Staff are thoughtful, compassionate and caring. They treat all children with the utmost respect and encourage them to express their views and talk about their feelings. As a result, children form very secure attachment’s with their key person” (OFSTED)

Letters and Sounds

Our Letters and Sounds activities are a great way for children to practice listening and attention ready for those longer periods in school.  Staff  use language appropriately, give children time to respond to questions asked and really tune into what children are saying. The Letters and Sounds program is completed with the children each day, working on a different aspect each week. Each aspect encourages children to develop letter sounds , develop good listening, good sitting and oral blending and segmenting. Ready Teddy Go also focus on a letter sound each week from the Jolly Phonics range, this also develops letter sound knowledge. Singing the jolly phonics songs and reading the stories is a fun way for the children to learn letter sounds and introduce reading and writing.

Mathematics

The Pre school class room has math opportunities throughout the environment, maths is incorporated into every day activities to support children with their mathematical skills. The children are engaged in a wide range of activities at different times throughout the day with adult and child led activities. Number rhymes and singing sacks are also implemented during group times.

Outdoor Classroom

Children need outdoor play as much as indoor and given the choice, most children will play outdoors. Children are able to access the outdoor classroom during free flow times During that time children will have access to space with opportunities to be their natural, exuberant physical and noisy selves, have contact with natural and living things to maintain their curiosity and fascination with all living things
Lots of opportunities to set themselves challenges and take risks
The outdoor environment must offer children experiences which have lots of meaning to them and are led by the child.

The Pre School Classroom offers a seamless partnership between the outdoors and indoor environment working in perfect harmony with one another to extend and enhance children’s learning.
