Makaton

We have introduced Makaton signing alongside our speech in Early Years to promote communication and language and also provide an inclusive environment for all. Watch out on the weekly updates for what Makaton sign the children are learning this week!

Welcome to our Reception classes Cherry and Hazel.

Our weekly and daily plan is heavily influenced by the lines of enquiry that the children are interested in pursuing, alongside the continuous assessment by staff, ensuring that every child is gaining the experience and skills that they need to ensure successful outcomes at the end of the Foundation Stage.

8.40am - Welcome, registration, weather report, wake & shake
