Welcome back

It has been lovely to see the old Foundation children come back after summer as really grown up Year One children.  They came in to school ready to learn and full of excitement, which was amazing to see.

We are looking forward to meeting our new Foundation children over the next two weeks.  We are sure they will have a great start to 'big school'.

There has been some exciting developments over the summer holidays.  Part of the Foundation Unit has been turned in to a Year One classroom as the bulge year groups of 90 children move up through the school (Foundation are back to a 60 intake this year).  This has also allowed us to add extra toilets and a small quiet room so the facilities are even better then they were!

We have also been working hard developing the outdoor area further.  We have converted part of it in to a resource village. The children can think about what they are learning, what they want to do and then plan which resources they will need to achieve their outcome.  They will then be able to go and collect everything they need.  We hope that this will help develop their critical thinking, planning, communicating and questioning skills.
