Ethos and Vision for our children
Ethos and Vision for our children
Our children are at the heart of everything that we do and we build our curriculum around their needs and interests. We observe, assess, teach and review impact through 'In the moment planning' using play as the vehicle for learning. Our children free flow through out the day between engaging and purposefully organised inside and outside environments. Early reading, writing, phonics and maths skills are taught in short directed teaching inputs, the children then apply these skills independently in our enabling environment. The children's interests drive the themes for our learning journey enquiry question as well as seasonal changes and celebrations. We aim to capture the awe and wonder of childhood making every moment memorable so our children learn deeply and can apply their skills in different contexts. We build a strong home school partnership to ensure our children feel secure and blended learning is consistent and playful.
To find out more about our EYFS ethos and vision please refer to our EYFS policy.

What does provision look like for those with additional needs in Starfish and Angelfish class?
Outlined in the document below are the waves of provision we use to support children with additional needs. Support is tailored to each individual and provided as needed, with or without a diagnosis. Please talk to your child's class teacher if you have any concerns about your child, their needs or the provision in class. You can find further information on the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities page on our website. This is where you will find our vision for SEND pupils, and our SEND information report which outlines what we as a school can offer.

Speech and Language support - how can you help your child?
Communication is a key building block for all children to thrive in every aspect of their life. Your support at home with this is not only much appreciated, but also an essential element of their development. For tips and ideas about how you can do this, have a look at the Speech and Language Link parent Portal:

How will I know what my child will be learning in school and how can I support this at home?
On Evidence Me we upload wow moments for your child where they have demonstrated meeting a next step or goal that they were aiming towards.
We will share with you your child's individual learning plan which outlines their next steps for each aspect of learning. We capture the child's and parent's voice when co-creating this plan to ensure that we all work together to meet the needs of your child. Your child's first plan will be shared with you during parent consultations. This are TBC.
Our parent phonics workshop is on TBC at 6pm. More details will follow soon.
Once the children have settled into their new learning environment we will invite parents in for stay and play sessions and to support with reading.
We will send home each term a knowledge organiser. In the below sections you can find the knowledge organiser for this term and an explanation of what a knowledge organiser is.

Learning Journey Enquiry Question - How Does Passion Fuel Design?
Learning Journey Enquiry Question - How Does Passion Fuel Design?
We begin the term by reading our key text 'The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch' and designing lighthouses and different delicious lunches that Mr Grinling might like to eat. This leads us into learning more about the sea, different sea creatures and importantly, how we can look after our oceans. Our trip to the Sealife Centre at the end of the term will enable the children to see different sea creatures we have learnt about and apply their learning from our key texts.
This term we have a big focus on transition and ensuring the children feel supported in their move to year 1. We learn about clownfish and jellyfish and how these will be the names of our year 1 classes, make visits to the year 1 classrooms and have stories with the year 1 teachers. The key text 'Worrysaurus' will support the children to know that it is okay to have worries, but that they can draw on special people, objects and memories to remind them that they are courageous and can do tricky things.

Learning Journey Enquiry Question - What Do Plants Do For Us?
Learning Journey Enquiry Question - What Do Plants Do For Us?
In the first part of this term we think about our own experiences of Easter, how we celebrate Easter and learn about the Easter Story that underpins many Easter traditions.
We then move onto practising the skill of skipping ready for our May Pole Dancing performance!
Our topic this term is ‘What do plants do for us?’ We will be exploring this question through planting our own runner beans, writing diaries to track the growth of our plants and through engaging with our key texts: Jack and the Beanstalk and It Starts With a Seed . We will link back to our learning about harvest time to think about what plants do for us. The children’s interests will also be used as a vehicle for learning.

Learning Journey Enquiry Question - Whose World is it Anyway?
Learning Journey Enquiry Question - Whose World is it Anyway?
The first part of this term we focus on getting to know each other! The children explore their new indoor and outdoor spaces, they make new friends and get to know the adults who look after them. The adults play and chat to the children, getting to know them all, what they like to do and how they learn.
We begin by learning all our new routines with a particular focus on listening skills and Carpet time expectations.
Our school value focus this term is courage and we have been encouraging resilience and independence right from the start! All our children are showing that they can be a 'tough tortoise' and have settled so well enjoying all their new experience and challenges. Look out for a small tortoise coming home as a special reminder that your child can face new challenges with a smile, secure in the knowledge that we are here to help support them along the way!
Our topic this term is ‘Whose world is it anyway?’ We will be exploring this question through the theme of farms, journeys and autumn with our key texts: The Hare and the Tortoise, Handa's Surprise and Little Red Hen. We will learn about different food and where they grow and learn how food is harvested at harvest time. The children’s interests will also be used as a vehicle for learning. This term they have shown an interest in:
Imaginative play (Construction site, dressing up and home corner)
Creating and crafting (Portraits, colour mixing and using a range of craft materials)
Vehicles (Trains, cars, monster trucks)
