This is our pre-school room! This room has a capacity of 18 pre-schoolers on a one to eight ratio. We pride ourselves on having a calming yet welcoming environment to engage the children in developing in all areas.Our curriculum priorities for our pre-school room is to support the children in building strong social skills and to strengthen their turn-taking skills. The staff will implement the start of phonics (phase one and two). There will be an emphasis on supporting children in their emergent writing skills, number knowledge and pattern awareness.

The staff will support the children in furthering their independence through the use of helping roles, self registration and problem solving activities. In Owls there will be a focus on school readiness to ensure that the children who are moving to school have a smooth transition and have developed the skills that they need for school.

The staff will set up lots of different activities and provocations to support the children's continuous learning throughout the day. Some examples are threading activities,  yoga, story sequencing and a variety of mathematical themed activities.
