These are key areas for us, and underpin all learning. When a child is confident, can self-regulate and communicates with others, they can go on to investigate, solve problems and develop a knowledge and understanding of the world. The children are supported to do this through the continuous provision and range of resources that are made available to them every day, e.g. writing materials, counting resources, building blocks, creative equipment sand and water etc. Throughout the day the children have the opportunities to work independently, following their own interests, or in small group work led by an adult.

Regular assessments are used to inform future planning reflecting the children’s needs, these are done through learning and play, using the pupils’ voice. All work is recorded in ‘learning Journey’ books, the children enjoy looking at these books and sharing them with others.
