Pre-School - EYFS 2025 - 2026
Mrs Lorna Cunningham
Welcome to Pre-School; the home of the Pre-School Class!
In EYFS, teacher led activities will be balanced with child initiated learning which will allow the staff to plan activities around ideas such as animals, pirates, fairies, plants, superheroes, dinosaurs and anything else that captures your child's imagination. The children access indoor and outdoor provision every day and can choose from a variety of activities that best suit them or interest them the most. We operate as an EYFS unit which consists of both our Pre-School and Reception children working alongside one another.
Mrs Cunningham will be teaching the children on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Mrs Daniela Pilliner will be teaching the children on Friday.
Autumn term 2025
This term, we’re diving into the magical world of traditional tales, starting with the much-loved story of The Gingerbread Man! Through storytelling, play, and creative activities, children will explore characters, settings, and sequencing.
We’ll also be observing the wonders of seasonal change, as Autumn unfolds around us, and learning about the importance of Harvest time. Our celebrations this term will take us around the world and through our community as we explore Diwali, Bonfire Night, and the festive excitement of Christmas.
It’s a season full of wonder, discovery, and celebration — and we can't wait to share it with our Pre-School children!
