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 together.
Mrs Cunningham will be teaching the children on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Mrs Daniela Pilliner will be teaching the children on Friday.
We had a wonderful Autumn term exploring lots of lovely stories, enjoying our first school trip to Imagine That!, observing seasonal changes and preparing for Christmas! We have a very exciting Spring term ahead and this half term we will be focusing on traditional tales. Some of the traditional tales that we plan to delve into include "The Gingerbread Man", "Jack and the Beanstalk", "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Magic Porridge Pot". We will also be learning about Chinese New Year and Valentines Day! It's going to be another busy half term but we are really looking forward to lots more fun and adventures with your little ones!
