Our Curriculum

Our Foundation Stage is made up of 2 classes and a total of 45 children.  We share our learning environments with children being based in their own class groups for morning/afternoon routines, adult-led group times and story times.  Throughout the rest of the day, the children will all be together, taking part in child-led activities, across both classrooms and the outside area come rain or shine.

We use the EYFS curriculum Development Matters for our planning, and we base our learning around what we are interested in. Year R will experience 6 Imaginative Learning Projects in a year.

We are confident that our curriculum will instil a curiosity and love of learning/school in our children. It will help them maintain their well-being and provide opportunities for each of them to achieve their full potential. In all activities, we make sure that there is an accessible challenge to extend learning, and we even have a termly curriculum challenge for all the whole school to take part in!

PE

St Peter will continue to take part in our PE lessons on Wednesdays. Please remember your child's PE kits for this day. It is easier if you send your child's PE kit in at the beginning of the term and they can keep it on their peg until the end of the term. This way, they will have it each week. 

Outside learning and safety.

As the weather gets warmer, we aim to spend more time outside for play and learning. Please ensure you have put sun cream on your child in the morning and provide a small bottle for their own application throughout the day. it would be helpful if you have shown them how to apply it to their faces and arms especially. We have provided your child with a school cap, so they do not need to bring these. Please also remember to send your child to school with a water bottle. We do have cups available if this is forgotten.

Home learning

St Peter's class are amazing at returning completed homework! Well done!

Homework will be sent out on Friday and is due back the following Thursday. This will include a reading book that your child will be able to begin to spot, sound and blend some words and phrases together. I appreciate your hard work and dedication towards your children's reading skills – it shows that you are wonderfully supportive.

As the children are progressing with their learning, some will have additional phonics homework. This is to achieve their very best. Please look through these with your children and have them show you the amazing learning that they can do!

As always, thank you for your continuous support.
