A Day in Little School
As you might expect, Little School is a miniature version of Greenfield School in both atmosphere and productivity. Our smallest children are kept very busy, with a schedule of activities and rest time that ensures they get the most out of every day they spend with us.
The 7 Areas of Learning
During each day, all 7 areas of learning are available through teacher-led activities and continuous activities. The 7 areas of learning are:
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED)
- Communication and Language
- Physical Development
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design.
Daily Schedule
Below is an example of what a day in Little School might look like:
| 07:30 | Arrival/Breakfast. A delicious selection of cereal, crumpets, toast and toppings. |
| 09:00 | Busy Fingers session focussing on fine motor skills |
| 10:00 | Snack time. Fruit three times per week, fresh bread once per week and a biscuit once per week. |
| 10:30 | A jazzy, jangly music session with one of our specialist music staff. |
| 12:00 | Lunch time – will it be a delicious curry or yummy bolognese? |
| 12:30 | Phew! Time for a rest. After a nap, there is time for child-led learning and transitional free-play with our many interesting resources and equipment. |
| 14:30 | Snack time |
| 15:00 | Outdoor play or a buggy & toddler walk around the grounds/forest school |
| 16:00 | Afternoon tea – will it be vegetable tagine, chilli con carne or everyone’s favourite: fish fingers! |
| 16:30-18:00 | Home time. The children enjoy more indoor/outdoor free play whilst they wait for home time. Wherever possible, your child’s key person will provide an in-person handover and let you know what they have been up to. |
Your child’s daily care diary will be updated on Tapestry at the end of each day.
