Through the use of puppets and talk time the children will be encouraged to express their feelings and talk through any worries they have. They will be encouraged to be independent and gain confidence in what they do.

Knowledge and understanding of the world
Children will have opportunities to explore the world around them through investigating, recording and having hands on experience in different areas such as planting, sand and water play, magnets and computer skills.

Children have at least two play times a day, hopefully weather permitting most of the day can be spent outside investigating and covering all areas of the foundation stage. Children will have opportunities to ride bikes, throw, catch, build and climb.
