Welcome To The

Little Learners Homepage

In Little Learners we can use all the school facilities including the large hall, which we use for P.E, and assembly.  We also use the school library.  We attend school assemblies, Christmas plays and fund raising events.  

Regular visits from the reception class teacher and other staff enable a smooth transition from pre-school to reception.

We encourage all parents to play an active part in their child’s pre-school education.  If parents would like to help in Little Learners, times can be arranged with Lisa.   

As well as helping there are many other opportunities throughout the year to visit Little Learners, Christmas plays, fund raising events, information afternoons, and informal gatherings with the committee.  All parents receive a weekly parents page telling you details of the topic and educational activities that will be taking place.  

During the spring term parents are invited to meet with us to discuss your child’s progress and Early Learning Goal Assessments.  For the children going into reception in September another meeting will be held in June/July with Lisa and Miss Morris, the reception teacher.

Outside we use all the grounds including the playground, field, and forest area.  

The school field and playground are extensive areas where the children can play games and practice physical skills.  The playground has a variety of games painted on to promote literacy and numeracy skills. Furthermore we have a wide variety of equipment to play with.

  Forest School is an innovative development for learning in an outdoor setting. It is based on building confidence, boosting self esteem and encouraging an appreciation of the natural environment whilst allowing children the freedom to experience unfamiliar challenges and take controlled risks.  

  Little Learners use the woods regularly with Lisa, our Forest School leader, and other Little Learner staff. We enjoy going out in all weathers wearing waterproof overalls. We have enjoyed looking for mini beasts and leaves.  We can dig and make dens.  We have used dens we’ve made for role play stories like The Three Little Pigs and Hansel and Gretel.   

As the trees provide a lot of shade it is an ideal area for outdoor play when it is hot and sunny.
