Learning in the Forest
Forest School offers hands-on learning experiences in woodland and the natural environment. At The Meadows, children in the early years have the opportunity to learn outdoors within our own forested area.
Superhero Writers - Foundation Stage
So many families in Early Years joined us to learn all about early writing and supporting our children in their development - thank you!
Squiggle while you wiggle!
'Squiggle While You Wiggle' uses dance and large movements to help children develop the fine muscle control they need for writing. New gross motor movements are linked to pieces of music. These movements are then used to make marks in many creative ways. Children use these actions to form letters. Our 'Squiggle' morning was a great success, and we welcomed many families to our workshop!
Learning Together
The Early Years Foundation Stage is a vitally important stage of children’s early development, as it is during these years that children begin to develop the learning attitudes, skills, social integration and independence on which the rest of their education is built.
