During Lovely Learning, the adults work on the children’s EHCP and SALT targets. They also work 1:1 with children on curriculum learning.

The focus in afternoons is arts & crafts activities. One or two afternoons a week the children visit the Nursery Garden to use the outdoor equipment. We also visit the sand and water area once a week.

Once a week we do PE together. Friday is Show & Tell and Golden Time, when we open the doors and all of the children play together!

When the children are older they work in the KS2 room.

They complete daily maths, literacy, reading and Topic tasks.

One morning a week is art with Miss Benson.

The children also visit the library and eco garden and do team building, social skills and forest school activities.

They often integrate with mainstream classes for PE, phonics and Topic sessions.
