We continue to build on the children’s previous knowledge of literacy. We believe the learning should continue to be fun. For example, reinforcing recognition of letters may take the form of drawing letters in sand, making floor size letters with shoes or bending bodies into letter shapes. Names are emphasised by use of labelled pegs and places at tables.

Children may play number games, sing number songs or may be asked to count fruit in a bowl. Yoga, French, football, music and dance is offered as an optional extra.

Outdoor play can begin to hold more of a challenge when they race in teams across an obstacle course or use a magnifying glass to find mini-beasts. We encourage children to express themselves in different ways, including through drama, song and dance.
