Key Documents and Information
Independence
We love to foster independence in your children, so we encourage them to put on and take off their coats and hang on their peg, and to practice using their zips and buttons. They will also have opportunities to pour their own milk, help to prepare their snack, practice putting wellies on and off and being able to use the toilet.
Oracy
Oracy is the skill to be an effective communicator and is a focus at Preschool. We will encourage your child to be a 'successful language learner', by promoting a love of books, listening to and retelling favourite stories and also making up their own stories. The children have plenty of opportunities to listen and talk to each other.
