We offer a wide range of free choice indoor and outdoor activities. The choice of outdoor activities include: scooters, bats and balls, dolls and prams, vets and pets, cars, skittles, giant Jenga, themed activities and trails. The choice of indoor activities include - quiet play including board games, construction kits such as K'nex, Lego, Magformers; role play including dressing up, café and home corner.
Children have the opportunity to take part in art and craft activities using various mediums and natural materials. There are also opportunities to use Play-Doh and clay for sculpture and structured activities such as baking
We theme some of our activities around seasonal changes and festivals from a range of faiths and cultures.
We make good use of the school’s extensive library for quiet reading, doing any home-learning activities and independent research that the children may be interested in from the range of reference material available.
There are occasions when we can use the school hall for activities – particularly when the weather is inclement, and we have access to educational computer-based activities as well as a games console in our computer suite.
