The Early Years Unit - Ducklings and Ducks
We are the Ducklings!
We are the Ducks!
Children can start in the Early Years Unit on a part-time basis in the term following their 3rd birthday. The older children attend from 8.45 to 11.45. Younger children attend from 12.45 to 3.30.
Our Early Years classes are called Ducklings and Ducks.
Uniform is optional in the Early Years Unit. The children follow the Foundation Stage of education, learning mainly through structured play.
The Early Years Unit teacher, Sheila Dawson and support assistants Sue Wood, Allie Jefcoate and Kate Young, work together to provide a happy and successful start to your child’s school career.
Learning is always exciting and fun in Early Years.
We had a busy first two weeks with all our new children visiting their families and you can see from the pictures that a very happy time was had by all.
"Look how hard I am concentrating"
"I worked really hard to fit all the pieces in the right place."
"What a careful train driver."
Having some delicious food with mum
All the children new to Ducks and Ducklings are now settling in nicely.
Our first topic was on 'Bears' and the Ducks children brought their Bears to school to meet all their school friends.
We have also been busy painting to make a display of one of our favourite books - 'Going On A Bear Hunt' - with our friends in Swan's class.
