PALS (Playing and learning to socialise)
This programme is an introduction to social skills and they are essential to help a child adapt to school. It supports children to use a range of socially skilled behaviours such as looking at people when talking to them, listening and not interrupting, follow rules and share/take turns. Parents are asked to support this at home and are sent information sheets home on ideas of how they can support their child.
Multi – sensory group time (small group time)
Let’s talk together
Forest Schools
Every child will be able to take part in Forest Schools which takes place in the local Park. In the park the children can explore the forested area, the paths, walkways and in the forested area the trees, plants and wild life. There are high staff ratios 1:3 with two qualified practitioners. The children are encouraged to be independent, to challenge themselves and take managed risks.
Outdoor play
Everyday the children will be encouraged to go outside where they will have access to the same curriculum as inside. This allows children that prefer to learn by moving around to access all the activities in a more physical way.
