We endeavour to offer a broad and balanced curriculum that prepares our children for the National Curriculum. These long term plans may change in order to pursue areas of specific interests. We give regular curriculum and learning focus updates in the form of ‘topic webs’ which will be shared each term. We plan learning opportunities both indoor, outdoor and through experiences (trips/experience days). Please see some of the exciting learning that takes place below. **Communication and Interaction.** [MRPA Communication & Interaction 1](https://www.youtube.com/embed/ujiidiOU0TA) [MRPA Communication & Interaction 2](https://www.youtube.com/embed/sjtsuer2aRg) **Physical Development** In addition to the variety of outdoor equipment available to support physical development, the children will take part in fun activities like Squiggle, Dough Disco and Make Your Mark. Physical Development is woven into all areas of learning and materials are carefully selected to support the different levels of development from the variety of bikes outside, down to the differentiated crayons, spades and brushes.

We plan opportunities for drama through ‘The Write Stuff’ Literacy framework and role play areas, the children explore different artists and experiment with different media to explore and create their own pieces of art, learn about musicians and composers to begin to develop simple rhythms and record simple scores using instruments. The Power of Reading thematic approach to learning provides the children with a wealth of exciting opportunities that change and develop throughout the school year.
