West Blatchington Primary and Nursery School

Wrens Class is taught by Mrs Uzor and supported by Mrs Brandson

In Reception, we teach through the EYFS currciulum which includes a mixture of carpet session, adult focus groups and independent activites. Our phonics is taught through Read Write Inc (more info here) and we also have daily carpet sessions on English and Maths.  Each half term we have a new topic which we use to excite and inspire our children with fantastic activites in both our indoor and outdoor areas. We believe children learn best through play where they can practicaly applying new skills and

knowledge. This includes opportunities for cooking, dressing up, holdign animals and much more

These activities are carefully planned to ensure progression of skills and knowledge.  Adults join in with play regularly, taking the opportunity to model skills and vocabualry within play scenarios. This includes support staff who closely work alongside class teachers, observing children, leading focus groups and leading intervention groups.

The Early Years classes benefit from being able to access the wider school’s facilities such as using pads, cooking in the technology room and enjoying further outdoor learning within our Wildlife Garden.
