Activities at Whirley Pre-School

All our activities are planned in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage and encompass Every Child Matters.

We work around a theme for a half term and incorporate child initiated learning into our planning.

Wherever possible we have “freeflow play” where the children can select what they do – whether inside or outside.

Children will be given opportunities to:

play alone and with other children
take turns and care for one another
speak and listen
experience a range of sensory materials
paint, glue, crayon, chalk and use scissors
model with construction, play-doh, clay, etc.
dress up and pretend
cook and bake
gain early numeracy and literacy skills (Jolly Phonics)
dance, sing and play with musical instruments
listen to stories and enjoy books
use computers and programmable toys
explore outside and find out about the world around us
and most of all make new friends and have lots of fun!
