We would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our new families joining us in Owlet Class. We have a busy year planned, filled with amazing opportunities and experiences to support all children with their learning and development!
In Owlet Class, we have a wide range of thematic activities ready for your children to explore, all based around the seven areas of learning found in the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. These are;
-Communication and Language
-Physical Development
-Literacy
-Maths
-Understanding the World
-Expressive Art and Design
Below you will find our daily timetable outlining what a typical day in Owlet Class would look like as well as our termly topic page. This will support you in finding out more information about what we are learning. We will also share some pictures over the course of the term to share what we have been getting up to!
