Our EYFS Vision

‘Learning, growing

and succeeding together’

 

Intent Statement

 Our school vision statement

'Learning, growing

and succeeding together'

underpins our culture and ethos

in the Early Years

at Whitnash Primary School.

We are passionate about children

being happy, confident

and kind individuals

 with a love for learning.

 

We believe that the

Early Years Foundation Stage

is crucial in securing solid foundations

that children continue to build upon

throughout their school life.

It is our aim that the children

who enter our EYFS develop physically,

verbally, cognitively and emotionally

whilst embedding a positive attitude

to school and learning.

We provide an engaging curriculum

that maximizes opportunities

for meaningful cross-curricular links

and learning experiences, as well as

promoting the unique child by offering

extended periods of play

and sustained thinking.

This is facilitated by warm,

skillful adult interactions

which support the children

as they link learning to their play

 and exploration, and builds on each individual child’s

needs and interests.

 

We work in partnership with our families,

previous settings and other external

agencies to provide the best possible start

at Whitnash Primary School.

We believe that all children deserve to be

valued as an individual and we are

passionate in allowing all learners

to achieve their full, unique potential

from their various starting points.

We're Going to Find the Monster!

by Malorie Blackman and Dapo Adeola


Charlie and Eddie are playing in the garden one morning when Dad gives them a ten-minute warning for breakfast. They know that they have to find the grumpy, prickly monster, but where will they find him?

The brave brother and sister set off on a journey of adventure over shimmering oceans, high mountains and past fierce tigers to discover the terrifying monster in his lair: or, as it turns out, their teenage brother Marcus in his bedroom.
