A day in the life of Tater Du
Each morning session includes reading, maths and writing. Morning break is time for a snack and play using a variety of equipment such as skipping ropes, hoops, stilts and balls. We also have a trim trail, vegetable garden and tranquility area in our playground. At lunchtime children can access the extensive school field. Tater Du children share the responsibility of ensuring the younger children can access the play equipment.
In the afternoons, we have an exciting mixture of learning- Science, RE, PE, PSHE and French. We have recently introduced our Lighthouse Learning sessions, where we spend blocks of time as historians, geographers, musicians, artists, computer operators and designers!
Of course, no day would be complete without sharing the class story, a quiet time loved by all.
