Our Approach

From the very start of their St Mary's School journey, our children show us that play is our brain’s favourite way of learning, which is why it’s the centre of our EYFS and KS1 curriculum. We believe that continuous provision helps independent, inquisitive and motivated learners to flourish by meeting the language, social, emotional and physical needs of our children. 

Continuous provision at St Mary's enables children from all backgrounds to have the same opportunities, providing a rich variety of practical experiences. Children are encouraged to take responsibility for extending and practising what they have been learning and complete challenges which are designed to foster and ignite their curiosity.
​
Children are taught to use life-long skills such as perseverance, problem-solving and responsibility in their day-to-day routine and plan their own learning enquiries. The flexibility and ownership that children have of their learning means that opportunities can be easily adapted to meet the specific needs of each individual child – no matter what their starting point. 

Phonics
Phonics is taught daily in a group that is working on a specific set of sounds according to the ability of the child. Each session has a distinct structure and utilises Read Write Inc (RWI).  The children take home a RWI book each week to re-read and develop fluency.

Spring 2

Here is our termly cog document where you can find details of the different subjects we are covering this term. 

 Our class books

This term, our stories will link to our project, 'Food Glorious Food!’

We will be exploring the book ‘I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato’ by Lauren Child in our English lessons. The story is about a child called Lola who will not eat peas or many other vegetables. Her older brother, Charlie, supports her to try new foods by comparing them to weird and wonderful things that are made up. The children will have the opportunity to share ideas, make predictions, write sentences and lists and role-play parts of the story. They will also learn new vocabulary and retell the story in their own words.

We will also be reading 'The Tiny Seed' by Eric Carle as part of our story times.
