The school day in Foundation
8.50am-9am
A soft start to the day - we have a ten minute window for the children to make their way into school. This allows a member of staff to greet them on the door personally, and it helps the children settle in to school at their own pace. In the classroom there are opportunities for children to practise their fine motor skills by joing in with the 'Busy Fingers' activities.
9am - 9:30am
We start the school day with Phonics.
