Welcome to PJ Masks! Our classroom environment has been very carefully designed to maximise children’s creativity and help promote excellent speech and language development. Here in PJ Masks we love to read, and enjoy sitting down as a class and venturing into a good story book!
We are lucky enough to have both indoor and outdoor areas for the children to access. These areas are set up with fun activities using exciting resources which allow the children to learn new skills and develop their independence in an enjoyable and stimulating way. We have both adult planned activities and activities that follow the children’s interests. Everyone learns best when they are excited and interested in the activities.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. The children take part in English, Maths, and a Topic activity daily. We deliver daily RWI phonics sessions to develop the children’s understanding of the sounds that they can hear and recognising what the letters look like. This knowledge will help to develop their reading and writing skills.
In Early Years, we focus on the development of fine and gross motor skills as we believe physical development is important. Our children have many opportunities to develop fine motor skills alongside gross motor skills so they can become confident to explore the world around them. All children in the PJ Masks take part in a weekly PE lesson. Our PE day is on a Friday.
We work in partnership with home, and use the platform Class DoJo to regularly share updates with parents on their child’s activities they have taken part in.
Children in our Class are looked after by a dedicated team of highly-qualified early years staff, Mrs Gisborne (Class Teacher) Miss Cowan and Mrs Rabould (Class Teaching Assistants) and Miss McNulty (Classroom Aprentice) who all nurture each child to feel comfortable, confident and a valued part of the Caldew Lea’s family.
If you have any questions about Early Years, please get in contact.
