OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN WHO RECEIVE EARLY YEARS PUPIL PREMIUM FUNDING
Forest School
These are outdoor learning experiences. Children are stimulated by the outdoors and typically experience, over time, an increase in their self- belief, confidence, learning capacity, enthusiasm, communication and problem-solving skills and emotional well-being.
‘My Time’
Children attending this group focus on naming and identifying emotions and building their own self-esteem and resilience; this supports their language development. All this is achieved through play activities.
Lift Off to Language
Lift Off to Language includes a variety of activities, which introduce a wide range of vocabulary for each child and by working in small groups, each activity allows the child to express themselves individually. (Focussed on either 2 year olds or 3-4 year olds.)
Games Group
This group supports children interacting with each other, turn taking and sharing.
Reading Group
This group celebrates story with children being able to join in with repeated refrains, discuss characters, settings and plot and hear and play with rhyme and alliteration.
