Autumn Term 1 ‘Me, Myself and I’
The first term in Apple Class always begins with a journey of discovery. We will learn about ourselves, each other and our wider school community. The children will reflect upon their interests and motivations. They will make new friends and discover new concepts together. We introduce the children to the day-to-day routines and expectations at school. Using inspiring books, the children will engage in a range of activities, to broaden their knowledge and experiences, beyond prior learning. We hope to support our new Apples, so that they feel safe, happy and enthused about the year ahead. Welcome to Batheaston Church school, we are looking forward to an exciting year ahead!

Our Vision Statement for EYFS at Batheaston Church School
At Batheaston Church School we endeavour to promote a love of learning; where interests and talents are nurtured and challenged, empathy is fostered and friendships formed. A child entering Apple Class will embark on a creative, engaging learning adventure. Our environment is rich in first-hand experiences with time given to dream, aspire and achieve. Independence is encouraged and risk-taking is celebrated within safe and secure surroundings.
As a team we are passionate about the education of young children. Activities planned provide a wide range of opportunities to enable children to play, work, collaborate, apply skills learnt, test ideas and narrate their inner imaginings. We aim to build children’s academic, social and emotional well-being so that they can thrive both within our walls and the world beyond.
