Summer Term 1 ‘Tell me a Story…

This term, Apple class will do just this, they will bring to life traditional tales that have been passed down between generations and re-told countless times. We will learn about the many characters within these popular stories, and where the setting of a forest can take on a whole new meaning. We start our adventures with a journey to find a bear in a cave! Goldilocks will lead us to a delightful cottage in the forest, where the smell of sweet porridge beckons her to enter the world of the 3 Bears. We shall be wary of the ‘Big Bad Wolf‘ and his huffing and puffing, where 3 little pigs and girl in a red cloak will overcome their fears and defeat this sly grey beast! Will finish the term with a look at the past, what was life like for a pirate? Over the next six weeks, Apple class will learn, retell and invent their own stories, bringing their imaginations to life!

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.
