9:00 Greeting Time – the child is met at the door by one of our practitioners. The child puts away their break in the fridge and hangs up their own coat.
9:10 Newstime – the children sit on their own cushions and each child tells their news. Also at this time we discuss colours, shapes, numbers, letters, days of the week etc.
9:20 The child sits at the table in their group and decides what areas they would like to play in for Work Time.
9:30 This is where the child carries out their Planned Activity. It also allows them the opportunity to mix with other children and problem solving.
10:15 Tidy up time
10:25 Review Time. The child sits in their group at the table and talks about what they did and how they did it.
10:40 Wash Hands

11:05 Outside Time
11:40 Small Group Time – This is where the children sit on their own at the table and the teacher works with them individually.
