Our New EYFS & Key Stage 1 Outdoor Area
We need your help!
Here at Ellistown Primary School we passionately believe that young children learn best through play and exploration. Wherever possible we offer children the opportunity to experience real life events that are linked to their learning. Continuous Provision enables us to do this.
Every day our EYFS and KS1 children get the opportunity to be an artist, writer, mathematician, scientist, designer or a storyteller to name but a few! These play-based experiences enable the children to consolidate their skills, knowledge and understanding and enable them to become independent and resilient learners. Throughout the inside environment you will see busy children actively engaged in a wide range of activities that they themselves have chosen. Continuous provision supports and encourages our children and staff to have a lifelong love of learning.
To enable us to deliver this provision at the highest level we need to improve our outside area to provide the same level of excitement, engagement and challenge that we have inside. All groups of children are different, but in every group there will be some children who learn best when they are outside. To make it easier for these children to learn, we need an environment that is safe, inviting, stimulating and challenging. Outdoor play is as important as indoor play. Providing space, fresh air, freedom and time are essential for children’s emotional, social and personal well-being, as well as providing opportunities for big moves and development of gross and fine motor skills.
Unfortunately due to schools receiving reduced budgets we are only able to improve our facilities by fundraising and donations from local businesses. If you are able to make a donation not only will this enhance the education of the children who currently attend our school but also those of future generations for many years to come.
