Discovery Time

In Red Class, the children learn through lessons, guided groups and discovery time. The latter is often referred to as ‘continuous provision’ and involves activities prepared for the children as well as activities created by the children. The adults in the room skillfully enhance these activities through suggestions, questions and joining in. In the first year of their school experience, children are learning the skills underlying subjects such as Reading and Maths but also developing socially, acquiring the motor skills for future tasks and learning new words at an astonishing rate which they use in creative stories and play.
