Children enjoyed finding out about cogs in a science investigation, and were able to place three cogs in order to make tern move. They discovered that by turning one the others moved. Children can select their own materials to make clocks in technology and instruct the move backwards and forwards. When using a computer, they cause a mouse, know where the keys are positioned and change information on the screen. Children are learning important concepts for their later work in history, geography, science, technology and information technology.
Children have a wide range of opportunities in the creative areas of learning, and progress is good.
The children have many opportunities to use different media and are developing their skills in handling paints, pastels, chalks and materials. They are beginning to draw detailed pictures of themselves and can print with objects carefully. The children's physical development is good. They have good opportunities to use the hall, but opportunities to the equipment outside are more limited. The children have a good awareness of space and respond very well to instructions in the ball being able to work for sustained periods of time.
