Half-term begins today at 3pm. Hope everyone has a good break.
This blog is unlikely to be updated during the next week.
Parents are welcomed into the Junior School at any time but especially when delivering children in the morning and at the end of the school day when they have the opportunity to chat with the teachers.
Year 1 and Year 2 study separate subjects which are planned in co-operation with the heads of each subject in the Prep Department and much of the curriculum is cross-curricular at this stage.
Drama, PE, Music and Movement, Swimming and Computer Studies also form part of the curriculum.
Individual music lessons are available with a vast range of instruments on offer.
Classes are small with each one having a teacher and a classroom assistant.
The day begins with an assembly at 8.45am. PHSE is covered in this time by the themed weekly topic eg looking after the earth, people who help us, five golden rules.
All children have school lunch seated on tables of eight and are served by a member of staff.
The day ends at 3.30pm and after school care is offered until 5.30pm (Wednesday 4.30pm).
Every day, (except Wednesday) Year 2 are offered an optional activity from 3.30pm-4.30pm where they join Year 3 and 4.
Much use is made of the rural environment and the Pre-Prep children enjoy cultivating their garden plots and sampling the produce.
Come and sample the produce in our farm shop and be advised by the children about healthy eating.
In short, to enjoy a wide range of experiences, please arrange a visit to the Terrington Hall Junior Department for your child.
