North Patchway Pre-School - Timetable for a typical session

 

Time, Activity
9:15, Children arrive - coats are hung up. They then self register themselves by finding their name and posting it into our postbox - they might have something to put on the show-and-tell table and the children settle into free play. There is a selection of many activities to choose from(both indoors and outoors). We run a free flow procedure allowing your child to choose indoor or outdoor play and also the chance to take indoor resources outside and vice versa. This way your child is able to experiment in a much wider way enhancing all their learning skills.
10.15, All children are called together for circle time. We discuss our topic and children show and talk about their show and tell item both number games and letter games are played e.g. 'I Spy'.Children also sing nursery rhymes during this time.
10.30, Our snack bar is opened it remains open until 11.00 giving your child a choice to decide when they would like their snack as free play is once again available. The snack bar is always supervised by an adult but children help themselves to fruit and pour their own drinks out (this gives them greater confidence as they feel 'all grown up').
11.15, Time to tidy up. The childen help to tidy the toys and equipment away ready for story time.
11.25, Time to sit together on the mat. Children are encouraged to come to the front individually and tell everyone what they played with today and which resource was todays favourite. This is then followed with story time.
11.40, Children remaining for the shorter session put on their coats and sit on mat ready for collection at 11.45.

11.45, Remaining children wash their hands and then sit together at tables for their lunch.
