What does learning look like for K1 Children?

Children learn through … … Play and Inquiry

It’s a journey, not a race! We build strong foundations for learning. We don’t build as high as we can, as fast as we can.

How does it all fit together? All subjects are taught through the Unit of Inquiry where possible.
