Mursley - EYFS
The Foundation Class at Mursley is full of happy, busy learners who thrive through a mix of
play-based learning with adult led activities and challenges. Mrs Towse, along with Mrs
Rouse and Mrs Craig, support the children during this special first year at school.
The classroom itself is stimulating and fun as well as being the setting for our daily phonics
and maths sessions. The activities are carefully planned so as to reflect real life experiences
and we are so lucky to have access to a minibus to get out and about to support this.
Previous visits have included MK gym, the Fire station, College Lake, local farms as well as
the supermarket to purchase cooking supplies and the post office more locally.
The children access Forest School weekly but have daily use of our wonderful Foundation
Garden area, which is full of fun learning through play opportunities. High quality texts,
stories and rhyme feature in much of what we do, encouraging language, creativity and a
love of books in all children.
Mursley Monkey is a valued member of our class and he enjoys his weekends spent with
each child in turn, recording what he gets up to in his special journal.
Collaboration with parents and carers is crucial and we involve them as much as possible.
They are regularly invited to class to share in children’s successes and achievements. The
children are very excited to welcome a “mystery reader” adult to come in a share a story
with them.
