Outdoor Learning and Forest School

Our learning environment is not simply the four walls of the classroom - it is the wild, natural outdoor play area, it is our dedicated forest school area and our amazing school gymnasium.

At Wheatley Hil, our children spend a lot of time exploring the outdoor world as they take part in weekly forest school or beach school activities. The children also have access to our outdoor learning area.

​

Some of the outdoor learning areas include:-

• Construction Areas

• Sand and Water Exploration

• Forest School Area and Fire Pit

• Mud Kitchen

• Climbing Area

• Vegetable Garden

• Outdoor Shelters

​

Please see the gallery on the left.

In a quality Early Years setting, the learning environment becomes the third educator following the parents and teachers and this is what we believe here at Wheatley Hill.

 

Our brand new Early Years environment is a truely amazing space and uses natural materials to create a fantastic learning environment. Our Early Year's staff members are extremely hard working and dedicated. We are very lucky here at Wheatley Hill as we are able to offer excellent groups sizes of no more than 8 children per group.

Some of the learning areas include:-

• Artist Studio

• Construction Areas

• Sand and Water Exploration

• Cooking Area

• Role Play and Home Corner

An Amazing Learning Environment

Two Year Old Provision at Wheatley Hill Primary & Nursery School

Our Two Year Old classroom at Wheatley Hill Primary is a brand new classroom that we have recently created and it is a fantastic learning environment for our young children. It is wonderful to welcome two year old children to our school and the young children, who joined us recently have settled in fantastically.

Family Groups

When children join our Two Year Old Class, they will become a part of our Wheatley Hill family. We are very lucky at Wheatley Hill as we have high numbers of adults so children are in groups of no bigger than 4 children per adult. Our Two Year Old class is also overseen by Mrs Laverick - a very experienced Early Years educator and part of our EYFS school team. We believe that working with a teacher is one of the beneifts of joining a school based Early Years Provision therefore our Two Year old children will also be supported and educated by qualified teachers.

​

Activities

When the children are brought into school by their parents / guardians, they spend time working with the adults in school to complete tasks that focus on early childhood development. Children also spend large amounts of time accessing the wonderful learning environment that we have created including the construction area, role play and art studio.
