At Hornsea Burton and Skipsea Primary Schools we encourage imagination, creativity, independence, and social development in an engaging and stimulating environment.
Our sessions are organised so that the children can access a range of independent and adult- led activities which introduce them to new experiences and skills helping them to grow.
Our Outdoor Area
The outdoor learning environment offers great space and freedom for our children to express themselves and offers a range of activities which benefit their health, physical development and knowledge of the world around them.
Our activities are inclusive of weekly Forest School expeditions, topic related trips into the local area and further afield locations as well as all-weather access to our regular outdoor provision which enables our children to learn outdoors in every season, during all weather and all year long, enhancing their learning potential.
We have a fabulous Mud Kitchen, Sand and Water Area, lots of construction materials as well as outdoor Maths and Writing Areas to help further develop essential curriculum and fine motor skills. Our outdoor learning ‘Book Nook’ promotes access to quality literature everywhere and highlights the importance of reading for pleasure which is actively promoted across the schools. We also have an independent access multi-skills shed with obstacle course material and resources to help the children secure strong gross motor skills.
Parents wishing to visit the school should telephone the school office to arrange an appointment to meet with the Head teacher. We offer a home visit to children new to the Early Years Foundation Stage. We feel that it is important that the first contact that your child has with the members of staff who will be teaching your child during the school day, is in the security of their own home. The meeting will give you and school staff the opportunity to exchange vital information so that staff can begin to plan a personalised learning programme for your child right from the start.
Our Classroom
Our Foundation Stage Unit offers an exciting learning environment which provides a wide choice of high-quality learning opportunities that encourage the children to develop their skills as active learners, explorers, creative individuals and critical thinkers.
Our children have access to a range of resources which cover all essential areas of the curriculum; Phonics, Reading, Writing, Maths, Creative and Role-Play Areas, as well as a Sand and Water Area.
The equipment is easily and independently accessible and ongoing topics and provision enhancements in each area, enable the children to investigate, explore and create at their own pace.
Our teaching and learning areas are carefully planned so that the children can be independent learners and build the skills required to be successful and resilient learners.
