(Early Years Foundation) Discovery

Welcome to Discovery!

Mrs Carter and Mrs Madurasinghe, “Discovery” Class Teachers; and Claire Guest and Caron Baker, "Discovery" Class Teaching Assistants.

Welcome to Woolaston School. As experienced teachers across a wide range of year groups, we are now both looking forward  to another year teaching the Reception-aged children in the Discovery Class. We are looking forward to working in a welcoming and nurturing setting, providing many opportunities for child-led activities and outdoor learning. During the year we will plan and develop activities linked to the interests of the children in the class, helping to inspire and encourage the children to learn as we develop their own interests and ideas.

We particularly enjoy encouraging the children to become more aware of their natural environment and the RSPB Bird Watch and the Big Butterfly Watch are ideal for this. We are aiming to become even more adventurous with our attempts at gardening and it’s great to have the interest and help from the parents as we grow fruits, vegetables and flowers.

If you are interested in being a parent helper please let us know. By coming in to help for even short periods of time parents develop a greater understanding of the way we work and how children learn, and can reinforce that learning at home.
