Have a look at what your child will be learning during their time at Martin Frobisher
We follow a thematic approach to learning ensuring children have a variety of learning opportunities but also ensuring all areas of learning are covered to support their development of knowledge and skills throughout the year, building upon existing knowledge from Nursery. We also follow children’s interest, throughout the day supporting children in provision with areas of learning linking to our themes but then supporting where children want to take their own learning and curiosity
