Our children enjoy exploring a range of stimulating activities that motivate them to investigate, discover, learn, and acquire skills ready for reception. There are always lots of personal and social opportunities to develop confidence, build positive relationships and make new friends along the way! At the nursery, the children learn to share, take turns, care, ask and question. They have lots of imagination and like to learn together to experience all things creative. We like to celebrate the children’s successes and are always proud of their achievements.

The real importance of sports day in school is what it does for the spirits and camaraderie of the school community. Team sports are known to encourage a healthy level of competition and also bonding in teams as they work together to achieve a goal.
It is a great time for students to practise supporting each other through both successes and failure.
Cooking activities for kids are fun and educational simultaneously.
Cooking does not only help children relax but also helps develop physical, social, mental, and emotional skills.
Cooking together can help children learn the values of teamwork and communication. While cooking, they can also learn to measure, count, and cut food items.
We ensure learners grow and become better in both talent and education.
We have set up Writing and reading club sessions for kids to explore their reading and writing skills.
Children are given notebooks and encouraged to ‘loosen their writing muscles’ with a range of word hunts, lists and short writing exercises.
Together with their respective teachers, they always read aloud a piece of writing to broaden their vocabulary, ideas and structures, and to increase their literary knowledge.
Here children develop the skills they need to listen to each other, to maintain and develop their attention skills. In addition, children develop the skills to speak and communicate and use this in their everyday life. Understanding language, sentences and instructions are also a part of this area of learning.
Physical education (PE) is part of every child’s entitlement to a good education.
It is unique in that it is taught through physical activity in weekly practical lessons both indoors and outdoors, in a wide range of physical, creative and aesthetic settings.
At Elmridge Primary School, we believe that Physical Education (PE), experienced in a safe and supportive environment, is essential to ensure children attain optimum physical and emotional development and good health.
First, music lessons help children to develop valuable creative thinking skills. By learning how to play an instrument, children learn how to make decisions and problem solve. This can help them in other areas of their life, such as in school and when making decisions.
Second, music lessons can help children learn discipline. Learning to play an instrument takes practice and dedication, and these skills can help them in other areas of their life.
Third, music lessons can help children build self-confidence. Music lessons are a great way for children to express themselves and develop a sense of accomplishment.
Fourth, music lessons can help children learn to collaborate. When children learn to play an instrument in a group setting, they learn how to work with others to create something wonderful.
