Learning Journeys
Parents are able to access their child’s learning journey through WOW moments shared on Seesaw, which will be shared with photographs!
In addition to viewing our contributions, we encourage you to add to it by uploading photos and comments about your child and their achievements at home.
In the Moment
Here at Haxby Road Primary Academy we have a strong belief that children learn best when allowed to explore their environment and see where their imagination takes them. We follow In the moment planning, taking the children’s ideas and interests to the next level. Highly trained staff that are passionate about enhancing these key moments, will seize every teachable moment, facilitating ideas and modelling language to provide children with outstanding opportunities to learn.
This method of teaching allows staff to get to know children individually, ensuring they can provide opportunities to achieve their next steps. Alongside the ITMP, staff plan short phonics and maths sessions each day as well as regular Dough Disco, soft play and Forest school sessions. Together the balance of child initiated learning alongside the adult led ensures that all children are able to access the whole Early years curriculum throughout their time with us.
WOW moments will be recorded on Seesaw and shared with parents/carers online. Photos and pieces of evidence will be collected throughout the year and placed in a Learning Journey folder. These can be shared with parents/careers and will be given to families at the end of EYFS.
Experiences and Enrichments
Alongside our exciting curriculum and experiences, we offer extra enrichments to support and enhance your child’s learning.
Forest Schools
Throughout their time in Tiny Steps, we offer the children the opportunity to explore nature and risk taking by exploring our Forest School area. This is a fantastic place, full of opportunities for learning, including minibeast hunting, climbing and balancing and also building your child’s confidence
