Over the next few weeks, we hope you'll be keeping yourselves busy indoors. There are plenty of ways to do this: reading, drawing, watching cartoons, dancing, exercising, playing board games and creating your own games too!
To help you do something a little bit different each day and keep your mind active and healthy, below are various ideas and activities.

Welcome to Early Years!
In Early Years, we lay the foundations for learning.
We provide a rich and exciting curriculum both indoors and outdoors. We believe that all children deserve the best possible start with their time at school so that they will grow to become “confident, lifelong learners”.
At Bond, we recognise that every child is unique and that children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates. We follow the statutory framework for Early Years and so all our pupils will cover the 3 prime areas of learning and the 4 specific areas of learning.
Our Reception Classes:
Stripy Butterflies: Miss C Morrell (Class Teacher), Ms Jackson
Spotty Butterflies: Mrs J Best-Biddle (Class Teacher), Miss M Haque, Mrs Proracki
