Forest School
Forest School at The Twyn School is a great way to learn. Nursery and Reception are involved in Forest School lessons at The Twyn School. For Reception, Forest School happens on a Friday - 'Forest Friday.' The children get waterproof suits and their wellies on and we go outdoors to learn. By involving the children in all sorts of fun and collaborative activities in the natural environment it is hoped brains will flourish and individuals self esteem will be raised. So far we have had a wonderful time and been excellent at working and playing together.

In our class within The Twyn School Early Years Unit we encourage pupils to have a love of life, an understanding of people and a desire for learning. The well-being of our children is at the heart of learning, we are inclusive and focused on raising attainment and achievement of all our members of our class.
Thinking skills/Thinking about our thinking Problem Solving Number work and Sound work - Let's make a great start in 2009! Reading words and then sentences - Wow, some children have started both reading and writing sentences. Book bags - We read in school every day. Please send in the book bag on the correct day, this will help us support your child. We will read with your child, write to you and send the book bag home again with some direction.
