Our outdoor area has been recently renovated and the children have been loving exploring it. We mirror our indoor areas outside and on a larger scale. This allows the children to embed their learning and master skills that have been taught during our carpet times.

Reading is of the upmost importance to us at The Mill. We are always looking for ways to make reading fun and exciting for the children to encourage their love of reading. Our Read Write Inc. sessions really encourage this but so do our classroom areas. Each classroom, as well as outside, have a reading area. These areas are themed and changed regularly to reflect the children's interest.

The Mill teaches maths through Maths Mastery. This involves carpet sessions and small group sessions. We then reflect the learning intentions in the activities we put out in the environment for the children to freely access and embed the learning.
