During the first three weeks, children take part in baseline activities and learn how to use the classroom provision independently. Learning is rooted in their own experiences of home and family life, helping them to make connections between what they already know and their school environment. Parents support this through activities such as sending photos from home, sharing ‘first day at school’ letters, and completing the ‘dress the figure’ task. This foundation helps children feel confident talking about themselves, their families, and their immediate world before extending their understanding to the wider community and the world around them.
