Farm shop!

Reception are learning about a new story- The Enormous Turnip. On Monday we took a trip to the farm shop to buy our own vegetables and the children prepared the vegetables to make their own soup! On Tuesday we were busy transforming our role play areas into our very own farm shops. This week the children have also been introduced to our Learning Hero at Thistle Hill- Winnie The Pooh. Lots of children have already been getting special stickers for showing resilience, collaboration and determination in their learning. Well done!

Engaging and rich EYFS experiences on the Isle of Sheppey.

At Thistle Hill, our children are excited and motivated to engage in rich and challenging experiences, both inside and outside of their classroom. We have high ambitions for all of our children, with staff planning carefully to meet each child’s needs and stage of development, ensuring our children get off to a great start in their education. Child initiated play based learning is at the heart of our practice. We carefully plan for opportunities, activities and experiences that develop all of our children into independent, resilient and confident learners.
