These are an exciting and important part of the programme.
They allow children to experience stories and music from around the world as well as a chance to discuss the day, their learning and listen to different points of view, while at the same time developing their confidence to speak in front of an audience.
It is also a time to learn numeracy and literacy concepts.
Our group times are a special time of the day.
The children work in small groups with a dedicated teacher who plans experiences for the group that build on their strengths, needs and interests.
These sessions provide incredible learning opportunities for each child.
