Teacher – Mrs Smart<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The Children in P1a and P1b are working across three play-based classroom settings and embracing the opportunities to learn through play each day. Mrs Smart, Mrs Robbins and Miss Dalzell are working with the children during their play and all adults are involved in observing the children’s play and planning next steps. All children will also work in their own classrooms with their class teacher at the \u201cTeaching Table\u201d for focussed, targeted learning suited to their individual learning needs.<\/p>\n
