At Fisherton EYC we believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing and inspiring environment to learn and grow. Our dedicated staff provide fun, hands-on activities both indoors and outdoors that spark curiosity, build confidence and celebrate each child’s unique talents, our pupils are developing essential Meta Skills for life and learning. From creative play to exciting adventures at the nearby beach and woods, we help children build confidence, curiosity and friendships while supporting families every step of the way. We also offer PEEP sessions, stay and play, giving parents and children the chance to learn, play and connect together.

Our Learning
In The Big Class, we Lead Our Learning — our voices, ideas and interests are valued and help shape what we do. We take ownership of our progress and reflect regularly on our achievements.
📖Literacy
This year, we are embarking on our South Ayrshire Reads journey, which helps us be confident, motivated readers and writers.
We have four phonics sessions each week, exploring new phonemes and graphemes. Phonics is woven throughout our everyday learning across the curriculum.
Our whole-class novel approach encourages deep understanding, critical thinking, and rich discussion. We explore language, character, theme and structure, and pupils read aloud independently or in small groups with an adult each week. Reading for enjoyment is promoted within the class and pupils can see what children’s novel their teacher is reading in our class library.
Our Class Library
Our writing is interdisciplinary, linking to other areas of learning such as social studies and science. Pupils engage in a weekly immersive writing experience, as well as regular opportunities for writing across the curriculum.
➗ Maths
In maths, we take a thinking classroom approach that encourages curiosity, collaboration and critical thinking. We focus on understanding, reasoning and problem-solving — not just getting the right answer.
Our maths learning cycle includes:
- A non-curricular thinking task to spark curiosity and reasoning skills.
- A discursive task where pupils explain and debate their mathematical thinking.
- An investigation that encourages inquiry and creativity.
- Deliberate practice, consolidating key concepts and fluency.
- Reflection, where we review what we’ve learned and identify next steps.
We use a concrete–pictorial–abstract (CPA) approach, ensuring pupils develop a deep and flexible understanding of mathematical ideas.
Our Values
We live by our school values every day — being Safe, Kind, Helpful, Responsible, Respectful and Tenacious.
Through our “Anchor Your Actions” Class Bucks system, we recognise positive behaviour, teamwork and effort. Together, we build a classroom community where everyone feels supported and proud to be part of The Big Class!
