When children join us at Beech House, our first priority is to
try to build up good relationships between the adults and children
and between the boys and girls themselves. We want the children to
feel they really belong to our school and that they are in a safe,
caring environment. Once they are settled and confident, we
encourage them to become more independent and to accept some
responsibility for their own learning and for classroom tasks.
Learning starts with the child as our 'Myself' topic is all
about family and home life. The children gain an awareness of their
feelings and of their own and different cultures. They enjoy
dressing up and role play in settings ranging from 'home' to a
Chinese restaurant.
