Pre formal learning is delivered by the class teacher and is embedded throughout the class topic, often linked to a book. Learners will explore the world in a rich variety of ways within the classroom, specialist areas and outside the school. Activities are centred around sensory exploration such as dressing up to explore a different culture, using action-reaction equipment in the explore room, interacting with nature in forest school and creating sensory exploration in tuff trays. Attention Building ‘bucket’ activities are often used to gain interest, encourage joint attention and expand concentration and independent work.
