• 8:45 am - The day begins with a story; in fact, we use the power of stories to underpin much of our learning in preschool. Children are allowed to investigate, and explore the activities in both the indoor and outdoor classroom.
• 9:45 am - We stop for a snack and milk and use this time to begin to explore the value of routines, hygiene and good manners.
• Mid morning - Phonics takes place after snack and is delivered for around 10 minutes in a fun and interactive way using Fred the Frog. Find out more information regarding our phonics scheme.
• Late morning - The children are invited to ‘choose’ an activity or work with an adult to extend their learning.
• 11:45 am - Morning session ends and for children staying for the afternoon session, lunch begins. Preschool children join Reception children for lunch in the school hall.

School lunches

School lunches can be ordered through ParentPay - an online payment service. An example menu can be found on our school meals page.

Wildlife Wednesday

'Wildlife Wednesday' takes place weekly. Our wildlife area has an outdoor classroom, pond, mud kitchen and a real campfire for the children to explore. Forest School activities are carefully planned and each week, children will be introduced to a new skill, often linked to the Sustainable Development Goals; we want the children of our future to understand how to take care of their immediate environment in practical ways. Children often get muddy during forest school sessions; therefore, we suggest bringing wellies and a waterproof coat or an all-in-one for forest play. Children love immersing themselves in the natural area and we do not place restrictions on them - the more mud the better!

Uniform/book bag/water bottle

Our uniform is an important part of our school identity and helps children feel proud to belong to Cutnall Green C of E Primary and Preschool. Please make sure your child comes to school in the correct uniform.

Children should also have a sun hat and sun cream in warm weather, and a coat, gloves, and other warm clothing during the colder months.
