Information about Sycamore Base:
In Sycamore base we have two lovely classrooms and one shared wet area where we enjoy creative activities.
Our topic changes every half-term and all of our learning is linked to our exciting topics. We are looking forward to exploring our topics through practical, engaging activities.
Every half-term we focus on one of the 6Rs (Responsibility, Resilience, Respect, Resourcefulness, Reflection and Reciprocity) so that we understand what skills and attitudes are necessary in order to be a successful independent learner. We will continue to explore ways of fostering a growth mind-set, so that children relish challenges, are intrigued by mistakes, feel proud of effort and continue to be excited about new learning.
If you show one of the 6Rs you will be rewarded a gem, which will contribute towards an exciting base reward. Children who have been particularly good role models are chosen to move their name pegs onto the rainbow.
