St Martin at Shouldham Pre-School
Our Pre-School
Friendship Caring Learning
The children have opportunities to develop in all areas through play and exploration guided by experienced and caring staff.
The Pre-School is based in its own large, open classroom with access to its own wonderful outdoor area including a large wooden sand pit, mud kitchen, music wall, ride on toys and a bird hide.
We have a large range of indoor and outdoor equipment to enhance the children’s love of learning within a creative and caring environment.
Pre-School children also have access to the whole school facilities including a large field, small woodland area, the school hall and a well-stocked and colourful library.
Our Learning
In Trackers we offer a stimulating, play-based environment both inside and out which supports the areas of learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
The class is set up for children to involve themselves in challenging activities to develop and extend their learning. We develop learning based upon the children’s interests as well as aspects of our whole school Knowledge Curriculum.

Pupil Voice
I loved cooking pancakes for pancake day and making things with the arts and crafts.
I loved being outside in the garden and using the bikes. I loved making pictures with paint and colouring.
I loved building things in the construction area and making animal castles. I really loved being outside and I loved learning about dinosaurs and finding their fossils.
