Activity Days
Cooking
All our children at First Steps, apart from our Crawlers Clas
s, participate in cooking activities covering all areas of learning. Identifying ingredients, weighing them, mixing and tasting samples, both sweet and savoury, offers many learning opportunities and a tasty snack to take home.
Gym Sessions
Once a week the 
children take part in a supervised gym session that takes place on the premises in one of our classrooms. It is approximately one hour long and consists of a warm up routine, music and movement, apparatus and team ball games. No special footwear is necessary as shoes and socks are removed, but we would ask that suitable clothing e.g. shorts/trousers, T-shirts/polo shirts are worn as the children can become quite warm.
Outings
At least once a term we like to take the older children out o
f school to learn more about their environment and local community. The children are taken in small groups, either by train or minibus to an appropriate venue. Each visit is thoroughly researched in advance and every detail is planned and a risk assessment made. Details of outings are posted on the class notice-boards.
COSTS
A small charge is made to cover the cost of these activites for our Government Funded children (3& 4 year olds attending morning sessions). Explorers costs are inclusive of these activites.
