### What a typical day looks like:

Between 8:45 am and 9:00 am all Early Years children start the day with an active Freddy Fit Session which includes exercise to music, this invigorates their bodies and minds so they are ready to learn and improves the fitness of all our children.
Children in Y1 to Y6 start the day with Morning Maths, a Writing or Grammar activity or Micro Vipers (Reading Comprehension).

All children have a short break in the morning, and Key Stage 1 children also have an afternoon break. Breaktimes take place on one of our three playgrounds and, during the summer, on our school field:
