Bridget James & Faye Taylor

Manuka - Year 1

Bridgit, Juliet and Faye work together to provide a nurturing environment which supports young students as they begin their learning journeys at school. The focus is on enabling the continuous exploration of the world within a Learning Through Play approach. Curiosity and creativity, kindness and caring are fostered, and the childrenā€™s interests and wonderings are developed wherever possible. An understanding of the Growth Mindset is key, with the need to keep trying and to be a courageous learner encouraged. Introductions to the more formal aspects of learning and the embodiment of the school values are woven throughout the programme.
