Our daily routine is an essential part of helping children settle into Little Owls and feel secure in their environment. We follow a consistent routine each day, providing children with a predictable structure that supports their confidence and independence.

Throughout the day, children take part in a variety of activities designed to support all areas of learning and development. Daily Listening and Attention activities help children develop their focus, conversational skills, turn-taking, understanding, memory, and ability to answer questions. Maths activities provide opportunities to explore counting, numeral recognition, shapes, patterns, positional language, size, and capacity.

Children also participate in Dough Gym and Finger Gym activities, which strengthen fine motor skills, develop hand muscles, and build the control needed for mark making and using one-handed tools such as scissors.

Each afternoon, children take part in a mindfulness activity as a class. These sessions provide an opportunity to pause, reflect, and learn about emotions. Developing emotional literacy helps children to recognise, understand, and express their feelings, as well as learn strategies to regulate their emotions when they feel overwhelmed.

Throughout the week, children also engage in Adult-Led Activities linked to our current learning focus. These activities may be completed individually with an adult or in a small group and provide targeted opportunities to extend learning and support each child's development
