PROVISION IN MARAZION
Moving from EYFS to Year One may seem daunting, but we have created an environment where children have a tidy and engaging environment where they can learn through play. Please view our picture gallery below.
In Marazion, we aim to provide a classroom that has continuous and enhanced provision.
Our Continuous Provision:
In Marazion, the children can access all our resources in the classroom. We have the following areas in place:
- Phonics area (drawers full of phonics resources, sound cards, etc.)
- Maths area (access to all maths equipment)
- Reading area (reading pod and book stand)
- Writing area (access to pens, pencils, whiteboards, writing tablets, etc, handwriting activities)
- Fine motor skills area (threading activities, buzzer games, tweezer games)
- Creative area (access to glue, scissors, plain and coloured paper, playdough, colour mixing paint area)
- Computing (free access to laptops, the class iPad to play games and scan QR codes)
▪️The resources within these areas remain in place all term/year.
Our Enhanced Provision:
- Themed tuff trays
- Book vote (each child has a named token, and they can vote on which book they want to hear at the end of the day. The book with the most votes wins.
- A role-play area (the theme changes half-termly)
- Challenges in the reading, writing, maths and phonics areas for the children to complete
▪️The enhanced provision areas are changed regularly.
Our Outdoor Environment:
Just off the back of our classroom, we have a small outdoor area, which includes a shed. I am due to inherit the shed and plan to transform it into another usable space for the children.

Summer Term 2025 Blog
Welcome back! Our topic this half term is called ‘Enchanted Greenery’ which focuses on plants. In maths we have been learning to use scales to estimate and weight different classroom objects. We have also practised reading and understanding mathematical word problems based around weight. In literacy, we have started a unit of work based on letters and postcards. The children have identified formal and informal methods of communication. In phonics, we have been practising lots of reading of real words and alien words. In PSHE, we discussed relationships and talked about how all families are different. During geography, we discussed the four seasons and matched seasons to the matching months of the year. In art, the children explored different types of paper, and they used different textured paper to create a simple pictures.
