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.

We have had an exciting and very busy week in Marazion! The children have settled in really well and shown great enthusiasm for their learning. In Maths, we practised recognising and counting numbers, number bonds to 5, and counting verbally and with objects. In Literacy, we have practised writing CVC words, captions and simple sentences, with a focus on correct letter and number formation. In History, we learned about homes from the past, from the Bronze Age to the modern day, and used construction toys to create our own models of homes. In Design and Technology, we explored the different materials homes are made from, then drew and labelled features of our own homes in our sketchbooks. In Science, we identified and labelled different parts of the body, before using our voices and body percussion to accompany songs in Music. Our PSHE lesson discussed what makes us feel safe and special in our classroom. It has been a fantastic week, and we are very proud of all that the children have achieved!

We have had another fabulous week in Marazion. In literacy, we explored the story ‘The Colour Monster’ by Anna Llenas. Through this engaging tale, we learned that each colour represents a different emotion. The children worked in small groups to role-play various emotions while their friends tried to guess which feeling they were portraying. We also got creative with playdough, sculpting our very own colour monsters. In maths, we focused on sorting objects by colour, size, or type. In science, we continued exploring the human body, focusing on our eyes and ears. The children researched the most common eye colour in Marazion and recorded their findings in a chart. In RE, we discussed what a bible is and why it is important for Christians. During computing, we went on a walk around the school looking for various types of electrical technology. Meanwhile, in design technology, the children experimented with different materials and tools to join objects together. They used sellotape, string, Blu-Tack, and glue to combine materials for junk modelling. In small groups, they then worked collaboratively to build model homes.
