The ‘Characteristics of Effective Learning’ contribute towards children’s skills for life and independence. These include:-

  • Finding out and exploring

  • Playing with what they know

  • Be willing to have a go

  • Showing concentration and focus

  • Keep on trying

  • Enjoying what they are achieving

  • Having their own ideas

  • Making links

  • Choosing how to carry a task out.


In St. Michael’s Early Years we create many opportunities for children to practice their independent skills. This includes attending to personal hygiene and care; following daily routines such as tidying up after snack time and learning activities; selecting and choosing their own resources; and staying safe in their environment. We develop social skills such as turn-taking, sharing resources, following and carrying out instructions, collaborative play, waiting patiently and being kind towards adults and peers.

Below you will find a generic timetable of what is covered each day in Red and Green class. We also give the children a ‘visual timetable’ to share with their family at home and this supports our home school partnership.
