Howitt Primary Community School

Welcome to our Rhyme room page

Welcome to our 2 year old provision at Howitt Primary Community School. In the Rhyme room, we believe in giving all the children the best possible start to their school life. Essentially, this is done by providing a safe, happy and friendly environment for the children.

We know that children learn most effectively through play. Our dedicated staff create an environment in which purposeful play can take place.  Our role is to observe, interact, enable and extend the children’s play in order that they gradually come to understand the world around them. Our curriculum is broken down into termly topics focusing on the children and their interests and seasonal changes around them.

Our Rhyme room team:

Mrs Riley and  Mrs Bowler
