Mrs Holder is our class teacher on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. She is also Deputy Head and SENCo. On a Thursday, Mr Cole is the class teacher and he takes us to Forest School, with Miss Searle. Mrs Lane is our wonderful Class TA. Miss Higginson has also recently joined us as a Support Assistant and is with us full time. Mrs Ralph is our EYFS apprentice and is in class full time. In Monkey Puzzle class, we like to learn through a play-based curriculum, following the Early Years Foundation Stage. We have lots of ‘Owl Time’ (Own Learning Time), as well as adult led activities. We have an indoor and outdoor classroom filled with lots of inviting areas to explore. ![](https://stokeprior.hereford.sch.uk/images/gallery/learning-in-monkey-puzzle/494078730_1268419795286558_2852031106659298563_n.jpg) \* We go to Forest School every Thursday morning, weather permitting. \* We do PE on a Thursday afternoon. \* Values Education - We think about values alongside our PSHE lessons and our assemblies, embedding them into our everyday lives.
