Manorfield works in partnership with Delight to create immersive arts programmes to provide all children with the opportunity to meaningfully engage with artistic experiences.
Working alongside Delight, the children become immersed in "StoryLand". Unfolding experiences ingnites the imaginations of the children, and empowers them to become storytellers. At the end of this unit, children will perform their own stories to parents through the power of dance.
Working alongside Delight and The Guildford Shakespeare Company, children build a strong foundation in Shakespeare by creating their own performances. At the end of this unit, children perform a Shakespearian play in full Shakespearian language to their family and the wider community.
These opportunities provide the children at Manorfield Primary and Nursery School with "Memorable Moments".
Some aspects of the curriculum are delivered through focus days and weeks.
The timetable is suspended and activities are focused on either a specific subject area or key theme.
Recent focus weeks/days have included Den Day, Science Week, Arts Week, Healthy Living Week and Book Day.
The curriculum at Manorfield is enhanced by using visits and visitors whenever possible.
It is our aim that each class should have an enhanced opportunity each term.
